HODA KOTB’S POST AND FANS’ REACTIONS

These fans felt the host has been away for too long and expressed their feelings in the comments. A fan asked her to return to the show so that other hosts could also enjoy summer with their families.

Another fan asked when she would be returning, while one also pointed out that her co-host, Jenna needed her. Two other commenters said that Hoda didn’t have respect for the show, and told her people had lost interest in her. Quite a lot of disgruntled fans there.

HODA POSTS PICTURES OF HERSELF AND JENNA

A day before Hoda posted pictures of herself and members of her family, she went to visit her friend and co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, who is pregnant with her third child, confirmed to be a boy.

The pair co-host the “Today with Hoda and Jenna” show but have been separated for long on television due to Hoda’s maternity leave.

Hoda posted pictures of the visit on Instagram, and her caption would have calmed some of her fans eager to see her back on the show. In the caption, she announced that she couldn’t wait to be back with Jenna on TV.

No announcements have been made concerning Hoda’s return, but whenever it is, she wouldn’t be with Jenna for too long. The latter is due to deliver her child in August and would have to go on her maternity leave too.

HODA’S BOOK

While on maternity leave, Hoda Kotb took time to write a book, which seeks to inspire others. The television host shared news about the book in a video in which she announced her imminent return to the show.

The book is titled: “I Really Need This Today: Words To Live By,” and will be available from 15th October.
