TRUTH BEHIND THE TV SMILES: THEY HATE EACH OTHER’S GUTS!
AFTER years of sipping wine and joking on air and socializing off camera, Today show best buds Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb are at each other’s throats, locked in a ferocious feud fueled by jealousy and crushed feelings.
Kathie Lee, 63, is fuming at new parent Hoda for snubbing her in favor of her new mommy gal group and also kissing up to NBC’s new star newsgal Megyn Kelly.
Meanwhile, Hoda, 52, is green with envy and seething after learning wannabe actress Kathie Lee has been plotting to ditch their morning show team for sitcom stardom.
“They’ve had a huge falling out,” snitches an insider. “Sure, they smile for the cameras, but it’s all fake.
“When their segment is done, Hoda goes oneway and Kathie Lee another.”
That’s a far cry from their previous relationship where the gals made swilling wine and gossipy chatter a trademark of their morning segment on NBC.
Firing the off-camera feud is starstruck Kathie Lee’s insatiable dreams of stardom on her own sitcom.
Hoda was “dumbfounded” when she discovered Kathie had been “pitching ideas” for shows to Andy Cohen, a bigwig producer and star of his Bravo chat show, Watch What Happens Live, says an insider.
