[edit] Trivia

  • While in New Orleans, Hoda was well liked around the community, and attracted a crush from a character called "Moss Man". During the first Mardi Gras she covered with the station, she was wearing a Cleopatra outfit, a nod to her Egyptian heritage, and suddenly, The Moss Man came and picked her up!
  • When she first joined NBC, the network changed the spelling of her name to "Kotbe" to make it more easily pronouncable to viewers. She has since reverted to the original Egyptian spelling of her name.
  • Kotb married her long-time boyfriend in a ceremony in the Dominican Republic in December 2005.
  • Kotb was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority at Virginia Tech.
