Hoda Kotb is gearing up for a huge moment in her career as she leaves the Today show in a matter of days.
The adored host is moving on to new pastures after announcing her departure in September.
But fans are eager to know what her plans are after January 10 when Craig Melvin will take her place.
Hoda said she was ready for a new chapter after nearly 30 years with NBC and told her co-hosts: "I just turned 60, and it was such a monumental moment for me when I turned 60 years old because I started thinking about that decade, like, what does that decade mean? What does it hold? What's it gonna have for me?" she said on-air.
"And I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and to try something new."
Is Hoda retiring for good?
Viewers were crushed when Hoda shared her news, but her "try something new," comment instilled them with hope that this wasn't the last they'd see of the TV personality and podcaster.

Hoda's exit announcement suggested she would stay "in the NBC" family for her next venture. However, she didn't elaborate on what that meant.
There's no doubt after almost three decades with the network, it'll be challenging to walk away for good.

Hoda revealed her hopes of moving into a new segment during a conversation on Today with Hoda and Jenna in October.
She told her co-host Jenna Bush Hager: "I don’t know if you've ever had a yearning, a calling, a desire, and you can't quit it, even if you try, because working at NBC is safer.

"I tried different things and I noticed my body was calmer. I was getting sick less. I was feeling better. I was a better parent, a better friend, a better sister, a better daughter. And I thought, all these tiny things I was doing day after day were helping to change me inside.
"What I want to do is I want to live in wellness. I want to work in that space. I want to start things. I've got things that are percolating inside that I'm gonna, hopefully, have fully formed soon."
Family time
One of the biggest reasons for stepping back from Today, is to be with her daughters, Haley and Hope.

She's already moved away from the city to the suburbs and is loving her new pace of life.
