Hoda Kotb, at exactly 5ft 9 (175.3 cm), is an American television presenter whose statuesque height defines her vibrant on-screen image and commanding presence.
Embracing her height, she loves strappy sandals and chunk-heel shoes, declaring, "I wear them even though I'm 5-foot-9. I want to tower over [co-host] Kathie Lee." This confidence shines in her role co-hosting the fourth hour of the Today show, first alongside Kathie Lee Gifford and later Jenna Bush Hager.
Key career highlights include her work as a Dateline NBC correspondent, authorship, and status as a broadcast journalism icon, all amplified by her towering 5ft 9 frame.
