During the Friday, Oct. 25 episode ofToday with Hoda & Jenna, Kotb shared that, while the thought of her leaving Today is “terrifying,” she feels exiting the show in the months to come is “exactly right.”“When those twinges come up, like, ‘Should you do it? Is it a mistake?’ … I remind myself that there’s still part of me that’s living right here,” she said. “And that’s normal. Like, let it be. So yeah, it’s scary. Yeah, it’s terrifying — it’s all those things … but it’s also exactly right.”
