The 'TODAY' co-host was back at the desk after missing the past two weeks due to her daughter Hope's hospitalization.

Viewers of the TODAY show have been missing their beloved co-host Hoda Kotb, with many wondering the reason behind her two-week absence.

After Savannah Guthrie tested positive for COVID last week, most were certain that Kotb was in the same boat.


However, upon her return to the morning show on Monday, Kotb revealed her 3-year-old daughter Hope was hospitalized for more than a week.

Kotb emotionally explained to viewers:

"My youngest, Hope, was in the ICU for a few days and in the hospital for a little more than a week. I'm so grateful she's home."
"We are watching her closely. I am just so happy."

On the verge of tears, she continued, sharing her gratitude to all:

"You know what I realized, Savannah?"
"When your child is ill, the amount of gratitude you can have for people who helped you out. So I'm grateful for the doctors at Cornell, who are amazing, and the nurses, and I'm grateful to family, and I'm grateful to friends like you, who were there every single day."

She finished:

"So I want to thank you for that."
"I love you."

Viewers and colleagues sent their love to the host—along with well wishes for Hope—and shared their excitement for Kotb's return.









Later on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Kotb opened up the situation again in greater detail, telling co-host Jenna Bush Hager and their viewers:

"I'm over the moon that she's home."

We, too, are happy to have Kotb back, and we're glad to hear Hope is home and doing better.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

Melania Trump Dragged After Sharing Bizarre AI 'Teleportation' Video

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
