Hoda Kotb got a warm welcome on the Tuesday, September 9, episode of Today. Kotb returned to the NBC morning show to highlight NYC gym teacher Reyes Andon, who won the 2025 Nycps Big Apple Physical Education Award for having his students take a hands-on approach during class. Kotb and her Today colleagues also surprised Andon and his students with a large check and plenty of sports supplies live on the 30 Rockefeller Center plaza. After the segment, Kotb joined her former cohosts inside Today‘s Studio 1A. “Everything’s great. My kids are in 3rd grade and 1st grade. I now wake up at 5:30 [a.m.],” she shared in an update about her life post-Today.
