Kathie Lee Gifford appeared to make a slip on Thursday, revealing that Hoda Kotb was recently considered for another job at "Today."
Rachel Sklar reported the curious exchange. She and co-host Hoda Kotb were discussing a new study about competitiveness. Hoda asked whether two best friends should compete for the same job. She began, "What if you’re in a business, and there’s one job that comes open, and you and your friend are both —"
"Well, that has recently happened around here and I was extremely happy for you!" Gifford interjected. Kotb turned to the camera looking befuddled. Gifford continued, "When you were considered for something wonderful. I'm happy for you! If the person’s a friend — you're thrilled for them!"
Kotb nodded and agreed, before wondering, "How did we get there?" Watch the conversation at the 7:35 mark in the clip above.
Though Savannah Guthrie was widely rumored to replace Ann Curry and was ultimately chosen for the job, there was also speculation that NBC News would promote Kotb to the top spot. At the time of the reports, however, she said, "I'm actually joyful where I am."
