Ohwell March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 I'm no Julia Child myself, but I do recognize basic cooking utensils. Megan and Savannah act like they've never seen them before. If you're that clueless about basic cooking then it's better to just not have chefs on the show, or have someone else do the cooking segment, like Al or Carson. 3 Link to comment

During that same period my mom was in college and my dad traveled a lot. Microwave ovens were becoming common, so it was prepackaged for us. I don’t watch Megan’s show. However, I think whenever Savannah does a cooking segment it’s mostly for fun. Not all viewers are homemakers, and some of us can relate to lacking certain skills.

Mrsjumbo March 18, 2018 Share March 18, 2018 My opinion is that if KLG goes solo in the 4th hour with guest hosts, it’s because Hoda took over In the 1st hour, which was not foreseen, & it may be wearing her down doing both 1st & 4th hours, & she may want to spend more time with the baby also. I doubt there’s a feud. 5 Link to comment

summerdaze March 20, 2018 Share March 20, 2018 I think Kathie Lee was a bit jealous and resentful of the fact Hoda was promoted, she moved dressing rooms (she mentioned it constantly on the show), she went to the Olympics, and she had the attention with her baby and her book. I don't know how accurate the badly written article is on Tv Over Mind. It sure seems as thought a lot of it made no sense at all. However, I do not think Russian trolls are worried about Hoda and Kathie Lee, they have midterm elections to interfere with! I don't think a talk show is something that affects them. 5 Link to comment
junemeatcleaver March 21, 2018 Share March 21, 2018 I don't know if KLG is jealous, if she's anything she's probably perturbed her hour is most likely going to change soon. I think it's just common sense that Hoda isn't going to do both the first two hours and the fourth hour of Today forever. 2 Link to comment

Even if you're not much of a cook, if you have a cooking segment, do a little research. And again if you never really learned to cook like I didn’t, it’s kinda fun to watch Savannah struggle through cooking segments. I actually learn more when she’s doing it, than when an experienced cook like Al is doing his thing. Over the past several generations women have been afforded with so many choices when it comes to family and careers. My mom is a great cook, however, when I was at an adolescent/teen she went to college and became career oriented. Except for Thanksgiving and Christmas, she didn’t cook and still doesn’t to this day although she’s retired and in her late 70s. I chose a career over having a family. My husband and I are now retired. We’re pretty simple when it comes to the kitchen. I think it’s wonderful when Today mixes up their cooking segments from simple to difficult. It shows that they’re aware that their viewers cross many segments. 2 Link to comment
summerdaze March 23, 2018 Share March 23, 2018 Why was Kathie Lee saying that they were nominated for an Emmy? I don't see Hoda and Kathie lee anywhere on the nominee list. Is she talking about the Today show in general? It was just funny how she acted like their particular show was nominated. In reality, the Today show is different on my DVR from Kathie lee and Hoda. So, really Hoda's portion seems to be nominated. Meghan Kelly is nominated? Seriously? I do think Kathie Lee is trying hard to recreate Live, but with her religious preaching, an corny segment twist. She even has her "Gelmans" with fur face and Donnadorable. BTW, does one of them have another show or podcast? I can't figure out why anyone would care to watch or listen to either one of them. 1 Link to comment

I don’t know why klg seems to have her own one woman Donna fan club. They can’t go a Day without shoving Donna and furface in our faces. What if he shaves? What will they call him then?

She never mentions fat, sodium, or any other dietary concern. It's all calories all the time. I remember mom obsessing about calories in the 1980s so to me it just seems very old fashioned, ignoring so many other factors in losing weight. Not to mention her substitutions rarely seem appetizing. I used to appreciate Matt calling her out of how a carrot was not an acceptable substitution for a cookie. 7 Link to comment

The backlash against KLG was built up over time. I think for now, wouldn't be surprised if the audience will eventually get sick of Hoda talking about Hayley, Hoda is seen as a kind woman who is thankful for a child she never imagined coming into her life 10 years ago. I'm still a little shocked that KLG made the comeback she did. She was not well liked by the time she was fired from Live! 4 Link to comment

She was also always talking about how perfect Frank was, he was the "love machine" (blech), She just seemed to act like she knew it all, and her children were perfect - of course! Hoda isn't getting too much backlash because she seems more "normal". She has a messy purse, a messy house, She posts pictures of her kid with a runny nose. She doesn't act like she knows it all. But, at this point Hoda is irritating me too! First of all, I think she is not very bright. I am amazed she ever was a reporter. Sometimes she has horrible grammar and just comes off stupid and silly. Beyond that, her baby stores are so so boring and annoying now. If that kid takes a dump, it's some deep event! It's ffwd time when she brings up her baby! And I have said it before, her annoying overdone smile, may times with her mouth open is just too much some times. It feels weird being annoyed about someone's expression, but she just comes off not too bright, overdone, and constantly babbling on and on about that baby. Lately, I find both Kathie Lee and Hoda super annoying! 12 Link to comment

Anyone else think Hoda seems much more happy & comfortable when she reads a fluff piece vs “real” news? Also I know they are trying to keep KLG looking young, but the woman is 64 yrs old.

She couldn’t put it down on the air since she knows where her bread his buttered with NBC ! Kathie lee would like everyone to believe she's this musical theater "artist", and hangs with the big names, but down deep she is corny and close minded. Not everyone needs to like all musical theater, but the fact that they didn't mention Jesus Christ Superstar, when they mentioned every other poorly done live NBC musical in the past, was very telling. Kathie lees sees herself as a bible "expert", who just knows all that happened 2000 years ago would be horrified and break out in a rash if she had to even dare watch Jesus Christ Superstar! Don't you know? She and all of her friends like Franklin Graham, who preaches hate and homophobia, know exactly what happened, and it's all with a blue eyed Jesus, who looks European and not at all Jewish, and he also has all white apostles! JCSS may not be faithful to the bible that Kathie lee believes in, but it showed a human side to the characters, and the music is great IMO. Kathie lee is so close minded she probably couldn't even watch it as theater! Besides all of that, is something wrong with Kathie lee's little nephew or is it a great nephew. Hes' very cute, but is he like 4 years old sitting in a high chair? And he barely talks and just looks like he has some problem. Hoda didn't gush over Haley Joy too much, which was good.

Hoda definitely comes off as more intelligent than Jenna Bush-Whatever, Chenille and even Tamron Hall. The only thing that bugs me is the constant attention to Hoda's adoption story. I'm an adoptive mom and I appreciate her journey to motherhood. My family is so grateful for the process that brought my daughter into our lives 11 years ago. But the Today Show staff act as if Hoda is the first woman to ever adopt/have a child for Godssake. I get that she is over 50, so becoming a parent later in life is fulfilling a dream she had and didn't think was possible. Many congrats and blessings to you and your baby. Now, please MOVE ON! I feel like Hoda & Haley get extra attention from the co-hosts since Haley's arrival vs. Savannah's & Dylan's kids. Not that I want their children brought up as much as Hoda's. That is one of the things I don't like about the Today show, the hosts live in their own little world where they think their lives are special and they are the first to do something. I find that the people that bring up their life so much are actually the most unhappiest people. 3 Link to comment

SanDiegoInExile April 9, 2018 Share April 9, 2018 (edited) Gavin Furface Shulman is a lead producer for the show. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3773879/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm https://www.instagram.com/geelastic/ I think they are trying to Gelman-ize him. Donna is basically playing the Sara Haines role from the Early Years of the Fourth Hour. She seems to be a Production Assistant. Her Instagram cites she is the "Social Contributor". Sara played that role back in the day, though it was mostly lurking in a corner cubicle, hyping things on the internet. Now Sara has racked up several seasons as a co-host on The View.

Send the supporting cast (Donna, Jenna, Jill) to do some expanded pre-taped remotes. Book a mid-level celeb to be on-set from time to time. Add in 26 minutes of commercials. And done.

But given the tremendous hubbub they made about 10 Years, it would seem odd to have them both move on a few months later. Or even next year. Maybe KLG has decided to try to match her 15 Years with Regis by doing 15 Years with Hoda? And Hoda probably still can't believe she makes $7M+ a year, with likely major raises year after year.

I suppose the Big Question is what eventually happens to Megyn Kelly. Fourth Hour seems very intent on having that studio audience. They slowly have to get new people on the hour, I still think Hoda is more important then Kathie Lee for the program. A possible Kathie Lee replacement would be Sheinelle Jones or they can pick up an outsider. There is a need for studio audience nowadays to bring more effect in the program. I read some gossip that Megyn Kelly is eyeing Lester Holt's job. I hope that is no true cause NBC needs Lester Holt and Lester is respected. You can't just replace someone without being consequences for the network. Megyn Kelly is not likable to have an evening news job. Megyn Kelly should just focus on her show, maybe she needs a co-host.She has no warm personality and having a co-host can help in bringing out another side to yourself. Link to comment
