Hoda Kotb is no longer an early riser!

On Sunday, Jan. 12, Kotb, 60, posted a screenshot on Instagram of her morning alarms turned off following her departure from Today after 17 years.

“No alarm … whaaaaaaaattttt???” the former co-anchor wrote in the caption after exiting the show on Friday, Jan. 10.

The screenshot showed “No alarm” written at the top for the next morning and three alarms previously set from 3:00 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. every day with the button off on each — revealing Kotb’s old wake-up call times for the NBC morning show.

Kotb offered words of support to her former colleagues Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, who is replacing her on the show, ahead of the Jan. 13 episode in an earlier joint post shared by the trio on Instagram.

“Wake up in the morning … and knock ‘em dead @savannahguthrie @craigmelvinnbc xxx,” Kotb wrote in the caption, adding, “I am rooting for you ❤️❤️.”

Alongside Kotb’s message was a photo of Guthrie, 53, and Melvin, 45, posing together inside a room at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., while on location filming for Today.

Guthrie responded to Kotb in the comment section, “We love you so — in our hearts forever."
