“Everyone Has a Story” Will Push Hoda To The Brink of Insanity

It’s become something of a morning ritual to watch the 4th hour of The Today Show, otherwise known as The Kathie Lee and Hoda Hour. This can become something of a problem when I find myself hungover, as I did this morning, and Kathie Lee decides to air one of her notorious “Everyone Has a Story” segments. Why, you ask? Simple. Because the “Everyone Has a Story” segments can cause spontaneous barfing in a fairly sober person. Add a hangover into that mix, and what you’ve got, my friends, is trouble.

And so was the case this morning, as I found my head in a vice made out of bad musical theater and dreaded inspiration lyrics. We plead with you to watch the following song — which, as you probably know, was co-written by Kathie Lee herself — only do so while banging your head with a meat tenderizer.

But the absolute best part about the following clip are the reaction shots. First, you get Hoda, side-glancing the camera Michael Scott style while Kathie is rocking back and forth loving every second of her genius. You’ll want to cut to the 2 minute mark for that one. And make SURE to watch out for this kid, who sums up my reaction PERFECTLY with this face:

A better face we have never seen. See if you can make it through the entire 3 and a half minutes. You’ll definitely need 3 shots of whiskey to make it happen, but try.
