Jamie Lee Curtis, a renowned figure, made a significant appearance on Today. She openly expressed her deep grief upon learning of Hoda Kotb's departure from the show. At 66 years old, Curtis couldn't bear the thought of this being the last time she'd be with Kotb on the set. "Say it ain't so, Hoda. I can't deal with it. I just can't deal with it," she said with a heavy heart.

Expressing Love and Gratitude

Reading a letter she had written for Kotb, Curtis shared poignant words. The note read, "Hoda. The long and winding road. Where you go, my hand in yours. Bravo." Kotb, also emotional, held back tears as she expressed her gratitude. She mentioned that the note sent in September had finally arrived, perhaps delayed due to her move.During the interview, Curtis revealed her conflicted feelings. "I'm a little sad, and yet I love you," she explained. She recalled hearing Kotb on the phone with her daughters every morning and emphasized Kotb's value. "You are an absolute treasure and we are all going to miss you here. I can't imagine this place without you."

Highlighting the Purple Connection

Curtis added a unique touch by noting the significance of the purple color they were both wearing. "Purple is a wound, so I have a wound today with you. We are both wearing purple." This symbolic gesture added another layer to their emotional exchange.As the interview progressed, Kotb and Curtis engaged in a discussion about Curtis' projects. From the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel to her other works, they covered various aspects. Towards the end, Curtis brought the focus back to Kotb.

Wishing Kotb Well

She expressed her sincere wishes, saying, "You have truly changed this place, this house, this group of people that love you. You are going off for all the right reasons, and you're going to take all of us with you. And whatever you do, do know that you have this family with you." Curtis continued, "You are a beautiful human being, and this show is better for you being on it. God bless you. Happy holidays, everyone. We're going to miss this one!"Once again, Kotb was overcome with emotions. Curtis took over the task of promoting her own projects, showing her care for Kotb. Today airs weekdays on NBC, and January 10, 2025, marks Kotb's last day as co-anchor. Their emotional farewell on the show will be remembered for a long time.
