Hoda Stepping Back from the Today Show

I really enjoyed watching her interactions with the athletes at the Olympics.

That’s ok. Sometimes people want something light to watch with their coffee and bagels at 7 and 8 in the morning. Everything doesn’t have to be hard hitting journalism.

Good for her! She's had a great career. Hope she enjoys her next phase.

RIGHT?! In what world....

According to some brief googling - they average 2.8 viewers a day and 56 million unique digital users over a quarter. They get a lot of reach from tic toc clips, interviews embedded in articles etc. So I guess an awful lot of people still interact with the today show brand

No. I also find it annoying. It has been like that for years. I'm frankly surprised he can stay on a national program with that voice.

I haven’t watched it since I was a kid and daytime TV reminds me of being sick and home from school. So, it’s not for me but the show brings happiness to people and provides jobs.

Grumpy people will grump.

This. I haven't watched in decades, but she is a genuinely decent human (per people I know who've hung out with her and her mom away from the show) and that schedule is a grind. Congrats to her.

She is very fortunate that she can choose to make this decision. I'm sure lots of people would love to be able to stop working or cut back to be there for their family, but they don't have her financial resources to be able to do that. Kudos to her for making what was probably a difficult decision (walking away from a prestigious, well paying job).

It's not nice to admit, but I find her unattractive with an overbearing manner. Glad she's moving on.

I like Hoda a lot. I like that she isn't a sexpot but still attractive in both looks and personality. I think she seems to be the most real person on the show. Jenna and her have great chemistry.

I will miss her.

Right, I feel like it's always horse and so grating? Very annoying. Have to mute when he's on.

I thought the same thing. Gimme a break. Everyone was so affected and fake crying.

If I have money at 60. (I won't) there is no way I'll be working. I am 55 now with two kids in middle school and I am so dang tired.
