Sipping champagne is the only way for Hoda Kotb to spend her last day as a “Today” anchor. After all, she and Kathie Lee Gifford were the ones who popularized daytime drinking on morning television.

Kotb bid farewell to her “Today” show team with a toast and dance at Seth Meyers’ studio after wrapping her final show with Jenna Bush Hager on Friday, Page Six has learned. Insiders told us they filmed the fourth hour of “Today” in Meyers’ space because they needed space for a live studio audience. They burst bottles after the cameras stopped rolling.

“There was music playing, there were a lot of tears and people were dancing and hugging each other. Hoda went around taking pictures with everyone,” an insider told Page Six.

Several people gave speeches, including Kotb, Bush Hager, executive producer Talia Parkinson Jones and NBC News EVP Libby Leist.

The celebratory farewell came after Kotb’s emotional farewell on the flagship morning show, which she co-hosted with Savannah Guthrie.

“Can I just say thank you? I couldn’t articulate it because I’m a mess most of the time, but I just want to say thank you,” she said through tears.

Kotb received a gift from Jamie Lee Curtis, a surprise visit from Simone Biles and a video message from Oprah Winfrey. Kotb’s family, including her daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, were also there on her last day.

Kotb, 60, reflected on her 26-year career at NBC and her path to the anchor desk on “Today” in a farewell memo to staff.

The famed broadcaster described the network as her “ride-or-die partner,” writing, “NBC has guided me and advocated for me since I walked onto 30 Rock nearly three decades ago….” I will always be grateful “Dateline gave me the time to learn the ropes… When the cancer snuck up on me, the peacock stepped in… wrapped me in soft feathers, hugged me and helped me every step of the way,” she continued. reflecting on the network’s support following her breast cancer diagnosis in 2007.

Kotb even paid tribute to Gifford, writing, “This fourth hour would prove to be career and life changing for me – and this network – as we all became thoroughly and happily KLG-ed.”

She wrote about how the network “gave me time to enjoy my dream of becoming a mother” a year before she and Guthrie made history as the “first all-female hosting team.”

“But that wasn’t even the best part – SG and I have become sisters… boy, am I going to miss sitting next to my friend,” she wrote.

Then she welcomed her second daughter: “Baby Hope… I felt unworthy of almost so many blessings… And yet God surprised me with another – Jenna Bush Hager (I’m doing the arm gestures). I fell in love with. I really can’t imagine saying goodbye to her as I write this.

“Today with Hoda & Jenna” has been renamed “Today with Jenna & Friends” as it searches for a permanent co-host to replace Kotb. Craig Melvin will co-host alongside Guthrie starting Monday.

“I leave with the most treasured memories of my life, excited and energized to create many more… Savannah and Craig – You have this!!!!! Oh and here we go, Mets!!!” she concluded.
