Earlier this week, Hoda Kotb's co-host Jenna Bush Hager surprised her with the news that Oprah Winfrey would be appearing on their show
, Kotb grew visibly emotional when the legendary talk-show host stepped onto their set Friday morning.
As Winfrey came onstage, she offered hugs to Kotb and Bush Hager while the live studio audience cheered — and Kotb wiped away tears.“You made our year!” Bush Hager, 38, told her. “Okay, I just need a moment,” Kotb said when the three sat down at the table. As she continued to wipe away tears, a tissue box was lowered down from the ceiling, to laughs from the audience.
“I can’t tell you — Oprah, I feel like I’ve been in this business a hundred years, and you know when people say, ‘You mean so much to me,’ but they’ve never met you, and I know maybe it always seems a little weird, but this is really one of those moments for me, so thank you,” said Kotb, 55.
