Hoda Kotb

Hoda Kotb — Hoda Kotb is best known as a co-anchor on the ‘TODAY’ show, but her career as a journalist spans decades. Hoda started as a local news anchor and reporter in Louisiana, then joining NBC News’ ‘Dateline NBC’ in 1998 as a correspondent. Hoda became the co-host of the fourth hour of ‘TODAY’ with Kathie Lee Gifford in 2008, dubbed ‘Hoda & Kathie Lee’. When Kathie Lee left the show in 2019, Jenna Bush Hager took over. Hoda also became the co-anchor of the ‘TODAY’ show’s first two hours with Savannah Guthrie in 2018, after Matt Lauer was fired for sexual harassment. Hoda has an Emmy for ‘TODAY’ and has written four books. She’s the mother of two girls: Hayley Joy Kotb, whom she adopted in 2017, and Hope Catherine Kotb, whom she adopted in 2019. She was previously married to Burzis Kanga, but they divorced in 2009. She has been dating Joel Schiffman since 2013.
