On Friday, Kotb's daughters joined their mom for a special surprise as the journalist rounded out her last Today broadcast.
Toward the end of the 8 a.m. hour, the family of three sat together in the studio while Kermit the Frog came out, serenading them by singing "Rainbow Connection," which is also the song Kotb sings to her daughters every night before bed.
As she listened to the song, Kotb got emotional, mouthing, "Oh my God." At the end, all the Today anchors joined in to help sing the iconic tune.
Hope and Haley were also seen outside with their mom at the end of the 8 a.m. hour, standing on the Plaza as Kotb shared her final goodbye.
This past Christmas, Kotb shared a series of photos on Instagram, offering a glimpse of her holiday celebrations with her two daughters, as well as ex Joel Schiffman, in her new house in New York’s Westchester County.
In the first photo, Kotb got a sweet kiss on the cheek from Haley in front of the Christmas tree as she snapped a selfie with both of her girls. She also included a photo of her mom and sister, wearing matching pajamas with her daughters.
A third photo showed Kotb and Schiffman with their two daughters, posing together in the living room. "Merry Christmas🎄🎄," Kotb wrote in her caption.
