hoda kotb : the bomb dot com

nymag asked hoda-woman a few nyc-centric questions in anticipation of the release of her memoirs (she'll be discussing and signing at the tribeca barnes & noble on wednesday, the 13th, jicywtg). she is just the cutest, here are some of her answers that i liked:

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day in your job?
Laugh and scratch and occasionally drink.


Do you give money to panhandlers?
Yes.


What's your drink?
Champagne.


How much is too much to spend on a haircut?
Come on... Can you really put a price on weather sensitive hair???


Who is your mortal enemy?
My alarm clock. It goes off at 4 A.M.


What makes someone a New Yorker?
Someone who tells it like it is... and makes you laugh while they are doing it.

i think that last answer is perfect. i just love her.
