The Kathie Lee & Hoda Show

    Drink for Thought >> "You look like you're keeping the Pinot Grigio industry alive and well," guest host Billy Bush quipped while filling in for Kathie Lee, to which Kotb ably lobbed: "Honey, you have know idea how much sheeee was drinking." [Source: Gawker]

    The Wine Rack >> Gifford gets a kick out of insinuating Kotb has healthy appetite for alcohol, so she recently gave her a wine-filled bra. "You never have to leave home without it ... and it is champagne, because that's your drink of choice." Then, after admitting she's just joshing around, she lands another: "She rarely, rarely finishes ... more than a bottle." [Source: Gawker]

    Gifford also enjoys tweaking Kotb's single status, and she recently turned a segment featuring a dating self-help guru into a standup routine. It's best to just watch: [Source: Gawker]

On Wednesday's show, Gifford and Kotb welcomed crooner Harry Connick Jr. to the coffee table where they proceeded to joke about being in a Harry Sandwich with the two revved-up hosts as the pieces of bread. "You've got white and rye," Gifford said.
"I like my bread!" Connick said while rubbing his hands. Kotb, an Egyptian-American, giggled with delight.
The unabashed flirting continued during the segment, and the pair decided to toss out the cue cards altogether.
"He's comfortable in his own gorgeous skin," Gifford offered. Watch >>
New York Magazine compiled some other choice moments from the fourth hour flirts, starting with Gifford's comments, followed by Kotb's reaction:
"Oh, yeah. That?s the kind of guy I want to impregnate my daughter."-- KLG on Levi Johnston, upon hearing Hoda read his profanity-laced MySpace profile.HODA FACE: Amusement. This was actually a good line.

"Once that thing does a facial too, it?s mine."-- KLG on a remote-control bidet.HODA FACE: Queasy-looking eye-bulge.

"Put twelve gay guys together like that, you?re gonna have some problems!"-- KLG?s analysis of a new movie about a Christian "ex-gay" deprogramming center. HODA FACE: Moving on ?
