‘Today Show' host Hoda Kotb is going on a book tour. Get tickets today
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Hoda Kotb is hitting the ground running. Before retiring from NBC's flagship 'Today Show' this past May, the longtime host announced her seventh book 'Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life.' And, now, less than two months post-host gig, the 60-year-old anchor shared that she's going on a six-city tour to promote her literary effort that hits shelves on Sept. 23, 2025. That includes gigs in Charleston, SC (Sept. 20), Chicago, IL (Sept. 21) and New Orleans, LA (Sept. 26). At all shows, Kotb will share excerpts from 'Jump and Find Joy,' which is described as an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. 'It's filled with stories, inspiration, and little reminders to embrace the moment and choose joy—every single day,' she shared on her website. 'I can't wait for you to read it.' She also worked 'advice from change experts and deeply personal stories' from both celebrities and 'inspirational people in our own communities'' into the text, according to a description from Penguin Random House. Those who attend will be treated to a signed copy of the book. For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Hoda Kotb's 'Jump and Find Joy' book tour. Hoda Kotb tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. About 'Jump and Find Joy' Here is Amazon's official synopsis of Kotb's 'Jump and Find Joy': Hoda Kotb didn't expect to join the Today show at age forty-four. Or to become a mother at fifty-two. Or to leave Today and embark on a new adventure at sixty! Change doesn't always arrive when we expect it, and its effects are anything but predictable. But Hoda believes that the benefits of change can be extraordinary…if we're willing to listen to and learn from them. In the tradition of books like Savannah Guthrie's Mostly What God Does and Maria Shriver's I've Been Thinking comes Hoda Kotb's Jump and Find Joy—an intimate book that reveals for the first time what Hoda discovered as she started embracing change in every aspect of her life. In her quest to better understand change and how to work with (not against) it, Hoda relies on her reporting instincts to investigate HOW change works, WHO is approaching it with grace, and WHAT she can apply to her own life and share with others. Jump and Find Joy combines the wisdom of change experts, insights from the latest work on resilience, and deeply personal stories from celebrities and inspirational people in our own communities. From small shifts in daily routines to major leaps of faith, Hoda shows why change isn't to be feared but celebrated…and how each of us can thrive in the midst of changes we'll inevitably face ourselves. You can pre-order 'Jump and Find Joy' here. Hoda Kotb books Ahead of 'Jump and Find Joy,' Kotb released six books. Here's a bit about each of them: Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee Hoda's New York Times best-selling autobiography. Ten Years Later: Six People Who Faced Adversity and Transformed Their Lives Six stories about people that changed their lives…ten years after they made the adjustment. Where We Belong: Journeys That Show Us The Way A number of stories about inspiring people who unexpectedly 'found themselves.' I've Loved You Since Forever Kotb's first children's book; it's a testament to the timeless love between parent and child. You Are My Happy A second children's book; this one celebrates gratitude in life. I Really Needed This Today An inspiring collection of quotes that offer wisdom, courage, and hope.

Carson Daly makes sarcastic comment about Hoda Kotb's exit on Today Show
Carson Daly had an apparent slip up on the Today Show this week while making the transition to a new story. As the morning show transitioned from a piece by Savannah Guthrie to talking about Hoda Kotb 's podcast Making Space, Carson seemed a bit confused. Carson, 52, sat down to introduce the Pop Start news segment in the second hour of Today, joined by Craig Melvin, Dylan Dreyer and Laura Jarrett. Daly then transitioned to introducing former Today host Hoda Kotb's, 60, podcast, acting like he thought she was going to be on set. 'Hoda's not here, I don't know where she is,' he said as his co-stars laughed. 'I think she's on vacation still,' he sarcastically added. Laura was the first to tease Carson, saying Hoda was still 'making space.' Carson sarcastically quipped, 'She's making space, she's made a lot of space Laura.' Hoda stepped down from her role at Today in January after 17 years on the show. After Hoda announced she was leaving Today, Carson gave some long and hard thought to the future of his television career. 'Wow, I cannot wait to get off television!' the father-of-four revealed. 'I still see Jay Leno on TV and I'm like, "why?" No, I am... I am looking to cut back.' He continued, 'I lost my dad when I was five, so my time with my kids is the most precious. 'That's what I think about Hoda, I'm happy for her, she's gonna get more time. Walking your kids to school is way more important,' Daly added. Kotb's decision to leave her role at Today was in order to spend more time with her daughters Haley, seven, and Hope, four. When asked about the close-knit, family-type bond the hosts share at the Today show, Daly said: 'There's a saying that goes, "you can't fake the funk", and I think people ask me about The Voice on NBC, they ask me all the time - when we find our coaches - "how do you find the right coaching panel for chemistry?" Carson, 52, sat down to introduce the Pop Start news segment in the second hour of Today, joined by Craig Melvin, Dylan Dreyer and Laura Jarrett 'Chemistry is an impossible thing to cast, and when you have it and when you get it, it's really the most beautiful thing. 'And what you see on the Today show is an undeniable family chemistry that is just organic. 'God made it that way for this time and all of our lives to be working together and that's the simple answer,' he continued. 'You can't manufacture getting up at five in the morning and actually loving the person that you're sitting next to. We all have a relationship outside of this show and I think it comes off on air, but you can't fake that,' Daly added. The TV host has been fronting The Voice since 2011 and joined Today as a social media correspondent in 2013, with his role increasing in subsequent years as he became a co-host. Daly shares his 16-year-old son Jackson and his three daughters Etta, 12, London, 10, and five-year-old Goldie with his wife of 10 years Siri Pinter. Last year, Daly said during an interview with People that it felt 'crazy' to have a child who was starting to learn how to drive. 'My teenager is 15. He's starting to drive, so that's been kind of crazy. I have a pickup truck, so he drives my truck. It's going great. He's a really good driver,' he revealed. Daly also revealed to the publication how sleeping in a separate bed from his wife Siri has helped them 'stay together.' He had previously confirmed in 2022 that he and Siri had given 'sleep divorcing' a try, which basically means that spend multiple nights a week sleeping in different bedrooms. The couple entered into the sleeping plan when they decided to do 'whatever it takes' to make their marriage last the test of time. 'The object is to stay together. That's what we'd like to do,' he explained. 'And so reverse engineering that, it's like — by any means necessary, for the two of us, [we want to] still be in a relationship when we're dying. 'It's been good for us. We don't do it all the time, but a couple of days during the week - especially if I want to watch an Islanders hockey game kind of later at night - I go into the guest room, she retires upstairs to read her book or watch a show,' he shared.

Hoda Kotb sparks frenzied speculation that she reunited with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman after gushing tribute
Hoda Kotb has ignited frenzied speculation that she has reunited with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman after she posted a sweet tribute to him on Father's Day. In a heartfelt upload, the former Today show co-anchor, 60, heaped praise on the financier, with whom she shares adopted daughters Haley, nine, and Hope, five. Taking to social media on Monday, Hoda uploaded two sweet photos, one of which saw the two little girls hugging dad Joel. Another snap showed the dad-of-two walking hand in hand with on of their daughters while on a shopping trip. 'A great father's day for a great dad!' Hoda captioned her Instagram post. 'Happy father's day Joel!' In the comments, some speculated whether Hoda and Joel might have rekindled their relationship. 'Are they back together?' asked one. 'He sure is a great dad!' another said. 'How I wish you were still with Joel!' A third wrote: 'She is on and off with this guy.' Others, however, praised the former couple for coparenting their kids harmoniously. 'Those two girls are blessed to have such loving and involved parents,' said one. 'Aww, love seeing Joel! Happy Father's Day!' another said. 'He's a great dad!' exclaimed a third. 'Wish you guys were still together.' A fourth praised: 'You both are rocking this co-parenting gig.' has reached out to Hoda for comment. While Hoda and Joel are no longer in a romantic relationship, they continue to co-parent their two girls and are often together during holiday celebrations, such as Christmas Day and Thanksgiving. New wellness guru Hoda was previously in an eight-year relationship with New York financier Joel, but the couple decided to part ways at the beginning of 2022. They had begun their relationship in 2013 and in November 2019, Hoda announced live on Today that they were engaged. In January 31, 2022, however, she revealed on Today with Hoda & Jenna that she and Joel had decided to end their engagement and would focus on co-parenting as friends. 'Joel and I have had a lot of prayer and meaningful conversations over the holidays and we decided that we are better as friends and parents than we are as an engaged couple,' the talk show host said at the time. 'So, we decided we are going to start this new year on our new path as loving parents to our adorably delightful children and as friends. 'It's not like something happened. They say sometimes relationships are meant to be there for a reason, a season or a lifetime, this was for a season.' Last month, Hoda revealed her youngest daughter Hope has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, two years after she was rushed to hospital. Returning to the Today show, she opened up about her daughter's diagnosis for the first time to Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin and explained that she's 'constantly monitoring' her child. 'Hope is fine for most of the day. There are just moments where you have to watch her,' she explained. 'I was totaling it up — five minutes at breakfast, five minutes at lunch, five minutes at dinner, sometimes overnight. Add that up, that's a half-hour. So, for 23 and a half hours, she's every other kid, so I try to remember that.' While spending more time with her daughters was the main reason she left the Today show, Hope's condition 'definitely weighed in' on her exit. 'As anyone with a child who has Type 1 (knows), especially a little kid, you're constantly watching, you're constantly monitoring, you're constantly checking, which is what I did all the time when I was [at Today],' she said. 'You're distracted. You just get a priority check in your life. 'I can be here and sweating what's happening to Hope in the morning and in the night, or I can be there and feel relief that I can see.' Hope's health issues began over two years ago. In February 2023, Hoda took two weeks off from the Today show due to a 'family health matter,' she shared at the time. She later revealed that her youngest daughter had been hospitalized due to a sudden, unspecified illness. Hope, who was four at the time, spent several days in the intensive care unit and a little over a week in the hospital. Speaking to Savannah on the show at the time, Hoda said: 'My youngest Hope was in the ICU for a few days and then the hospital for a little more than a week. 'I'm so grateful she is home, she is back home. I was waiting for that day to come. And we are watching her closely. I'm just so happy.'

Savannah Guthrie's stark response after interviewer asked bold question about her looks divides internet
Savannah Guthrie said she didn't know what veneers were after a reporter boldly asked whether she had them during an uncomfortable appearance on a red carpet. The 53-year-old NBC Today host had been out celebrating the launch of her former colleague Hoda Kotb 's new wellness brand, Joy 101, at Current at Chelsea Piers last month when she was bizarrely asked about her teeth. During a toe-curling interview with Parade Magazine, Guthrie seemed to be playing a game on the red carpet where she blindly chose questions that were written on folded pieces of paper to answer. But when one contained an inquiry about her appearance, things turned awkward, eventually leading to Guthrie walking away abruptly. A video of the tense moment has since gone viral on TikTok, dividing the internet. In the clip, Guthrie read the question aloud, which said: 'Do you have veneers?' 'What is that, like braces?' Guthrie responded, appearing dumbfounded. 'The teeth,' the reporter helped. 'Well, I did Invisalign,' Guthrie replied. 'Is that what that means? What are veneers?' The reporter quipped: 'You would know if you had it.' 'OK, I guess no,' Guthrie continued. 'No, I don't have veneers. I probably need them, whatever they are.' 'No, your teeth are perfect,' the reporter observed. Guthrie quickly ended the interview after that, telling the journalist: 'I'm going to get veneers. I gotta go, getting veneers.' Viewers were split over the bizarre question, as well as Guthrie's response - with some doubting Guthrie's lack of knowledge about veneers. Others criticized the interviewer for daring to ask such a personal inquiry, which they deemed as rude. Taking to the comments, one said: 'Why are people so rude to Savannah? OMG just let her be human, it's literally not hard to be nice!' Another wrote: 'She's a journalist and doesn't know what veneers are?' 'She knows what they are, give me a break,' a third penned. 'Oh come on,' added a fourth. In dentistry, a veneer is a layer of material placed over a tooth. Veneers can improve the aesthetics and function of a smile and protect the tooth's surface from damage. While Guthrie hasn't had veneers, she has had treatment for her vision three times. In 2021, she underwent her last surgery to re-attach her retina after her son threw a toy train at her eye two years prior. Speaking to People at the time, she said: 'My eye is good. The short answer is that it's good, and I think I've had my last surgery. I really do. 'And I'm seeing well, and I just actually got a prescription for eyeglasses, which I haven't been able to wear [yet]. So, I'm super excited to wear glasses. 'And I kind of can't believe that this all took so long, but honestly since the surgery I had last summer after the pandemic, my eyesight's been dramatically better.' She previously underwent surgery to re-attach the retina in her eye in November 2019, shortly after the accident left her with blurry vision. But the surgery didn't fix Guthrie's sight issues and and she had developed cataracts by July 2020. In April 2021, she sought medical attention again. Guthrie shares daughter Vale, 10, and son Charley, eight, with husband Michael Feldman.
