Snake Has Special Surprise for Hoda and Kathie Lee

There has been an unusual and not-so-adorable trend plaguing Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on the set of "Today." It seems the animals visiting the pair get so excited that they have trouble controlling themselves, specifically their bladders. A few weeks back, a visiting wolf left his mark on the set, urinating on the floor near the end of the segment. Now snakes are having incontinence issues too.

This week, animal handler David Mizejewski brought a large, yellow python to the show to get cozy with the duo. Both Gifford and Kotb gave the snake a timid pat in place of hand shakes, but the reptile's response was a little less cordial. Shortly after being introduced, the python unleashed its bladder in front of the unsuspecting ladies. This guest won't be receiving a return invitation.

Maybe if they didn't both act so terrified of every animal brought onto the show the animals wouldn't feel the need to cover up the smell of fear so much. Doesn't matter what the animals, or if it's a baby or an adult, they freak out about EVERYTHING. I just don't get it. I would love to get so close to some of those aimals, and DID get my picture taken petting a crocodile (or alligator? I can never remember which is which) during a convention once.

If it didn't hurt the animal I would say go ahead and eat her ;), although I am sure the animals are far less enthused about encountering Kathie Lee. WHY and HOW is she still on TV! She's so obnoxious.

These two are constantly showing distaste for animals brought on the show.They just don't realize how distasteful they themselves are. They think it is cute to make fun of the Animals. Don't allow animals on that show except for the two that are already there.

Everyone don't have to be animal lover. Bringing the animals on the show is for the viewers. " Like your self "

These two constantly show there distaste for most animals brought on the set.They just don't realize how distasteful they themselves are.Hoda stands about six feet away from most animals that are brought on the set you can see the distaste on her face. They need to stop bringing animals on for them just to make fun off.

Animals urinating on Kathie Lee and Hoda? So? That's EXACTLY what I'd like to do.

What a complete waste of human protoplasm.

I don't know why animal people waste their time with tv hosts like these two. They are so spazzy, no wonder the animals get nervous and let their bladders and bowels fly. Jay Leno is the only host who isn't a complete idiot around animals and he is a pleasure to watch!
