“I have really loved spending most of the last year with all of you, seeing pictures of your pets and your babies and learning why you are awake, and watching and of course bringing you the news.

“I will have more on my adventure coming up in the next weeks, but for now, I just want to thank everyone at NBC News and MNSBC.”
