Hoda: 'SNL' fourth hour spoof 'hysterical'

From Hoda Kotb, TODAY co-anchor

I can only say that I was THRILLED that Keenan Thompson didn't play me. I thought the spoof was hysterical ... I didn't know that being needled by a hot show like "Saturday Night Live" could feel so good. Hats off to "SNL"!!! xoxo, Hoda

See a clip of the skit here:

I just watched this skit too, and it was funny! Someone on Twitter pointed me to your response, very good natured of you.
And yes, "O" is a vowel. You've got two.

Absolutely hilarious.  One of the funniest skits to date.  I just wonder how Kathie Lee feels about the portrayal.  You know, there's always some truth underlying the skits at SNL...

You know if SNL thinks it's worth spoofing then there must be some job security for you.

I think that we need to be able to laugh at ourselves.  If we can't, then we aren't truly living.

As a fan of both-I thought it was so funny!!  You know that you are noteworthy if SNL finds the time to write and do a skit!

And i certainly hope that both Hoda and Kathy continue to be their endearing, warm selves-spontaneous and natural.
And yes, everyone should be relieved that none of the guys decided to play Hoda and Kathy!

I think it's great that you can laugh at yourself Hoda! The skit was truly funny and over exaggerated (of course.) You have to look at this as a form of flattery.  You are interesting and popular enough to be imitated on SNL. I wish I was there!!!

Hoda!  We loved you in New Orleans back in the early 90's.  Awesome to see you in the national spotlight!
You're beautiful, haven't aged a bit.
