‘Today’ Surprises Ellie Kemper With Motherly Love

Ellie Kemper has settled in nicely as a summer guest host on Today. Her infectious energy has been well received by the rest of the cast, and after a lovely tribute to the actress’ appearances on the show her fellow anchors had an additional surprise for her: a phone call from her mother. Dottie Kemper is a big fan of Today, but her daughter being a summer staple of the show didn’t stop her from giving a few tips to the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star.
