A few days late, but I was kind of pissed off at Jenna for STILL not pronouncing Kamala Harris's name correctly.  

Jenna can’t even pronounce the word important correctly so I doubt she could say Kamala correctly either. She is beyond awful. Yet she makes millions of dollars off of Today & her stupid books.

I wish they would stop with the chaotic cooking at home with the hosts. They really think they are the only ones with children and that everyone is just so interested in their home lives. It’s boring and pointless. 

[OpalNightstream]

Wow they really laid it on thick with father of the bride...with Steve marden, marden short, and Diane keeden. It was a great movie but I hardly think it was as iconic and earth shattering as the show is trying to make it seem.

I see what you did there. 😄

I heard & saw it and wanted to die. The girl can’t pronounce her T’s. I don’t care if she’s from Texas. You went to college and have lived NYC forever. Go to speech therapy or something or get the hell off of television. Rant over. 

[Bronzedog]

Jesus.  Can someone shut Kathi Lee up?  Jenna says, "I have to get to this story " and KL continues to interrupt her to keep babbling on about herself.  Shut up!

[Axie]

Hoda starts the show saying "Today is October 8th".  Less than a minute later she says, "What is today's date?  I don't know."   Please don't adopt any more kids, Hoda.

[Axie]

Kathi Lee makes me wanna puke.  Now I remember why I never watched Regis and Kathi Lee.

[Haleth]

It’s gross that everyone thinks he/she can write a children’s book, and only because they are in the public eye does it get published and sells well. 

[Cyranetta]

Why do the promote what's coming up on the third and fourth hours when they've already said that coverage would be given to the Senate hearing?

Because different time zones might see it?  They film anyway, regardless of what might preempt them. Unaired segments will be used later. 

[ByaNose]

It was a previously taped episode at 10 a.m. so I deleted it. I never watch the taped stuff. I’m guessing Hoda is on vacation. She was out Friday so I’m guessing she’s out this week, too.

I think it's also for online viewing too?

[Axie]

Why are people congratulating Hoda on her book of quotes?  All she did was steal other people's' words.

[Haleth]

I guess they are congratulating her on making a bundle (presumably) while putting in minimal effort. Nice gig. 

[seasons]

The only sort of good thing I can think of about these two (!) quote books out by Hoda is that it is kind of nice to have positive thoughts all together in one place? I could see some women friends/relatives kind of digging it.

And with this one no book tour. 

[ByaNose]

Wait! Hoda “wrote” a book? I hadn’t heard. They don’t mention it enough. Hoda should check in with the publicity department on this oversight.

Did you know that her wedding had been postponed too?  I don’t think they talk about this stuff enough😂🙄

Well, with that I do feel it is a bummer. I know several who had to cancel, postpone or relocate their weddings due to Covid. So I’ll give her a pass. That said, it sounded like a destination wedding and everybody would have been invited. Less Matt and the weekend people who will need to cover all the top tier players while they are away. Um, you aren’t invited to my wedding but you’ll neeed to cover all my hours on Today. Thanks a bunch!

[Bronzedog]

Since you're doing a retropective of Blake Shelton and Hoda, can we finally know where you dumped your dog, Hoda?  It's also kinda dumb to discuss how touching This Is Us was last night when no one bothered to watch it.

Yeah, and don’t know the context of the clip they showed.

They totally got the Randall clip wrong. You’d  think someone in production would have said, “This clip with Randall and Maleek.........”. Hoda & Jenna are making millions of dollars so I doubt they lose sleep over it.

They don’t even remember the names of their co-workers kids🤷‍♀️

So true.

Today's opening with Jenna singing was horrific.

[Haleth]

The costumes were great though.

Yea, I thought it was cool that they got to wear actual costumes from the Broadway shows.  Craig looked very handsome as Hamilton & Shenelle & Dylan looked adorable as the gals in "Chicago". 

[HyeChaps]

Ugh! Hoda's real singing!

[ByaNose]

Jenna makes an ugly cat. Just saying. Of course, it’s Broadway and it has to be extra. LOL!!!!! I watched the earlier show on mute. I cringe every year but I do like to see them all made up. I think Shenelle & Dylan looked really cute. Craig got into it, too. See everyone next wear. LOL!!!

[Haleth]

Did I hear correctly that those were the actual Broadway costumes?  I missed their intro. 

[Zeldam]

Hoda, PLEASE stop repeating "yes, Yes, YES, yes"  while others are talking.   Today I counted seven (7) plus yeses during a 2 minute story of Jenna's.   It is driving me crazy!  

[ByaNose]

If Jenna says “kindness” one more time I’m going to hurl. She says it like a five year old which may be generous. I cannot believe she gets paid. She’s awful.

[seasons]

"dorm room duel" h&j today. Two college students racing to bounce a ball in a cup. 

How does this shit even happen? Are they that desperate for material?

I can't believe Jenna pronounced the t's in that instead of saying "Onee-dah".  Cause as you know, she is from Texas and that's how they pronounce things🙄

[BuckeyeLou]

NBC is really shining the spotlight on Savannah...she got a big write-up in the NYTimes.  She must be their "Star", several glamour shots of her wearing a black leather jacket.  

[ByaNose]

Okay! Enough is enough. We need to start a petition to get Jenna off this show and tv in general. Today while introducing a story about a firefighter she said (reading from a teleprompter) let’s hear his horroic story instead of the word heroic. OMG! She is frickin illiterate. She can’t read or spell. She is a total embarrassment. Not to mention they had Dolly on earlier and she continues to say Dolly Pardon. WTF?!?!?!? Rant over.

I’ll take her over Hoda any day 

[seasons]

I really Like Vicky Nguyen who has been contributing to the show almost daily these days. She seems so intelligent and real, not at all fake. I enjoy her presentations. Hope they keep her around! 

[seasons]

Now we can't say the word "Thanksgiving"? Its a " holiday" week? Happy "holiday"? 

Please, Today Show. Stop it.

[OpalNightstream]

It’s been asked before but I need to ask again...what’s so freaking funny hoda?!?! She just could handle how apparently hysterical the panda names were. Maybe because they were atypical names? Thanks HODA!

[Bronzedog]

Once again I have to wonder why Hoda has been so successful.

[Haleth]

I’ve found that most news personalities aren’t nearly as smart as they seem when they just read the news.

Amen to that.

Just now our local new anchor couldn't read the word "egregious". She butchered it so horribly it was hard to tell what word she meant.

I do like David Muir from ABC's " World News Tonight". Actually, I also like Lester Holt and Norah O'Donnell. I'm guessing you have to have some smarts to surpass the local level.

 

Today, Jenna pronounced the word "etiquette" "et-i-quit".

As in the " kw" sound for "qu".

As in "quiet".

Hoda has to know that is wrong but said nothing.

Jenna not being able to speak proper proper English on a “news” show is beyond embarrassing. She can’t be that popular with the viewers that she’s not replaceable, right? I can’t believe the higher ups haven’t canned her yet.

We have a woman reading the news on the week-end (local station) that can't say one sentence without slaughtering two or three words.  I give her one minute & change the channel.  I've written to the station at least three times, to no avail.

We have a woman on our local NBC station who's been there for over 30 years.  She's started to pepper almost every other word with "uhh," like she's thinking of what to say.  It's too bad because she's well-liked but I think it's time for her to go.  I change the channel now after a few minutes.

Marlo Thomas was On with H&J today. She looks amazing!!!! She is 83! 

I'll have what she's having! 😏 

seriously she looks great. Maybe up close not as much, today of course she was remote, but still. Wowza.
