‘Today’s Hoda Kotb Stunned To Learn That TSA PreCheck Is The Best Place To Meet Men: “That Man Has Been Vetted By The Government”
It’s always a fun day on Today when Hoda Kotb gets to dish on her love life.
During Friday’s (Aug. 30) broadcast, the NBC host was joined by Today contributor and E! News host Justin Sylvester as her usual co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, was off for the day. Sylvester and Kotb kicked off the broadcast by discussing what they were looking for in a partner — and the places in New York City where they should be searching.
Kotb shared a report from the New York Post claiming single women are going to the Whole Foods in Tribeca to pick up single men. But Sylvester wasn’t buying it.
“First of all, girl, Whole Foods? The only man at Whole Foods has been sent there by his wife to pick up organic carrots for baby Riley,” Sylvester said, causing Kotb to laugh. “You are at the wrong store! Get your butt to Erewhon.”
Kotb wasn’t familiar with Erewhon, which Sylvester described as “the hottest new grocery store.”
“… And it’s expensive,” he said. “So if a man is paying $25 for a bag of almonds, he definitely got some money. And he is single, okay? Single.”
Kotb then asked “where else” single women could look for a man “beyond the grocery store.”
“The TSA PreCheck,” Sylvester said with a dramatic look directly into the camera. “I told y’all.”
Kotb once again could not hold back her laughter as Sylvester explained, “If you get a man in TSA PreCheck that means that man has been vetted by the government and he can walk through. And if you really want to find a good man… you go to the Delta Sky Lounge because it’s so hard to get into that thing!”
Kotb has been open about her romantic life on Today and has shared several steamy and wild stories (including the time she made out with a guy in a furniture store). In fact, Bush Hager even named her the show’s “sex guru.”
Kotb revealed during an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show that she recently stopped seeing a man after three dates.
“I did go on the third date, but I did kind of decide in that space, because this person, who’s a lovely human being, has a lot of things that are being worked out that I think I’m looking for more kind of simplicity,” she said.
“I think when you reach a phase like I was very much a fixer in life … sometimes you’re like, you know what, let’s just pause that instinct because that is my instinct,” she said.
Today with Hoda & Jenna airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
