The Duo Was A Hit Among Fans
Luckily, viewers adored this new duo. On their trial run, Guthrie and Kotb worked together to beat the rival show Good Morning America in terms of ratings for one straight month. You would never have known it, but Kotb was actually going through a lot of personal difficulties at the time. Soon enough, the TV star would get news that turned everything upside down for her.
Her Ambition Was Always There
Before then, Kotb had been a healthy person. She had always been ambitious too. In the mid-‘80s, she went to Virginia Tech University to take up broadcast journalism. It was when she started her college radio career at WUVT. When she finished her degree, she was able to get a job in the field at CBS.
