Hoda Kotb is looking back on her time Today—yet, there are things she will—and—won’t miss ahead of her departure from the show.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday, Dec. 18, the broadcaster, 60, was asked an assortment of questions about her many years working on the series, including whether she would miss her daily 3:00 a.m. wake-up alarm.

"No, I will not miss that," she shared. "Sometimes I push it to 3:15 but it usually goes off at 3:00."

Host Seth Meyers knew one thing Kotb would certainly miss: eating at the NBC Commissary!

“I’ll tell you something about the NBC Commissary, I love the NBC Commissary,” the mother of two said. “In fact, my kids come to hang out or see me at work, the only thing they ask for is to go up to the ninth floor of the Commissary because it’s got a good spread.”

Meyers, 50, then joked, “Now be honest, would you have missed The Commissary 15 years ago?” To that, Kotb replied, “No, I would not.”

Meyers then mentioned that the fellow NBC staffer would also miss the gym since they are “gym buddies.”

“We love the gym,” Kotb said. “Seth walks in and he gets on that treadmill and are you listening to music, what are you doing?”

“No, I’m just having arguments with myself," Meyers replied before reenacting himself looking angry on the treadmill.

Later, when asked if she’ll miss being on air, especially during the holiday season, Kotb said she is looking forward to tuning in from the comfort of her home.

“I think so many of those things are beautiful but the last tree lighting that we just had that one sort of weirdly hit me,” she said. “It was like once we did the three, two, one and the tree lit up, I was thinking to myself, I looked around for a second."

"Now moments pass and you’re not in them, I was totally in it. I was like, ‘This is it right now,’” Kotb recalled before adding that she intends to still get her weather report from Al Roker.

Meyers also pointed out that Kotb would no longer have a reason for drinking wine before 10 am.

“Well, now it’s going to have to be evening drinking,” she joked. “The way most people do it.”

In September, Kotb announced she would be leaving the Today show after 17 years. Her last show is set to take place on Friday, Jan. 10, and Craig Melvin will step in as her replacement on Monday, Jan. 13.

Following the big news, Kotb had nothing but praise for Melvin, 45, as she told him on-air, "You are made for this job."

"You are literally made for this job. You are that kind of good," she added. "You have all the things that this job needs. You're the right person for it."
