(Dec. 4) - Perhaps Kathie Lee Gifford doesn't think anyone watches the fourth hour of the "Today" show, but the perky morning host has been creating some interesting moments lately with co-host Hoda Kotb as her sidekick.

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]

A Crooner for Breakfast >> "You've got white and rye," Gifford said to explain the contents of one of their latest treats: the Harry Sandwich. [Source: Gawker]

On 'Twilight' >> "I see what appeals to the young girls about it. We're such a sex saturated society. And young girls at that point are not interested in sex so much, unless you're a total tramp and you know who you are ... They're interested in romance." [Source: Defamer]

On Having to Tussle With Beyonce's People to Get Access to the Singer >> "Don't ever take on a post-menopausal woman ... you're gonna lose." [Source: Defamer]

Best. Chef. Ever. >>It's the classic moment when a TV chef berated both Gifford and Kotb for constantly interrupted him when trying to make a salad, ordering them to "pay attention for a minute." [Source: Gawker]

Imitating a Chinese Person, on the Air >> "And then Al got on, speaking in his Chinese dialect, basically said 'You married to old man!'" [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 …

I don't know what's happened to Hoda... She was a respectable reporter before she started workin' with that stupid Kathy Lee.... Now she acts like a silly school girl.....all giggly without a brain in her head..... she has lost all credibility and the silliness is unbecomin' of someone who used to act like a mature adult...... I am so disappointed and embarassed for Hoda; she has become the epitome of silliness and banality.... Kathy Lee she is a washed up old woman that flirts with anyone ...male or female... you can tell she is not gettin' any sex at all.. stupid... I have quit watchin' the last hour...

Retire the old hag, let her go home to Cody and Cass and the Old Man. Enough is enough she is an embarrassment.

I don't know what's happened to Hoda. She was a respectable reporter before she started working with that silly Kathy Lee. Now she acts like a silly school girl; all giggly without a brain in her head. I don't understand;she has lost all credibility and the silliness is unbecoming of someone who used to act like a mature adult. You expect this from Kathy Lee; she is a silly air head but not from Hoda.I am so disappointed for Hoda and embarassed for Hoda; she has become the epitome of silliness and banality. Such a waste of talent!

Kathie Lee is AWFUL. Hoda was always and still great, I truley feel sorry she must work with KL. They need to replace Kathie immediately. She is crude and rank. Who needs it at that time of morning? I have quit watching the show all together as I don't want to hear the noise of her voice while I'm working in my home. Please remove Kathie Lee. Plus Matt is so full of himself and can be incredible rude to some guests (Laura Bush for example).
