Halo, uh,

on her failing, flailing brand.

If only Meghan Markle still had Confessions of a Female Flounder, who to copy would slot right in there, okay?

I'm going to also reference, so this Daily Mail story, this was the headline on January 23rd, and I think they picked up the nerve segment, and then they kicked the ball down a little bit further

down the road because they got some quotes from NBC staff.

Here's the headline.

Hoda Kotb mercilessly mocked by NBC staff.

Insiders slam her as, quote, perpetual pest, brutal.

They, quote, just want to go away as her exhausting demands are laid bare, per the article.

NBC sources have been mocking the crack of dawn interview with Savannah, largely filmed in darkness as a disastrous start for Kotb.

Even Hoda doesn't really know what this is, one insider admitted.

The staff at Today call her a perpetual pest.

She quit.

And now she keeps begging favors and everyone's over it.

A second source, an NBC producer, was even more blunt.

Is that possible?

Quote, the staff are sick of it.

It's not their job to find content for Hoda's app.

They're burned out working for NBC News and just want her to go away.

Boy, this is like some really pent up tension.
