Hoda Kotb Just Addressed 'Kelly Clarkson Show' Rumors
Hoda Kotb is back on Today this week, where she's resumed her cohosting spot on Jenna & Friends—just for one morning. But, before she took her seat alongside Jenna Bush Hager, she sat down with her friends Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin for an interview.
Hoda left the show in January after a 26-year career with NBC News. But during her appearance this morning, she took time to clear the air on a rumor that has been running rampant on social media. Namely, that she will be replacing Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show. Last week, celebrity gossip account DeuxMois reported that the change was coming and the announcement would be made soon. The unfounded report was bolstered by Kelly's unexplained absence from her talk show earlier this year and rumors that she was looking to leave once her contract was up. (Kelly has not spoken publicly on either of these matters.)
But leave it to Hoda to set the record straight. When asked about the rumor, she said, "If I ever came back to TV, do you know where the only place I would ever come back to is? Right here. This is the spot. Delete, delete. It's not true."
Craig chimed in with, "So the rumors are done." And Savannah added, "Just rumors, not true."

Well, that settles that! Of course, that led some fans to comment that they want Hoda back on Today. They left comments like "Please come back 😭😭😭" and "Come on Hoda, we miss you terribly."
We're glad to put this rumor to rest, although we were looking forward to a Hoda version of Kellyoke...
