She “felt she had accomplished what she set out to do, including diversifying the company’s portfolio, and wanted to leave when she was still young enough to pursue another opportunity,” the Wall Street Journal reported. Nooyi worked at the snack and soft drinks company for 24 years and pulled in just under $30 million in salary in 2016, making her one of the world’s most powerful and famous female execs. In October, PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi, 63, stepped down as chief executive after a dozen years at the helm. “She’s been ultra-busy for decades,” he added, “and since she’s only 65, she can very likely keep busy for years to come.”ĭon’t miss: Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford toast to 10 years on the air

She took a long break from TV before, after her Regis (Philbin) years, and remained very active until she came back in 2008. I can’t imagine, though, that she won’t now move on to do something else. “Kathie Lee is leaving as a fan fave, a team player, a solid morning TV brand. “She’s leaving on a high note for her - particularly in the context of the ‘Today’ show, where the highest profile departures of recent years (Matt Lauer, Megyn Kelly, Ann Curry) have all come under either dark clouds or extreme discomfort,” longtime TV critic David Hinckley told Moneyish. The Associated Press notes that Gifford also has appeared onstage in the Broadway musical revue “Putting it Together” and supplied book and lyrics for the 2012 Broadway flop “Scandalous: The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson.” And she has also released albums, including the “The Heart of a Woman” in 2000 and the religious “Gentle Grace” in 2004, as well as bestselling children’s books.Īs for who could possibly replace her, she teased, “I have my idea of who might be absolutely wonderful, but there’s a great pool of talent and beauty and heart right around here, right within our own (‘Today’) family.” She didn’t name names, but fellow “Today” contributor Jenna Bush Hager has sat in for Gifford many times before. While Gifford hasn’t given a reason for leaving, she hinted on the air that, “It’s an exciting time for me, and I’m thrilled about all the projects that are coming up.” That could include theater, as she has supplied the book, lyrics and some of the music for the off-Broadway show “Under the Bridge,” an adaptation of a children’s book about a hobo who befriends a homeless family in Paris. In an email sent to NBC staffers and published by Page Six (which shares the same parent company as MarketWatch), the network announced that Gifford will stay through the morning show’s next anniversary on April 7, 2019.
