It's no secret that Hoda Kotb's job as a longtime news anchor comes with its fair share of perks, and she just had her dreamiest one come true.
The longtime Today Show host, along with much of her NBC family, including Savannah Guthrie , Al Roker , and Craig Melvin , among others, are in Paris for the 2024 Olympics and the network's sporting extravaganza.
Speaking from Today's set at the Trocadéro on Monday, July 29, the hosts got to talking about what it was like for Hoda to finally get the picture she'd been wanting with the Mission Impossible star.
"It was a moment that none of us will forget," Savannah said, noting that it was almost midnight, when Hoda "[came] back and she's like, 'Guys, I got the shot.'"
"Soaking wet Tom Cruise and Hoda in her poncho," she further joked about the rainy, but still epic, photo.
Hoda's co-host Jenna Bush Hager had a similar joke in store; sharing how their own conversation about it went, Hoda said: "I said I always kind of dreamed of this moment, and she said, 'Did your dream include a terrible poncho?'"
Hoda also shared the photo to her Instagram, writing in her caption: "Do you know when you dream of meeting Tom Cruise… And then it finally happens," and fans and colleagues alike were quick to take to the comments section to rave about it.
"Omg not how you saw that one coming. So good," Good Morning America anchor Lara Spencer wrote with a red heart emoji, as others followed suit with: "I love it! ONLY HODA could look beaming beautiful in a full poncho with a hood!" and: "Poncho for the absolute gold medal," as well as: "You look adorable!! @hodakotb thank you for making the entire Olympics experience so exciting!!"
The Olympics kicked off on July 26, and will run through Sunday, August 11. So far, the U.S. has earned three gold medals, and 12 in total, two for swimming, and one for fencing.
