Cynthia Erivo is giving Hoda Kotb her flowers. The “Wicked” star stopped by the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 28 and gave the “Today” show host a stunning bouquet of flowers to commemorate her last time hosting the iconic parade on NBC.

 The NBC News personality will replace Hoda Kotb as co-anchor of “TODAY,” alongside Savannah Guthrie in 2025. “We want to highlight folks and things that give us hope,” Melvin said. 

Kotb recently announced that she would leave the “TODAY” show in early 2025.

Today’s Dylan Dreyer exclusively told E! News who might replace Hoda Kotb — who announced her departure on Sept. 26 — while attending the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards at the Grand Ole Opry House.

Co-anchor Hoda Kotb said that due to the time difference between the U.S. and Paris, “this is our dream schedule right now.”
