Hoda Kotb Turns off Morning Alarm After Today Exit as She Tells Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin ‘I’m Rooting for You’

Hoda Kotb is no longer an early riser!

On Sunday, January 12, Kotb, 60, posted on Instagram a screenshot of her morning alarms turned off after her departure from Today after 17 years.

“No alarm… whataaaaaaatttt???” the former co-host wrote in the caption after leaving the show on Friday, January 10.

The screenshot shows “No Alarm” written across the top for the next morning and three alarms previously set from 3:00 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. each day with an off button on each — revealing Kotb’s old days of waking up for the NBC morning show.

Kotb offered words of support to her former co-stars Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin, who is replacing her on the show, ahead of the Jan. 13 episode in an earlier joint post the trio shared on Instagram.
