Hey there, friends! Let’s dive into a fun moment from the Today show where Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager had a lighthearted chat about their unique styles. It was one of those moments that reminded us just how much we love these two for their wit and charm. The conversation took a playful turn when Jenna poked fun at Hoda’s signature scent, and Hoda returned the favor with a cheeky comment about Jenna’s wardrobe.
Hoda’s Signature Scent Gets a Playful Shout-Out
It was a Monday morning, August 26, when Jenna, who’s now 42, joked about Hoda’s, well, let’s call it her "signature scent." Jenna teased that Hoda, who’s 60, “runs a marathon here every morning,” referring to Hoda’s refreshing habit of spritzing herself with her favorite fragrance. Now, if you’re a fan of Hoda’s Instagram, you know she loves to document her early-morning workouts, inspiring her followers to get moving. But here’s the thing—despite her early workouts, Hoda always looks effortlessly put together by the time she hits the airwaves. Not a drop of sweat in sight!
Jenna’s Style Gets a Playful Nod
Later in the segment, the conversation shifted gears to Jenna’s personal style. Hoda couldn’t help but compliment Jenna’s effortless chic, saying, “I think your style is kind of your signature. It can be very easy breezy, and it can also be sophisticated, but almost like you don’t care.” Jenna, who’s a mom to three adorable kids—Mila, Poppy, and Hal with husband Henry Hager—laughed it off, quipping, “Is that because I have mustard spilled right here?” Classic Jenna! She’s known for her self-deprecating humor, and this moment was no exception.

A Fun Moment with Pretzels
Speaking of fun moments, remember when Jenna rubbed a soft pretzel all over her arm during a segment about a new pretzel-scented perfume from Auntie Anne’s? That moment sent the internet into a frenzy, and it’s exactly why we love Jenna—she’s not afraid to have a little fun and laugh at herself. Hoda even joked about it, asking, “Who is this girl?” while watching Jenna put the pretzel on her arm during the August 16 episode. Jenna just laughed it off, saying, “The best part is you knew it was coming!” And Hoda replied, “I knew it!”
A Playful Barbecue Banter
Fast forward a few days later, and Jenna called out Hoda for not inviting her to a barbecue at her house. Jenna asked Hoda if she was participating in the “year of the dinner party.” Hoda admitted, “I don’t think, except I have had a barbecue at my house. I don’t think I’ve actually had a dinner party.” Jenna was quick to respond, “Well, I just, when did you have a barbecue? None of us [were invited].” Jenna didn’t stop there. She went ahead and asked the crew members if they were invited to Hoda’s house for the barbecue. “Hey Talia, were you invited to her barbecue? No? Hey Gavin, were you invited to the barbecue? Yeah Sean, what about you? No?” Jenna said, as Hoda giggled beside her. It was a hilarious moment that reminded us how much these two enjoy each other’s company.
Hoda’s Paris Adventure
Just recently, Hoda returned home from hosting Today in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, while Jenna stayed back in the studio on the East Coast. Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, and Craig Melvin were the lucky ones chosen to accompany Hoda overseas for NBC’s coverage of the sporting events. But some insiders were left scratching their heads over the decision to include Snoop Dogg and others but leave Jenna out. “This development has fueled rumors of potential changes in the show’s lineup,” an insider told Closer on August 18. “This was without doubt a huge snub!”
So there you have it, folks! Hoda and Jenna continue to charm us with their banter, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next. Whether it’s about style, barbecues, or even pretzels, these two keep the morning talk show lively and engaging. Cheers to Hoda and Jenna for keeping us entertained!
