Many of us have been there during this crisis. Hoda Kotb just happened to do it in front of a national television audience on Friday.
The “Today” anchor, a former New Orleans resident, began to sob after interviewing Saints quarterback Drew Brees about his $5 million donation to feed the city’s hungry during the coronavirus pandemic.
Kotb and Brees said “love you” to each other before Kotb attempted to start a new segment. Then emotions overwhelmed her.
Co-anchor Savannah Guthrie tried to console her, and Kotb said she was sorry. But no apology necessary.
Viewers on Twitter applauded her humanity.
