Last night, Cleveland Brown called out Hoda Kotb as a former stalker of his on 'The Cleveland Show.' This morning on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC), Kathie Lee Gifford said the reference meant Kotb had finally "made it."

"This is when you know you're getting big, Hoda woman," said Gifford, "when you're referenced during some sort of commentary of contemporary life."

That might be overstating things a bit. The clip from 'The Cleveland Show' shows Brown talking to a woman who is worried she looks like a stalker. Brown jokes that his last stalker killed herself on his doorstep before saying he was kidding, that she was on the 'Today' show now. He then looks into the camera and says, "Stay away from me, Hoda."

That's not exactly zeitgeist, but it was enough of an excuse for Gifford to bring up the fact the Kotb has enjoyed dating fat guys. Kotb said it was just because it makes her look thin.
