Posted: Mon May 13, 2013 9:48 pm
To wrap up the special Children's Miracle Network Hospitals week the audience is wearing custom-made red T-shirts. BAM is donating $10,000 for each contestant who reaches Round 2; thus far they have donated $30,000. Today two special contestants hope to add a lot more - Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. They "booze it up" on the 4th hour of "Today" - each day is a separate emphasis. Meredith asks if they have had anything to drink today and Kathie Lee says "it's none of your business." Hoda reminds Meredith of the times that she boozed it up with them. The Children's Miracle Network was started by John Schneider and Marie Osmond. Hoda says it's a first-class operation. They are guaranteed $10,000 for appearing.
