Hoda Kotb Tears Up While Discussing Frank Gifford's Death

Hoda Kotb gave a touching tribute to the late Frank Gifford during a segment on The Today Show on Monday morning (August 10).

The 51-year-old television personality has been the host of the fourth hour of the morning show alongside Frank‘s wife Kathie Lee Gifford since 2007.

“Kath said something to me yesterday. She said, ‘This is not a tragedy.’ I was holding her hand, and she said, ‘A 4-year-old girl having cancer is a tragedy,’” Hoda said. “She said Frank lived to be almost 85. She said he lived an incredible life, has an incredible family and an incredible legacy. She said his life is a triumph.”
