Hoda Kotb returns !

The problem is she is 58 with a 3 yr old. SMH.

But honestly I never realized her and Kathy Lee were that far apart in age.

Who cares.

She will be 59 in August with children under five. Ridiculous - yet no one told her how ridiculous this is when she was adopting these two babies ? No one had an honest sit-down with her and said, 'you may be too old for this' ? Is it because she has money so she was able to get what she wanted ?

Well at least she did adopt.

R4 There are many younger couples who want to adopt and have been on waiting lists forever. It's too bad their chance was lost to a post-menopausal celebrity woman who will be 80 before these girls even hit 30.

The Today Show will milk the ever loving shit out of Hope’s “health journey.” Just wait for all the nurses to be on the plaza as Hoda and Savannah anoint them heroes. Or she-roes. Every day will bring a reason to get choked up and slip in Jesus talk. #HopeforHope will go from a cloying hashtag to a 5k event. It will be overexposed and commercialized in no time. All so the show can gain an edge over the completion with flyover Love Live Laugh Mamas across the land. The Today Show is just a shadow of its former self.

Where are the daughters from? I googled and couldn't find anything.

R7. They didn’t come from our tribe. Lucky twats.

Double "oh, dear."

We deemed the candidate unsuitable.

It seems a bit old to adopt a child that age. Plus doesn't she earn enough that she doesn't need to work at least till the child is school age?

Didn't she adopt the brats with her husband who then bolted?

I miss the days when they gave people new names when they made them stars, I would have no idea how to pronounce this person’s name.

Hoda sounds like Yoda.

R6 Boy did you nail it. It's going to be a rough few months going forward.

R12 She was never married to him. They were just 'life partners' for a short while.

I feel like Joel really hurt her and left her all on her own with two small kids.

"Hoda Kotb--rhymes with Stotb!"

Archibald Leach is spinning in his grave over this name!

R11, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are doing the same thing.

R6, I remember Dave Garroway & J. Fred Muggs. That was the real "Today"!

The heartless hussy. A woman's place is in the home.

I love Hoda Lee.

If the public finds Hoda acceptable as a 58 year old mother to two toddlers, then I guess Streisand (in her 80s) playing 'Mama Rose' in the movie 'Gypsy' is very acceptable and believable. Streisand isn't crazy for wanting to play the role of mother to children in their 20s at the age of 80 - she is being trendy.

Hoda is a genuinely nice person.

Hoda was a keynote speaker at a women's 'business positivity retreat' at my college a few years ago. She drew a large crowd, and was very dynamic onstage. Once she was done, she retreated into her bubble and didn't really engage with anyone at the event (other speakers, admins, guests, etc). I believe she skipped the dinner that night, too, which was to honor the three key note speakers. She was paid quite a bit of money, too.

In the past, Suze Orman, Geena Davis, Mika Brzensky, and a number of other celebrities have been the KNS.

I feel like she made all these plans and Joel really screwed her over.

I’m so fucking sick of her ass

Instead of adopting, she should have gotten plastic surgery, she looks like a man.

Who cares is she adopted two kids in her 50s? She can give them a good home.

Lots of older people, sometimes poor, end up raising their grandkids. What counts is that the kids are loved and cared for. Youth does not guarantee a person is a good parent. If it did the foster care system would not be overloaded.

[quote]Hoda is a genuinely nice person.

This is absolutely true. Sweet and gracious.

She and Savannah were dressed up like twins today for some reason.

I’m so glad Hoda is back. I hope her daughter will be okay!

Like millions of other families. Like mine. At least Hoda makes a ton of money and doesn’t have to use food stamps and clean other people’s houses to make ends meet.

Team Joel

Team Hoda.

R13 This is why I love my elder gays.
