Hoda Kotb has been keeping busy ever since she left the Today show earlier this year ... and it looks like her schedule is about to get a lot more hectic this fall.
Amid the launch of her Joy 101 app and other creative pursuits, fans of the TV host know she's releasing her book Jump and Find Joy on September 23, 2025. But are there plans for Hoda to promote the book outside of its debut? You bet she has some ideas, as she went on Instagram to share she's embarking on a book tour this fall. And if that's not enough, she revealed there are already a few cities she's excited to visit and meet some of her most loyal fans while there.
"Hey, guys," she stated in a clip uploaded on July 14. "I'm excited about my book tour that's coming up in the fall. So I thought, let's talk about it. The book is Jump and Find Joy and it's all about repotting, restarting, trying again, doing something new, doing something scary ... So, I am going on a tour, a big one, in September."
"I'm going to begin in Charleston, South Carolina," she added. "Then I'm going to Chicago and then I'm going to Greenwich and then Winston-Salem and then my beloved New Orleans and then I'm going to Eastchester, New York. Did I memorize it? No, I have a bad cheat sheet with my scraggly writing ... Come, so we can visit! We can talk about next chapters and starting over and all that kind of stuff."
Given how fans are excited about Hoda's latest career move, this new addition to her busy work schedule had them in a frenzy.
"Got my book preordered! Can’t wait!" one person wrote in the comments. "Yayyy!!! So excited!!" another exclaimed. "YAY!!! Congrats!!!!!! Xoxoxo," a different follower added.
Now, let's not forget that this isn't the only thing Hoda has to celebrate. She recently got nominated for a 2025 Daytime Emmy Award alongside Jenna Bush Hager for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host, as her former show Today With Hoda & Jenna was recognized for the ceremony.
We're certainly excited for everything Hoda has in store!
