Today: Hoda Kotb Officially Promoted to Co-Anchor, Joining Savannah Guthrie

Hoda Kotb is starting the new year with a new job: She has officially been promoted to Today co-anchor, alongside Savannah Guthrie, NBC announced Tuesday.

Kotb had been filling in at the anchor desk since Nov. 29, after Matt Lauer was fired following allegations of sexual misconduct. She will now permanently lead the 7 to 9 a.m. hours of Today with Guthrie, Al Roker and Carson Daly. She will also continue co-hosting the show’s 10 a.m. hour with Kathie Lee Gifford.

Guthrie began Tuesday’s installment of Today by announcing Kotb’s promotion: “We are kicking off the new year right, because Hoda is officially the co-anchor of Today. This has to be the most popular decision NBC News has ever made, and I am so thrilled… You are a partner and a friend and a sister, and I am so happy to be doing this.”
