Well, folks, we now know what Hoda Kotb is up to post-leaving the Today show!
The former NBC host made her grand exit from the daytime series back in January, and she has continually teased some major projects that are in the works. Well, she just dropped major news about her next project — and it comes in the form of writing a brand-new book!
In an announcement made on the Today show on March 10, Hoda shared her plans to publish her latest work, titled Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life. Set to be published on September 23, 2025, fans can pre-order the title now.
"@hodakotb’s new book, Jump and Find Joy is about being afraid to do something and doing it anyway, and is available for presale now!" read the caption for the clip shared on the Today show's official Instagram.
When fans learned about Hoda's next venture in the world of media, they couldn't stop congratulating her online.
"Love this! Gotta get your book!!" one person wrote in the comments. "Love this concept! I can tell this is gonna be a special book … can't wait until September!" another agreed. "❤️ so inspiring," a different follower added.
We're so excited to see what Hoda is up to next! As for what Jump and Find Joy is about, the publisher's website describes it as Hoda's "most personal, ambitious" work yet. Additionally, the title is described as "a guide to dealing with change and upheaval — even (and perhaps especially) when it's unexpected." And if that wasn't enough, Hoda is using the book to sample stories from some of her favorite people in the world.
"I was thinking of a book, and the idea of 'jump' kind of hit me," she stated in the clip from the Today show. "So, I started thinking about different people who I've loved and respected, who've been afraid to do something and have done it."
Congrats, Hoda!
