The Today team is saying goodbye to Kathie Lee Gifford, who announced on Tuesday morning she is set to leave the morning show.
Savannah Guthrie, who co-anchors the show with Kotb, called Gifford “a true pro, a true legend, a true friend”.
When she exits the show for good, her run will have totalled 11 years.
Gifford, a fixture of Today’s fourth hour, will remain a part of the NBC programme until 7 April, 2019, her next work anniversary, the network explained.
