‘Olympic mom’ Hoda Kotb gets surprised by Simone Biles on anchor’s final Today show

It’s been quite an emotional day on the Today show with Hoda Kotb on her last day

And one of the surprise guests celebrating the longtime co-anchor was … Simone Biles!

At the end, Biles had this to say with her undecided if she’s competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics: “Hopefully, we’re in L.A. together … whatever that means!”

Hmmm!
