Yahoo Lifestyle Hoda Kotb’s “New Deal” at NBC Was Just Revealed and It’s Major
Hoda Kotb is leaving Today after 26 years working at NBC, and if you’ve been wondering what comes next, it’s pretty major.
According to Page Six, Hoda has “signed a new deal” with Today and NBC to “contribute exclusive interviews and cover the next two Olympics.” This includes monthly segments on Today, as well as heading to Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics and Los Angeles for 2028 Summer Olympics.
She spoke a little about her new gig without giving away too many details, saying “I think it’ll be kind of a Snoop-ish role.” (Reminder: according to The Sun, Snoop Dogg made $499,300 plus expenses every day he an Olympics correspondent).
“I want to be a supporting character on a team that is already in place so that I’ll come in and just have a role there. And then I’m going to do my ‘Making Space’ podcast, which I enjoy and love so much,” she added. “And for the ‘Today’ show, I think we talked about doing something every four to six weeks, just a little something.”
Hoda—whose last official day on Today is...literally today—also shut down claims that she left over a pay dispute, saying “This job is amazing and I don’t do it because I get a paycheck every other Thursday. That’s not why. Because then you’re only happy on every other Thursday. I do it because I love it. And I think it never has been a money thing for me … I’ve taken jobs I’ve loved, and then I’ve asked, you know, for whatever I wanted.”
