Hoda Kotb's emotions got the better of her on the “Today" show Friday as she concluded a (watch here) segment with New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who is donating money to help with the outbreak of coronavirus there.
“Drew, we love ya,” Kotb said. Then she dissolved in tears, and co-anchor Savannah Guthrie jumped in to take over.
Kotb was a news anchor and reporter at the CBS affiliate in New Orleans during the 1990s.
“Hoda, I'm so sorry, hon,” Guthrie said. “I know where your heart is.”
