Dylan Dreyer Reacts to Hoda Kotb’s ‘TODAY’ Show Exit & Shares Who Could Replace Her
Hoda Kotb’s decision to leave the Today show caught many by surprise—including her colleague Dylan Dreyer.
The meteorologist revealed she was unaware of Hoda’s plans to exit the morning show until moments before the announcement was made on-air.
“I knew about 10 minutes before the show started,” Dylan exclusively told E! News cohost Keltie Knight on the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards red carpet Sept. 26. “Which, I think, is when everybody kind of found out.”
Earlier that day, Hoda shocked viewers when she tearfully announced that after more than 16 years at Today—and 26 years with NBC News—she would say goodbye to her co-anchor role in early 2025.
“I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60, and to try something new,” Hoda, who turned 60 in August, said through tears. “I remembered standing outside looking at these beautiful bunch of people with these gorgeous signs, and I thought, ‘This is what the top of the wave feels like for me.’ And I thought it can’t get better, and I decided that this is the right time for me to kind of move on.”
