Hoda Kotb Absent From Today During 'Hoda & Jenna' Anniversary Week

Hoda Kotb took a break from Today in the middle of celebrating five years of cohosting with Jenna Bush Hager.

Kotb and Bush Hager, 42, announced last month that they were taking their show to Louisiana to celebrate their cohosting milestone. “There’s only one place we could celebrate,” Bush Hager exclaimed during a March episode, to which Kotb added, “It’s the place where we have the most fun, where we are wild. We are wild when we go there.”

Bush Hager proceeded to gush over her colleague, saying, “It feels like it was yesterday, and it feels so profound to get to sit next to somebody that exudes joy no matter what you have going on. You greet me with a smile every single day, and I know it’s not always easy. In fact, it’s probably not easy at all. But you’re here and you sit next to me.”Bush took over the role of Kotb’s cohost in April 2019 when Kathie Lee Gifford stepped down after 11 years on the fourth hour of Today.
