Hoda Kotb Explains Why She and Kathie Lee Drink on TODAY- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[LonelyPube]

She's super sweet and full of life. No one has anything bad to say about her. Happy for her success

[Toxodos]

I always love seeing Seth talk to colleagues, like here or with Bill Hader. Feels like peeking behind the curtain.

[habbogigi]

She honestly seems like a woman that just loves life tbh

[surrealcereal]

I wanted to dislike her because her show with Kathy Lee is so vapid, but the truth is she seems like such a fun woman. Adorable, even. She doesn't take herself too seriously.

[gonzalom]

Drinking wine at 10 AM everyday is not normal...that's alcoholism

[TheAndokid]

yes there is no FCC violation of drinking alcohol on the air, however some of the networks do not allow alcohol around the broadcasting equipment.

[michaelnieves]

That is what I call A professional drunk!

[katherined]

But we in Canada will always have the triumph of the hockey finals in Vancouver in 2010.

[ThelastArchdemon]

quote "did somebody say Party".

[bongopro]

Now I get where morning mimosa comes from, American dad😅😅

[GingerGingie]

I never watch the show, but she seems like so much fun. Beautiful family! Such a cute little kiddo!

[RelentlessOhiox]

Coming from an alcoholic of 12 years who is a year into recovery.. she is a functioning alcoholic. I don't care if she is likable. She is an alcoholic.

[NewMessage]

I you had to spend that much time with Kathy Lee.. you'd drink too.

[GG-ukdn]

Im sorry but acting like lushes who can't live without your wine for 5 minutes at 10am in the morning just doesn't seem like a good example on tv. Yes- people will brush this off as a "its just a joke/for fun/don't be a downer" etc. but that's my opinion. If you watch the show them drinking is a BIG part of the show - and its 10AM- more than just middle aged and up women who drink 24/7 are watching the show as well.

[singingfan]

Disgusting. Normalizing morning drinking is disgraceful. Not only that, but those with alcoholism can’t even prepare to watch some morning tv? Wtf dude

[dougzander]

It’s because they have a problem with alcohol- that’s why they drink on TV

[mm]

I like Hoda but watching her for 2 hours in the morning and then again with Kathie Lee is too much. no one can be that much happy perky all the time and it just too much to deal with 3 hours a day. she should keep the morning and drop the Kathie Lee show show I don't like Kathy Lee

[jamesuberman]

When your face has been stretched out and have 4lbs of makeup on, it helps to ease the pain.

[nhokonhokopuala]

Still, drink everyday is being an alcoholic...

[lindanieman]

Does Honda still drink her alcohol out of her coffee cup?
