Last year I was getting on the subway and Hoda was getting off and I reflexively said, “Hi, Hoda!” She beamed her 1000 watt smile at me and said, “Hi, honey!” so yeah, Hoda fan for life, here.

I agree, I have had nothing but wonderful experiences at The Today Show. They are so nice and welcoming, always so engaged by whatever it is we are presenting. Al is the best, so kind. I loved your nostalgic Today Show post. x

Well now I have to quiz the 20-somethings I work with to find out if they know Parker Posey. I KNOW they are all watching White Lotus.

I saw you this week on the Today Show and cheered aloud because I am a Today Show nut and a major fan of yours, so like I got two fave things together! My yogurt and I are very happy whenever you are on. Speaking of -- Party Girl, omg. Loved that film. And Brett and I are both glad that Parker Posey is back in the zeitgeist, especially bc our kids didn't know who she was either until now. BUT NOW THEY DO.

You were awesome on the show this morning with great book suggestions! And also, tears here too about reading to babies…mine turns 30 on Monday *brain explodes*.

Being very clearly not a New Yorker, I helped Parker Posey once and literally blurted out I LOVE YOU. She was, of course, charming and excellent.

Emma, this was a really fun read! The pic of you and your mom is adorable. I say that as a mom of two daughters around your age. 🥰 We are so looking forward to your new book. Soon, I hope!

This is all so fantastic! Just so happy for you. I hardly ever watch morning TV, or news, because AAGGGRH, but I'm so excited for you to get all this great press.

Gah. I loved this. So full of joy. The only thing was those Today show mugs/cups. Those are way too small!

Parker! Posey! I don't think I'd be able to avoid jumping up and down in her presence. I'm jumping up and down right now just thinking about this encounter.
