Shes traveled the globe for network television, smuggling videotapes in her shoes and stepping along roads riddled with land mines. Shes weathered the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and a personal Category 5 as well: divorce and breast cancer in the same year. And if thats not scary enough, she then began cohosting the fourth hour of Today with Kathie Lee Gifford. (Oh, cmon, KLG! Thats funny...put down the huge pour of Chardonnay and laugh with us.) Hoda reads just like Kotb herselflight, funny, positive, and positively inspiring.
