Kotb to join Morales and Curry for 4th ‘Today’ hour
Don Day August 13th, 2007
Broadcasting & Cable has the early word on the Today Show’s plans for its new fourth hour - set to debut in September. Current third-hour anchors Anny Curry and Natalie Morales will be joined by Dateline NBC reporter Hoda Kotb. In addition to her Dateline duties, Kotb anchors syndicated weekly series “Your Total Health.” As had been noted earlier, Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira will not take part in the fourth hour. The show will also use several guest hosts, including Tiki Barber and Food Network’s Giada De Laurentiis, according to B&C.

I rarely get to see more than 25 mins of Today in the morning. However, I welcome the idea of an extra hour of Today for when I am home. Otherwise there is a bunch of crap on - too much courtroom and springer-esqe garbage. Hoda is a great addition. I’ve really liked her since she spoke about VT as a graduate. Way to go NBC.

If Giada is cooking on there, I’m watching. Oh, Mama!

Just wanted to say “congratulations”. I live in Ft. Myers, FL. and worked for the County, and saw you around the Courthouse many times, and I knew then that “this little gal wasn’t goinig to be in Ft. Myers very long”. I’m not at all surprised that you are at the top. Good for you.
Joy

The 4th hour of Today is just what I wanted. I work rotating 12-hour shifts, and I can come home in the morning and enjoy extra time with the people I enjoy watching. Ann (who I wish had been Katie’s replacement), Natalie and Hoda seem to mesh extremely well together. Congrats to NBC with this one!

Dear Hoda,
I wanted this in a email to you, I don’t know if you’ll get this but here it goes anyway. I’ve been a loyal watcher of the today show from a young girl, my family always watch it. But let me tell you I want to let you know I watched your segment on the ordeal with your breast cancer, And I wanted to give you a nice long hug; I had a sisted who passed away from BC and it was hard to see that and another that was also dignois with it and she was in the same shock like you. I cannot tell you how much you coming out about can effect many women, but know this that plenty of women think because we see very strong and healthy women like you on TV and we say nothing bad happens to them and say these people on TV are invensible. You and brave women like you bring it home, when you come out and show you are just as human like us who watch you everday. Thank you again for doing that I know it was very diffcult. And one more thing Ann Curry can make anyone cry I love her but Donald Trump would not want to be interviewed by that lady.
