Hoda Kotb and Laura Jarrett Discuss Their Celebrity Doppelgangers on the TODAY Show

Hoda Kotb and Laura Jarrett, like the rest of us, have celebrity doppelgangers.

During the discussion Timothée Chalamet Lookalike Competition This weekend, Hoda and Laura talked about the celebrities people have mistaken them for over the years.

“People say you look like the same person. I don’t see it, but you get it a fair bit,” said Laura, who filled in for Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna on Oct. 28.

“Well, I always get Gayle King. People often ask me, “How is your best friend?” Oprah? – Hoda replied.

Fourth hour co-host mentioned this several times in the past. In 2016, Hoda discussed her resemblance to King on air and said, “I think there are some similarities.”

However, Laura wasn’t sure if she was like King.

“But I don’t see it,” she said.

“We seem to have it – it depends on the situation. There are many of them. People see it,” Hoda said.

Then it was Laura’s turn to reveal what celebrities think she looks like.

“Who are you getting? Let’s go!” Hoda said.

“Formerly Paula Patton,” Laura said.

Hoda definitely saw the similarities between the journalist and the actor and said, “Oh, you look like Paula!”

Laura named Meghan Markle as another celebrity she has been compared to. When a split-screen photo of Laura and Markle appeared, Hoda said, “Oh my God, this is all happening!”

Singer Alicia Keys was the latest celebrity lookalike Laura mentioned, and Hoda said, “You’ve got it all,” and pointed at her face.

“I mean, I’ll take them all,” Laura replied, referring to all three celebrities.

Studying a split-screen photo of Laura and Keys, Hoda identified one common facial feature.

“By the way, look at this. You have such a smile,” she said.

“See?” – Laura said and grinned.
