Hoda Kotb Opens Up About Breaking Down in Tears On-Air (Exclusive)

ET’s Kevin Frazier video chatted with ‘Today’ show co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb to talk about the emotional moment Kotb had last week when interviewing New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, and what it’s like reporting on the coronavirus pandemic.

the way Savannah said ok, it was like you can tell that's how she's responds to her kids when they are upset, and that she just loves and wants to protect hodas emotions just as much as her own babies, what a great friend.

[moniquemacaulay]

Never be ashamed to show you are human!

Hoda is a wonderful person. She is sweet and just well rounded. It's a crazy time, and she's so transparent.

I love Savannah and Hoda. Both are wonderful caring people and you can tell just by their actions! Excellent anchors and I just wish all wonderful things for them. When I saw Hoda cry, I sat on my sofa and cried just like a baby right along with her. I just wanted to give her the biggest hug.

THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU WHAT SOMEONE WITH EMPATHY LOOKS LIKE

[Scully]

These 2 genuinely kind and smart ladies make my morning everyday.

I don't understand why, TV networks people give news reporters such a hard time about crying on TV. HELLO! They are still human beings, that's what we do when things are beyond our immediate fixing. People are DYING without their families to comfort them; you try being the literal bearer of bads news.. So, let news reporters have a cry once in a while. You'll be alright🤨
