When Hoda Kotb<\/strong> left<\/a> the Today<\/i>\u00a0show in January, she said<\/a> she wanted to \u201ctry something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

Less than a year later, she\u2019s desperate to come back to her old job, sources exclusively tell Star<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The journalist, 61, released a wellness platform and app, Joy 101<\/a>, since her exit, but \u201cdownloads are flat\u201d and the brand\u2019s retreat weekends \u201caren\u2019t selling,\u201d an industry veteran tells Star<\/em>. \u201cHoda\u2019s realizing she\u2019s shouting into the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans haven\u2019t flocked to her new project, agrees an NBC insider: \u201cIn TV, once you leave, you\u2019re quickly forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mother of two \u2014 who released a new book, Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life<\/em> on Tuesday, September 23 \u2014 is also missing her former Today<\/em> team.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s smart and talented,\u201d says a former staffer. \u201cBut the truth is she also had an army. And that army works for NBC, not Hoda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Kotb, the show has gone on without her. Her recent guest appearance<\/a> didn\u2019t move the ratings needle, says the NBC insider, and more importantly, Today<\/em> star Savannah Guthrie<\/strong>, 53, is not so anxious to welcome her back.<\/p>\n

\u201cSavannah likes being the boss and Hoda\u2019s popularity always bothered her,\u201d says the NBC insider. Cohost Craig Melvin<\/strong> \u201cisn\u2019t a threat, but Hoda is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
