“Hoda’s just announced she’s leaving and my heart was broken, and yet it will go on,” Bush Hager told TODAY.com. Since this would be Kotb's last TODAY Halloween extravaganza, she looked back on her different costumes throughout the years.
“I’ve played all these weird characters over the years. I played Yoda. I was Cher, I was an acrobat, I was Elton (John) — which my kids still are scared of. So, I thought, ‘What should I be?’ Something beautiful, flowy. Then I said, ‘No, I’m going to be Jack from “Titanic,”’ she told TODAY's website.
“I think it’s a great way to go out," she added. "Jenna and I hugging each other.”
