Hoda Kotb says she won?t be making the same salary as Matt Lauer did. NBC announced on Tuesday that Kotb would replace Lauer as the co-anchor of the ?Today? show after the former co-anchor was accused of sexual misconduct. Kotb will join Savannah Guthrie to lead the first two hours of the program -- marking the first time two females have co-anchored that segment. Kotb told People Magazine, "I really have done jobs I liked for the job I liked because I never wanted to be happy every other Friday on pay day. Like, I didn?t want that to be the happy day. I wanted to feel good throughout. So no, I?m not making Matt Lauer money. Not even close.? Page Six reports that she and Guthrie each make $7 million annually. Lauer ended his 25-year career at the network with a $25 million contract.
