"We wanted to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Kochie who this morning is saying goodbye to the early, early alarm clock and stepping down as co-host of Sunrise after a remarkable 21 years," he said at the closing of this morning's Today.

"He's been kind and friendly and the ultimate competitor so from all of us here at Today we want to wish him and his beautiful wife Libby the best for the future.

"Come Monday morning we look forward to you guys waking up with Today."
