Drew Brees Contributes $5 Million to Louisiana For Corona Relief!

Hoda Kotb was teary-eyed on Friday’s “Today” show when they interviewed NFL star Drew Brees as he gave a sum $5 million to Louisiana for the COVID-19 outbreak.

Kotb stated: “A lot of things are contagious, including generosity. Our hope is that because you let us know you made this big, generous donation, I think other people look and say, ‘Hey, maybe I can help out, too.”

She also added that: “Drew, we love ya,” she finished up; pivoting to tell the audience there was “a lot more” before she got emotional.

May sound weird, but Hoda Kotb crying on the @TODAYshow after interviewing Drew Brees was what I needed this morning. She kept apologizing. She didn’t need to. We’re all in this, and it’s hurting us all.
