When Hoda Kotb was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, she says she found a newfound 'fearless' attitude that helped her land her current role on the fourth hour of TODAY. The TODAY with Hoda & Jenna co-host shared the inspiring story on Thursday while chatting about a new interview where Julia Louis Dreyfus said she's 'living more mindfully' after beating cancer several years ago.
