AI Summary
This resolution commends Hoda Kotb, a prominent journalist and long-time co-anchor of NBC's Today show, on the occasion of her retirement in 2025. The resolution highlights Kotb's significant career achievements, including her journey from being born to Egyptian immigrants in Oklahoma to becoming a nationally recognized television personality. It details her educational background at Virginia Tech, her early career in local news, and her rise to prominence at NBC News, where she became a co-host of the Today show's fourth hour alongside Kathie Lee Gifford and later Jenna Bush Hager. The resolution specifically celebrates her groundbreaking achievement of becoming part of the first all-female anchor duo with Savannah Guthrie in 2018 and acknowledges her personal advocacy for breast cancer awareness, drawing from her own experience with the disease. It also recognizes her numerous professional awards, including Daytime Emmy Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Award. The resolution formally commends Kotb's contributions to journalism and instructs the Senate Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to her as a testament to her excellence in television news programming.
