Savannah Guthrie Reflects on Hoda Kotb’s Departure From 'Today' With Humor

Guthrie joked about clearing out Kotb’s belongings after her exit, marking a new chapter for the morning show with Craig Melvin as co-anchor.

Savannah Guthrie humorously recounted discarding Hoda Kotb's left-behind items, including expired bean dip and a single contact lens, during an appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'
Kotb officially departed the 'Today' show on January 10, 2025, after a 26-year tenure with NBC, citing a desire to focus on her family and new ventures.
Craig Melvin has taken over as co-anchor alongside Guthrie, ushering in what she referred to as the 'Craig era' for the show.
Despite the lighthearted remarks, Guthrie emphasized her deep friendship with Kotb, who will continue contributing to NBC through exclusive interviews and Olympic coverage.
Kotb plans to launch a wellness app and company, offering retreats, podcasts, and more, while also making occasional appearances on 'Today' and 'Today With Jenna & Friends.'
