On Monday, Sept. 8, Farizan announced the news on the fourth hour of the beloved NBC morning show.
"A year ago, I launched a series called Own Your Power, where I challenged myself to speak my truth," Farizan said as she sat next to Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie. "And now, after 12 years with Today, I'm challenging myself to spread my wings beyond the show to see what new and exciting things await me professionally."
Donna Farizan announced she was leaving Today in a letter to herself
"Dear Donna, the time has come to start my next chapter. The unknown can be scary, but it's also exhilarating, so let's embrace it," she said as clips of herself as a college student aired. "Since I started college and had my heart set on television, I didn't know where the road would lead, but I knew to follow my curiosity and spark."
In her lengthy letter, Farizan recounted her time with the show. She later concluded, "This road will be fulfilling because I get to share in it with you, our viewers. I hope you’ll follow along on my socials as I continue to bring both light and depth, and entertain with value; so please join me on my journey, and I’ll be a part of yours."
