Hoda Kotb Makes It Big Time
On Thursday, October 6, Forbes released its “50 Over 50” list. TODAY co-anchor Hoda Kotb made it onto the list for her role in the media. Before she joined TODAY, only men had anchored the show in its 70-year history. She told Forbes that she didn’t see 50-year-old women as anchors. There hadn’t been anchors that looked like her in the past. But when she accepted the role alongside Savannah Guthrie, she made history.
Hoda’s co-host, Savannah, is the one who nominated her to be included on the list. Savannah revealed to the magazine why she nominated her co-anchor and said that she is “profoundly inspiring to women everywhere.”
She continued, “Hoda is the living, breathing demonstration that you can have it all, and you can have it on your own terms.”
The list features a total of 200 influential women over the age of 50 and is split into four different categories, including Lifestyle, Impact, Money, and Entrepreneurs. Forbes is recognizing the women who pursued careers later in life and who have been successful in doing so. This is the second annual “50 Over 50” list released by Forbes.
Kris Jenner (Keeping Up With the Kardashians, The Kardashians) is also on the list.
TODAY Host Shares More About This Time In Her Life
The TODAY anchor told Forbes more about her career and revealed that she’s content where she’s at. She said, “I have never, ever in my life been this happy. This decade of my life is by far the best decade I have ever had.”
Hoda Kotb also said, “Some people get all their blessings in their 20s, some people get them in their 30s or 40s, and some people get them in their 50s or 60s or 70s.”
She stated that she is “right on time” and doesn’t need to follow anyone else’s timeline.
