Hoda Kotb will be leaving The Today Show in January 2025. Fans have been showing their sadness at her departure, although they also seem happy she will get more time with her kids. However, fans are also wondering who will replace her with several options. Now, many have come up with the perfect choice.

Here is who many fans think should replace Hoda on Today.

Fans Have Idea On Hoda Kotb Replacement On Today

There are a few ideas on who could replace Hoda Kotb on Today. The big option that everyone on the network is talking about is Laura Jarrett. However, there are other choices like Halle Jackson, Jacob Soboroff, and Tom Llamas. There are some fans who want someone new brought in.

Much like how Good Morning America signed former NFL star Michael Strahan to be a co-host, there are Today fans who are thinking outside the box as well. After Snoop Dogg was announced as a guest on Thursday’s episode of Today, many fans decided that he should be who replaces Hoda as the new host of the show (via Instagram).

  • “Well, now that Hoda is leaving the show, her only [replacement] can be Snoop”
  • “Hoda & Snoop = ICONIC”
  • “This is going to be so good!!”

For now, Snoop Dogg is just coming onto the show as a guest host, but who knows what the future could bring.

Hoda Kotb Says Time Is Right To Leave Today

There are many rumors about the real reason Hoda Kotb is leaving Today. However, all that Hoda has said is that she is leaving because it is time for her to spend more family time with her kids.

According to Hoda, it isn’t about feuding with her co-hosts or being forced to take a pay cut, although there are rumors both of those things played into the decision. Instead, Hoda said, “I was like, they need a little more of me, and I need more of them, so I think it’s all gonna work out beautifully.”

She also said she isn’t leaving NBC. Hoda is only leaving Today. From the sound of it, she will still be doing specials, and the main rumor is that she will do more serious primetime interviews with people, similar to what Barbara Walters did in the past.

There are also rumors that Savannah Guthrie wanted to plan her exit strategy as well, but Hoda’s announcement threw a wrench into that. There are sources who say that NBC does not want to lose Savannah, though.

What would you think if someone like Snoop Dogg joined Today as one of its hosts? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

  3. Snoop Dog… Really!!!
    Chose. a host from that will “MESH” with
    Jenna!
    It’s a great morning show and the new host needs to bring HER “specialities” to the show and together… the show continues to be a great morning success!
    I’ve loved their differences and each host had her own opinion and with that… they worked well together! I’ve watched the TODAY Show since I was very young and would watch it as I dressed for school in the mornings!
    Each time changes occurred with the Today Hosts… everyone had doubts especially with the Matt Lauer fiasco but it worked out! No one is irreplaceable! Today continued without Lauer as will the “Third Hour” will continue without Hoda but I do hope the
    “Replacement” will continue with Jenna and become a great partner with her (I hope it’s another female) and they continue to be a great morning show especially for “retired ladies” like me! Truly hate to see Hoda leave because they’ve been great together and they each complimented the other!!!
    Find another lady that has her own uniqueness and will mesh with Jenna!
    That’s a MUST!!!!

    Thank you from Amber Smith in
