This was such an incredible interview. I like these kinds of interviews more than celebrity interviews.

I really loved this interview. I so surprised, when Katie said, during health trials, they didn’t differentiate between men and women. You could have easily done a 3 hour interview with Katie. Well done Alex❤️🥰🇨🇦

This was so good! What an incredible interview. I cried during the talk about 9-11. It still hits me hard even though it was 25 years ago, it feels like yesterday.

I quite literally grew up watching the news as soon as I got out of bed. My parents had it on the TV and it was a casual routine to roll out of bed, shuffle to the living room, and sit and see Katie. But I still feel so close to Katie as she was like…my anchor? So great to see her. Loved this interview so much.

I am 65 and we were watching The Today Show in southern CA as 9/11 was going down. We have watched The Today show daily for the past 28 years. Katie is by far the best Today show anchor. She's fun and so real and authentic!! Her banter with Matt Lauer was amazing, i loved when she came back for a week to fill in, maybe when Savannah had a baby? That week was so fun and entertaining. Too bad Matt's chapter ended poorly. I follow Katie on YouTube, but i really try not to listen to too much news anymore. Too depressing!! Love Katie's stories, she's not afraid to name names. 😊💙🩵💛💚🧡🩷🙏🏼✨️✨️✨️keep sparkling Katie!!
