After 26 yeras at NBC, Hoda Kotb's final episode on the Today show aired on Friday, January 10 - however viewers were left fuming over an unwanted interruption to the 'hoda-bration.'

The legendary anchor, 60, was presenting her last show she prepares to leave the program after nearly three decades at the network when the program cut to breaking news of Donald Trump.

Trump, 78, was officially sentenced in the New York hush money case involving porn star Stormy Daniels on Friday, with the news interrupting Kotb's last episode of Today on NBC.

Furious fans took to social media to share their outrage.

'Trump's sentencing interrupting hoda's last show i'm going to scream this is a new low,' one scathing post to X, formerly known as Twitter, read.

'Sorry… my final hodabration was interrupted by breaking news about TRUMP IM GOING TO GO CRAZY BRING BACK MY HODA AND JENNA,' agreed another.

'They cut into Hoda and Jenna (Hoda’s last show) to give an update about Trump’s sentencing and I’ve never seen a special report where they read so fast. I wonder if NBC News was like “get back to Hoda ASAP!!!”' complained another.

'Not NBC interrupting the Hoda-bration to talk about Trump sentencing.... Have some respect for my girl Hoda,' slammed someone else...

Is that a show they woke really like? I’ve never heard of it so it must be.

Who?

They devoded a whole week to her departure. This has got to be bogus.

I think the show was overjoyed she is leaving. It is not normal to carry on like that.

It’s NBC ... It’s woke

Too bad it didn’t disrupt the VIEW !

I stopped watching “Today” somewhere in the late 80s.

The show was enjoyable then.

I dunno maybe I make Luddites look modern. I did look it up. Good thing she has a great face for pouting.

I’d watch Good Morning America when Joan Lunden was on as she was a TV crush of mine back then, lol. It’s now been many years since I’ve bothered to watch morning news shows save for Fox and Friends every now and then.

Hoda Hears a Who!

Hoda? Hoodat?

[gundog]

Do NOT piss off the day-drinking soccer moms! When they added a third hour to TOADY, it was dominated by Hoda, Natalie( I think) and some other chick sitting around swirling wine in glasses, and getting properly soused.

Is this the same NBC that illegally released the tape in 2015? See Tuckers Billy Bush interview for what I’m talking about.

Good. As long as they left. That’s all that matters.

Never heard of it, her, whatever.

Don't you pay attention when you're in the checkout line? I think I saw this back a couple of months ago so I sort of know what she looks like but then again maybe I missed it as well......Anyway to quote Jeremy Clarkson

Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
