Kelly said: “That was what was also so special was every time he was out of town he would always try to… he would work so hard.
“He always loved to sleep in, but when he was away he’d always try to, he would go to bed at 2 and then wake up at 4 so he could be on the 6am flight so he could come home just so we could spend time together.”
As Kelly recalled the fond memory of her late husband, Hoda began emotional as she wiped a tear away from her eye.
Kelly continued: “He valued every single second that we had together, so that’s why, you know, this is so heartbreaking.
“But at the same time, I know that every second that we had together was just maximized to the fullest.”

The grieving widow added that “there was nothing left unsaid and nothing left on the table.”
Earlier in the interview, Kelly said the outpouring love and support for her and Bob has gotten her through the difficult time.
Noting the late comedian was known to making those in his life feel special, she said: “Anyone he met and even spent any time with at all, he told them he loved them endlessly and tirelessly. And that was his entire message.
“If you knew Bob, and he loved you, you knew it. There was never, ever a doubt in your mind.”
THEIR FINAL CONVERSATION
Kelly also opened up about her final conversation with Bob.
She said: “I think I said, ‘I love you dearly,’ and he said, ‘I love you endlessly.'”
“I said, ‘I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.’ And then, you know, it was just all very — it was just all love.”
