CLEVELAND — While Danita Harris officially joined the GO! morning team at WKYC last week, she had her first opportunity to talk with our TODAY show friends Al Roker and Hoda Kotb on Tuesday morning -- and it was a great moment filled with a very warm welcome.

“Danita, it is so nice to meet you,” Roker said during his weekly appearance with 3News. “My sister, Alisa, who lives in Shaker, is so thrilled that you have joined the 3 team because she loves you -- and I know Cleveland loves you.”

In closing, Roker told Danita he’s looking forward to talking with her on GO! every Tuesday morning, while adding “I can’t wait to meet you in person the next time I’m in Cleveland.”

Harris gave the love right back.

“Thanks for all the love from the TODAY crew,” she said. “I really appreciate it. It feels good here. Feels good. Thank you.”
