Hoda Kotb recently addressed speculation that she may take over the Kelly Clarkson Show.
The seasoned TV personality appeared on the June 5 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
When questioned about replacing Kelly on her daytime talk program, Hoda declined to confirm or refute the claim.
She commented, "I feel like Kelly is in a class all by herself. I mean, my entire issue with talk programs and all that is. "I am a 'never say never' person."
"You don't know what life's going to bring you but at this moment I'm having such fun with the ride that I'm on," says the 60-year-old.
However, Hoda said that TV is her "first love, so as I say in life, you don't know".
Elsewhere on the episode, the broadcast journalist who quit Today's presenting role revealed her thoughts on top prospective contenders to succeed her, including Jenna Bush Hager.
After Hoda departed the program, Jenna relaunched the fourth hour as Today With Jenna & Friends, and has since been joined by cohosts such as Scarlett Johansson, Taraji P. Henson, Keke Palmer, Amy Poehler, Dwyane Wade, and others.
"Anybody would be really lucky. But, in my opinion, Savannah Guthrie is a strong contender; I believe she would be excellent. She told Andy, "I think Justin Sylvester is amazing."
Meanwhile, Hoda agreed with Andy that she admired the actress' performance as a temporary replacement.
"Scarlett crushed it." "She said it was her favorite job," continued the television journalist.
