It took the whole of December, but NBC has finally named a new Today host to replace Matt Lauer. Hoda Kotb will permanently take over the co-hosting slot alongside Savannah Guthrie, having filled in for Lauer after the disgraced anchor was let go over sexual harassment charges.
Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb announced on the Today Show that Matt Lauer has been terminated citing "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace."
