- Kotb appeared on Clarkson’s show on June 2 to promote her wellness brand and praised Clarkson as being “in a class all by herself,” while stating TV remains her first love.
- Kotb expressed an open-minded attitude toward talk shows, describing herself as someone who doesn't rule anything out, and mentioned she would consider returning to the Today show if she decided to host on TV again.
