Hoda Kotb<\/a> may have left Today<\/a><\/em> in January, but she hasn\u2019t completely left the NBC family.<\/p>\n The Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade<\/a> returns for its milestone 99th year on Thursday, November 25. While the event will feature a variety of new floats and high-flying balloons, the hosting lineup will consist several familiar faces.<\/p>\n Ten months after her Today<\/em> exit<\/a>, Kotb will reunite with her former colleagues Savannah Guthrie<\/a> and Al Roker<\/a> to host this year\u2019s parade. Kotb made her parade hosting debut in November 2018 after replacing Matt Lauer<\/a> as Guthrie\u2019s Today<\/em> coanchor earlier that year.<\/p>\n Kotb announced that she would be stepping down<\/a> as a Today<\/em> host in September 2024, citing her 60th birthday and wanting to spend more time with her two daughters \u2014 Haley, 8, and Hope, 6 \u2014 as the main reasons for her decision.<\/p>\n The NBC morning show threw a \u201cHoda-bration\u201d in honor of her final episode on January 10, complete with special appearances from Kathie Lee Gifford<\/a>, Gayle King<\/a>, Jimmy Fallon<\/a>, and more, many emotional moments, and a special episode<\/a> of Today With Hoda & Jenna<\/em> filmed in Late Night with Seth Meyers<\/a><\/em>\u2018 Studio 8G at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.<\/p>\n
