.JennaBushHager says that her big career break wouldn’t have been possible without hodakotb.
, the hosts were discussing their big career break, and Hager got emotional as she revealed that Kotb was to thank for hers."I kind of thought that I was gonna get a job right away. I remember the first time I got rejected to my face I was so surprised, because I had a tape, I went to college, here's my stuff," Kotb, 57, said. "He was like, 'Well, you're too green. You're not experienced. Go to this next guy.' So he gave me another guy.
The experience was a tough one for Kotb, who admitted,"There is a point when you get so many that your whole self-esteem goes down the toilet. You start thinking, 'I made a mistake. All these people can't be wrong.'""You just need one person to say you can do it. My one guy's name was Stan Sandroni. He was in Greenville, Mississippi. He hired me when no one else would. I'll never forget it," she said."... This guy believed, and that's so shocking.
"I know that sounds cheesy and I almost didn't say it, but I was here for years doing a lot of different things. I worked really hard. I had producers say, 'You're a correspondent. That's where you are.' That was good. That's where I wanted to be. I wanted to tell stories," 39-year-old Hager said through tears."And you asked me to fill in with you, and I'll never forget it. My one was you.
