Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb: It's Love!

Good-bye, Ann and Natalie! The fourth hour of the Today show is all about Hoda and Kathie Lee. No, seriously, it's all about them.

Kathie Lee Explodes Onto ‘Today’ Show

Kathie Lee Gifford is, in fact, joining the 'Today' show! And the wacky kids over there have just what we need to prepare: a montage. Montage!

We May Be Losing a Natalie, But We May Be Getting a Kathie Lee

When Natalie Morales announced on the Today show this morning that she was pregnant again, we were torn. On the one hand, we love Natalie Morales with all of our hearts (despite her participation in the soul-crushing fourth hour of the show) and think that the higher the percentage of babies in the world that have her for a mom, the better. On the other hand, this means that she'll probably have to sit out the network's sure-to-be-bonkers coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics in August, which saddens us. We were dying to see her forced into a synchronized-swimming competition with Matt or pulling Al around the streets of Beijing in a rickshaw. Our minds raced with questions — who would pick up the slack for her? Giada De Laurentiis? The sometime Today co-host didn't seem to work out (plus she also got pregnant), so we haven't seen her in a while. Tiki Barber? The delightful Amy Robach? The less delightful Jenna Wolfe? Not quite.
