Hoda Kotb is taking over the Today show. Recently, NBC announced Kotb will replace Matt Lauer as the series’ new co-anchor.

In November, NBC fired Lauer over reports of behavioral misconduct. In his place, Kotb will host the show’s 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. hours in addition to her co-hosting duties with Kathie Lee Gifford during the 10 a.m. slot.

Kotb told E! News Lauer had only kind words to say about her new job:

“He was sweet this morning. Certain texts popped up, and there was one from Matt: ‘Congratulations!’ And he said some nice words.”
