It's a trip to the City of Light in the cards for the hosts of the Today Show, who gushed on the latest installment of the morning news show about their upcoming jaunt to Paris in just a year now.
Hoda Kotb, 58, gushed this morning about the 2024 Olympic Games, hosted by the French capital this year, being just about a year away. The games are set to start on July 26, 2024.
The show included a shot of the countdown timer to the opening ceremony in Paris, with Hoda promising interviews and appearances from several Team USA hopefuls over the course of the year.
"It's hard to believe, one year from now, we'll be in Paris in the shadow of the Eiffel," her co-anchor for the day Craig Melvin commented, to which Hoda excitedly responded with a: "Yes!"
NBC is the major network in the United States covering the Olympic Games, with the Today hosts spending over a week in Tokyo in 2021 for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

That Wednesday and Thursday, Savannah, 51, reported from France while her co-stars back at the NBC News studios excitedly cheered her on, with segments focusing on the preparations for the upcoming games and a history lesson on the famed Eiffel Tower.
2024's Olympics are expected to be major moments for the Games, the first to be held in front of full capacity venues since the 2018 Games, with the Covid-19 pandemic resulting in limited attendance for the delayed 2020 Games.

This year's Olympics will also be the first to feature the newly added event of breaking aka breakdancing. Paris will be the main host city while 16 other cities in the mainland and one in Tahiti will act as subsites.
