Hoda Kotb breaks down in tears on the Today Show over coronavirus

It was a very real moment - ruined by Savannah who talked to her like a 2 year old.

Savannah should have just STFU and not made the moment about herself.

Sure, Jan.

The woman [italic]could not speak[/italic] she was overcome with emotion. Was she just supposed to sit there and stare at her? She helped her out. Criminy.

It was very touching.

Savannah did a good job in a pinch, as usual. She had to keep the show moving.

Hoda is a dumb twat.

Quick- a clip of a quarantined family doing the Macarena!

Shake it off wimp !!!

Who do think you are crying on air while trying to read the news?

That Oprah bitch?

What male reporters are acting like this?

None!

This is the shit that's driving me crazy. People putting up dumb videos of themselves doing basic shit like anyone outside of their immediate circle (and even then, they're faking interest) gives a damn to see them doing nothing that's even impressive.

Attention whores should catch it.

If I had to wear that tacky blue dress on national television I'd be in tears, too!!!

She’s embarrassing.

Hate to say it ...but you can see which parts of her face she wasn't born with.

Was she drunk, as usual?

[quote]Was she drunk, as usual?

And you all think no Muslims drink.

There's NO CRYING on live television!!!

I admire her. I don't watch her show, but it's nice to see some honest emotion every now and then. I've been crying a lot lately.

I don't think she's the slightest bit dumb. And I'm pretty sure she's more human than R6.

Savannah Guthrie is the fucking worst. Go away, bitch!

Something you'll never see from Trump - empathy and hurt from what's happening.

Gee R19 Does everyone have to be compared to Trump all the time?

At first I thought she was crying because she was getting the money.

I think she’s secretly in love with Drew Brees.

Everyone in NOLA loved her.

Who the hell is she?

It is nice to see her have real emotions about the people of new orleans, unlike the savanah. Savanah, Who I do not think she cares about anyone. she has supported the bush family, republicans and for profits who have destroyed the medical system there.

can someone post the entire youtube clip.

R26, I think this may be the best version.

[quote] I think she’s secretly in love with Drew Brees.

Why would she (or anyone) be in love with Brees?

R22 I know. She was okay until he said "love ya too Hoda", then she broke down.

She was sobbing like a college girl who was seeing The Beatles for the first time.

The last I heard she was making about $8 million a year (about $160,000.00 a week).

She's a top professional anchor but rarely acts like it (drinking on air, knowing Matt L. was a sexually harassing jerk & looking the other way, etc.).

I could cut her some slack if it was the 9/11 attacks or maybe a burning mall (something big & unexpected) but this has been coming our way since January.

She's had nearly 3 months to get it together (or take some of those savings & get a therapist to work thru the upcoming grief-a-thon).

Hoda is paid big bucks to bring her A game to the screen (not to have her peers do her job for her). Does Savannah get anywhere near Hoda's paycheck?

[quote]Hoda is a dumb twat.

I'll take dumb twat over being dead inside like R6.

R29 , I don't watch "daytime" TV (there, I said it), so I'm not familiar with either Hoda or Savannah. I did watch the clip at the OP and felt sad watching Hoda cry (Mary!). Savannah was irritating and I'm not even familiar with her.

Has Hoda been crying on air since January? If yes, why? The Corona virus only became headlines this month (March, 2020).

For $160,000.00 per week, I'd go to therapy every day. Whatever it takes!

[quote]I could cut her some slack if it was the 9/11 attacks or maybe a burning mall (something big & unexpected) but this has been coming our way since January.

She's a relatively new mother of two who is likely thinking of this terrible ass world her kids will grow up in and seeing generosity and in these dark times understandably moved her.

Hoda showed more genuine emotion and humanity in 30 seconds than Trump has shown in 3 1/2 years as president.

She hasn't been crying since January. Maybe reporting this nightmare for 3 hours a day for weeks finally wore her down. Give the woman a break. People go at her for crying and also go at Savannah for holding it together. No one can win.

R24 I think she is related to the disgraced Bill Kotb

I always thought her name was Koda Hotb?

Fuck off, R6.

Wrong R31 This virus has been making headlines as far back as early January here in the states. The anti-Trump ads have a timeline about his awful behavior for the past 3 (count 'em) months. Wake up.

R32 Her kids are set for life & won't want for anything.

I haven't heard of Hoda donating any of her estimated $35 million fortune to any coronavirus causes. Some of us need more from the 1% than a minute of public sobbing.

Have any of you wondered that she was sobbing not out of compassion but of guilt? She could've easily wrote out a million dollar check to buy masks/PPE for NY (or New Orleans) hospitals but it looks like they're gonna be wearing trash bags for the foreseeable future.

You fuck off, too, R38. God, some of you are heartless, frozen-heart bitches.

^ Hoda posting twice.

So I guess R40 thinks the 1% can cry their way out of this ongoing world health crisis

without any sizable public donations tied to their names?

R6 is the same troll who downplayed the pandemic in Coronavirus Freakout Part 6 ("pretty much a nothingburger, folks"), then later claimed to be infected with the virus.

Jesus, r27 you could've warned me of the loud queen in the video. I'm in bed and clicked the video; there is Hoda quietly whimpering, and then BAM that Danny dude suddenly starts yelling at me. Scared the shit out of me.

I think it was WONDERFUL. FUCK the keep calm and carry on stiff upper lip BULLSHIT!

This is a nightmare, if it takes Hoda crying to make people wake up, then I applaud her.

Her show doesn’t really need that strict of professionalism anyway. It’s usually pretty light.

How does one pronounce her last name - "Kooh-t-bee", "Caught-bee", "Caught-buh" or "Kooh-t-buh"?

Caught-bee.

I remember when Jane Pauley broke down in tears over all of us dying of AIDS. Oh, that's right...no one did.

Yoda FuckedMe

Great point R48.

"I haven't heard of Hoda donating any of her estimated $35 million fortune to any coronavirus causes. Some of us need more from the 1% than a minute of public sobbing."

How do you know she hasn't? Maybe she's not like Bethenny Frankel who must chronicle all of the things she does and post them so everyone knows what a great person she is.

Wow why are so many comments here so terrible.

Aunt Bee

This is the full interview. She held it together until the end. She's amazing

Does she need a tissue?

R51 says "How do you know she hasn't?" That's why I wrote "I haven't HEARD of Hoda..." Didn't you understand that part?

I didn't see all of the interview but since the topic was Drew donating $5 million of his own money for the cause,

it would've been the perfect time for Hoda to say what she has donated (if anything) &

to challenge the viewers who were watching to give whatever they could part with.

And how much have you given, R56 ? What have you done besides rag on someone else? And, BTW, the proper form is " written," not " wrote." So, instead of casting aspersions ( "Have any of you wondered that she was sobbing not out of compassion but of guilt?" and "Put your $ where your tears are bitch & get back 2 work "), put your face in a grammar book and learn English.

Good for Brees for helping out. It will be interesting to see who donates money and who hordes. I suspect that the rich CEOs will be the most tight fisted of all.

Who does her hair and makeup if this is a time for distancing? Or is she some sort of essential VIP who must stay "turned out" for the camera.

Drew Brees = BDF

Did somebody hide her booze?

Someone say," booze"?

R43, that's some good tracking on cunts and shit-stirrers like R6.

As for R48, what's your point? That Jane Pauley and other reporters, because they didn't cry on the air, didn't give a shit about people with AIDS? I remember, I was there, I lived through it, so please don't feel you need to explain to me what it was like. You're presenting a false analogy.

When reporters and talk-show hosts (I'm thinking of Jimmy Kimmel getting choked up about his son when talking about the health care situation in this country) show themselves to be human, people watching appreciate that--unless they're just your garden-variety shit-stirring cunts posting anonymously on a gay gossip site, as on this thread. If the shit-stirrers had to identify themselves, they'd go away fast.

Great PR for Drew, and yes that’s what IT’S ALL ABOUT. He’s a Ginormous TRUMPCUNT!!!
