Jenna Bush Hager And Hoda Kotb Say They Are Sorry To Kathie Lee Gifford On ‘Today:’ ‘We Want To Apologize About The Drama’

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb apologized to Kathie Lee Gifford for discussing the rumors of her potentially joining The Golden Bachelorette on an earlier episode of Today.

(If you’ll recall, there has been speculation that Kathie Lee could appear on the Golden Bachelor spin-off for quite a while now – much to the delight of her fans! – although nothing has been confirmed.)

“Kathie, we want to apologize about the drama surrounding The Golden Bachelorette, but we stand by the fact that we think you’d be the best Golden Bachelorette of all time,” Jenna told Kathie Lee, 70, when she appeared on the Tuesday, March 26th episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna alongside her daughter Cassidy.

So what did Jenna, 42, and Hoda, 59, previously say about the possibility of Kathie Lee joining the show?

“Oh, you never know! She might!” Hoda speculated on the February 12th episode, adding: “By the way, she would be a 10 plus and she’d get her choice of all the men, and you know how she is all flirty and cute.”
