HODA Kotb broke down in tears during a surprise 60th birthday celebration on Today.
The daytime TV host had an entire hour dedicated to her on Monday.
Hoda, 60, was surprised by people she interviewed years ago.
They either battled cancer or were trying to adopt a child.
She helped everyone by getting a child for adoption by a couple, bringing them comfort and being present during treatments.
As they chatted on video, Hoda wiped away tears.
The families then surprised her by showing up in person and giving her flowers.
“It’s too much!” Hoda told her co-hosts.
She was also surprised by a mural featuring her daughters’ hands that read “Just the Right Time,” a quote she says often.
Little Big Town appeared to sing their song Stay All Night in the square.
Sugarland also performed their biggest hit, Stuck Like Glue.
The bands then came together for a duet to sing Phil Collins’ Take Me Home.
Hosts Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie and Al Roker ended the show by toasting Hoda and telling her they loved her.

Hoda also attended treatment and Devin said she “showed up for our family.
Bart Conley, whose wife, Jill, had breast cancer, talked about how kind Hoda was to them during that time, sending her video messages all the time.
