Hoda Kotb is clearing up any confusion regarding those Kelly Clarkson talk show rumors. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, June 5, Kotb, 60, was asked by an audience member about the recent reports suggesting she was going to be replacing Clarkson, 43, on her eponymous daytime talk show.

Kotb responded, "I'm a never-say-never person. You don't know what life's gonna bring you. But, at this moment, I'm having such fun with the ride that I'm on."

The former Today anchor also acknowledged that TV was her "first love." Kotb said goodbye to her anchor position on the Today show in January after 17 years.

Kotb's comments come after she told PEOPLE last month that she stepped down from her Today role because her daughter, Hope, 6, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2023.
