1. They make me laugh. And not just any old type of laughing, but the kind I like best–“they-are-so-outrageous-in-making-totally-valid-commentary-about-life”type of laughing.
2. They know how to make fun of themselves. This is a VERY important component of being fabulous. It is NOT fabulous to be a total b*tch on wheels anytime someone brings up one of your shortcoming. It IS fabulous to understand your shortcomings well enough that you can bring them up yourself! The light sprinkling of self-depreciation in the 10 AM-11 AM hour makes them extra funny and relatable.
3. They always look pulled together. And hot. Nough said.
4. They are honest with each other and everyone else that comes onto the show. The ability to be honest (especially in a way that is sharp and funny) is totally, endlessly fabulous.
5. They make their own fun. No matter how silly the subject, these ladies have a blast. They relate well to each other and have a totally powerful chemistry that makes you want to be involved in whatever they are doing.
Let’s raise a (10 AM) glass to these queens of total fabulous! We love you, Hoda and Kathy Lee!!
