Hoda Kotb and Laura Jarrett discuss the celebs they’re mistaken for: ‘You kind of have the smile’

Hoda Kotb and Laura Jarrett have celebrity doppelgängers, just like the rest of us.
While discussing a Timothée Chalamet look-alike competition that took place over the weekend, Hoda and Laura talked about the celebrities people have mistaken them for over the years.
“People say you look like one person in particular. I don’t see it, but you get it a fair amount,” Laura, who was filling in for Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna on Oct. 28, said.
“Well, I always get Gayle King. People often ask me, ‘How’s your bestie, Oprah?'” Hoda replied.
The fourth hour co-host has mentioned this on several occasions in the past. In 2016, Hoda discussed her resemblance to King on air and said, “I think there are some similarities.”
Still, Laura wasn’t convinced that she looks like King.
“But I don’t see it,” she said.
“We kind of have — it depends. There’s a lot. People see it,” Hoda noted.

Then it was Laura’s turn to share the celebrities people think she looks like.
“Who do you get? Let’s go!” Hoda said.
“In the past, Paula Patton,” Laura said.
Hoda could definitely see the resemblance between the journalist and actor and said, “Oh you do look like Paula!”

Laura went on to name Meghan Markle as another celebrity people have compared her to. When a split-screen photo of Laura and Markle appeared, Hoda said, “Oh God, it’s all happening!”
Singer Alicia Keys was the last celebrity look-alike Laura mentioned, and Hoda said, “You have all of that,” and motioned to her face.
“I mean, I will take all of them,” Laura replied, referring to all three celebrities.

As she examined a split-screen photo of Laura and Keys, Hoda called out one facial feature they have in common.
“By the way, look at that. You kind of have the smile,” she said.
“See?” Laura said and smirked.
