The 2026 Winter Olympics have begun on NBC and, with that, the network has lined up a robust roster of hosts and commentators to cover the proceedings (which are also streamable with a Peacock subscription). One media personality who’d been tapped to take part was former Today Show host Hoda Kotb, though she’s now dropped out. Kotb reportedly opted not to take part due to the ongoing search for former co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother. With that, Kotb’s replacement has officially been named.
