The 27th annual ceremony took place in New York City.
Hoda ended up winning the award while at the event.
Winners are asked to give five-word acceptance speeches when they receive an award.
“OK, here are my five,” Hoda said when she came on stage.
She exclaimed her five words: “Listen. Love, love, love. Bye!”
Hoda was clad in a tight black leather dress that accentuated her curves.
The lengthy frock hugged her frame and made her the center of attention.
She paired the dress with minimalistic jewelry and toned-down makeup.
The leather look did all the talking for Hoda, so additional accessories weren’t a must.
Hoda also shared a few snaps to her Instagram from the night.
SHe captioned her photo set: “Team #makingspace Congrats @missalib @minkat88 @soundslikebry on the @thewebbyawards! Oh hi @traceeellisross congrats to you too!”
SUMMER HODA
Meanwhile, Hoda was spotted dancing at the Jonas Brothers’ live concert to kick off the network’s summer Citi Concert Series.
Hoda danced around in a brightly colored tank top and skintight flare jeans as fans praised her for her moves and excited energy.
In a clip shared on the network, Hoda introduced the popular boy band.
She then took to the crowd to whip her mic around and dance and sing with the live guests.
Today took to its Instagram page to post Hoda hyping up the crowd for the Jonas Brothers’ live performance.
Hoda interacted with fans outdoors and got ready to dance.
Fans poured into the Instagram comments to praise their favorite host.
One posted: “She is the best.”
Another said: “Love Hoda’s outfit!”
A third commented: “Her enthusiasm is contagious.”
Yet a fourth chimed in: “Hoda is just pure joy!”
‘ONE STEP AT A TIME’
Although Hoda is all-joy on screen, she’s been helping her three-year-old daughter Hope with health struggles back home.
Hoda spoke to The U.S. Sun exclusively and disclosed her youngest daughter had struggled with a medical crisis that landed her in the Intensive Care Unit earlier this year.
“She’s doing better. She is on the mend, and we are taking it one step at a time,” the gracious host revealed to The U.S. Sun.
The mother of two gave the update following a brief trip to New Orleans where she and her Third Hour co-host Jenna Bush Hager filmed Hoda and Jenna.
Hoda said of the work trip: “For me, it’s like going home. It’s one of my favorite cities on earth. It was magical, we walked in and it sort of it’s almost like I feel like grown-ups don’t get a chance to let loose.”
“I feel like it’s always top buttons buttoned, you’re always stressed. But do you remember before mortgages, and the water bill? That person gets a chance to live for a day. So that’s what happened in New Orleans,” Hoda added.
The U.S. Sun previously revealed that Hoda is only taking on necessary trips for work and attending exceedingly meaningful events.
An insider said that the TV star has otherwise scaled back on the extra speaking engagements that she normally would participate in as she focuses on her daughters.
TAKING A STEP BACK
One insider told The U.S. Sun last week that Hoda’s priorities underwent a major shift after her youngest daughter fell seriously ill, which took her away from her seat at Today for nearly three weeks.
“Hoda is a very hands-on mother and she doesn’t want to leave Today, but she has been reconfiguring her approach to work so that she is able to focus more on her daughters,” the source said.
Hoda has been retooling her workload after Hope’s health complications landed her in the ICU.
“When your child falls ill, it changes your life. She is looking to scale back on the ways she is working.”
The insider added: “She isn’t taking on the extra events and speeches that have been meaningful to her unless they are absolutely necessary or exceedingly special.”
