NBC kicked off 2018 on Mystery ArchivesTuesday morning by officially naming Hoda Kotb as cohost of the popular Todayshow alongside Savannah Guthrie, the first time two women have co-anchored NBC's flagship morning show.
Kotb, who has 30 years of experience in television news, replaces Matt Lauer who was fired in November 2017 after numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.

"You are a partner and a friend and a sister, " Guthrie added, "And I am so happy to be doing this."
Kotb responded warmly to Guthrie, saying: "Well, there's no one I'd rather be sitting next to in 2018 than you."
NBC News chairman Andy Lack announced the move just moments before the show went live on Tuesday, saying in a statement: "Over the past several weeks, Hoda has seamlessly stepped into the co-anchor role alongside Savannah, and the two have quickly hit the ground running. They haven an undeniable connection with each other and most importantly, with viewers, a hallmark of Today."
Kotb first joined Todayin 2007 as the co-anchor of the show's fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford. She'll continue those duties while adding the first two hours of Today, from 7 a.m. ET to 9 a.m. ET, to her schedule. (Today's third hour is currently hosted by Megyn Kelly.)
The Todayshow fam have been celebrating the news throughout the morning, sharing their joy on Twitter.
