Melvin teased Kotb’s comeback as he signed off.

Kotb’s ‘TODAY’ Return Will Be Temporary
Savannah Guthrie noted ‘it will be good to catch up’ with her former co-host. MEGA
The TODAY co-host explained: “No, no, not for good. You’re still stuck with me. But, Hoda will be here to talk about a really special project, her new book, Jump and Find Joy.
“It’s all about embracing change in every season of life. She’s gonna be here to talk about it tomorrow.”
Kotb’s former co-host Savannah Guthrie added: “It will be good to catch up with Hoda.”
According to a synopsis of Kotb’s new book, Jump and Find Joy is an “intimate” look at how the mother-of-two’s life was impacted when she started embracing change instead of resisting it.
Jump and Find Joy‘s synopsis stated: “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.”
Why Did She Leave?
As RadarOnline.com reported, Kotb shocked fans when she announced her own life-changing decision to leave the TODAY show after 17 years in January.
At the time, Kotb cited wanting to spend more time with her twin daughters, Hope and Haley, as her reason for leaving.
Kotb recently shared a touching moment with her daughters, which she claimed validated her exit during an interview with Kristen Welker.
Kotb’s return will be temporary to promote her new book on embracing change, ‘Jump and Find Joy.’MEGA
She said: “For 26 years, I did similar things every single day. And one day, Kristen, in January, I woke up and my alarm didn’t go off at 3:30 A.M.
“I went downstairs to my office, and Haley ran down and she looked at me and said at 5 A.M., ‘You really are here.’
“And I think in that tiny moment I was like this decision was right on so many levels.”
