Jenna Bush Hager was left stunned when her latest guest co-host discussed their marriage woes on air.
Appearing on Jenna & Friends on Friday Savannah Guthrie gave Jenna a surprise by taking part in the show’s relationship court segment alongside her husband Mike Feldman. Jenna, Savannah and dating expert Devyn Simone had already advised one couple when a video played showing Savannah seeking help for her own relationship.
A voiceover introduced the clip saying, “The case of the dishwashing debacle,” it then continued: “Savannah and Mike have been together for over a decade, and their love language? Home-cooked meals. But their post-dinner predicament over soaking pots and pans is putting a lid on their kitchen harmony.”
Jenna showed her amazement as she exclaimed “Are you kidding me?” as Savannah headed to the podium. Savannah then invited Mike on to the set to “settle” their disagreement over their dirty dishes “once and for all.”

Jenna said: “Mike, I cannot believe that you would come here and litigate in Jenna & Friends relationship court, that takes a lot of strength.”
Savannah then outlined her issue to Jenna and Devyn stating: “Here’s the thing, Mike likes to cook, he loves to make a chilli on football days.
“Gets the kitchen all messy and he does try to clean it, but what does he do with that chilli pot? I’ll tell you what he does, he puts it ‘to soak’.What does that mean? It’s going to sit there, hours, possibly days, unless I come in and intervene. Dishes don’t need to soak, sweetie; they need to scrub.”
Mike then defended his side as he explained: “Yes, it’s true. One of the many things I love about my wife is she likes to get it done yesterday. She wants to get it done right away, but some things, particularly sticky things, take a little time; they take a two-step method. I like to soak the pots and pans and come back later to make sure they’re truly clean.”

Savannah confessed that while she doesn’t mind a “10 or 15 minute soak,” she knows that Mike thinks “someone else will come along and clean it up”.
Jenna then asked Mike if he is “secretly happy” if Savannah “swoops in” and does the dishes, but he gave an unexpected reply when he said he is actually “disappointed”.
He said, struggling to keep a straight face: “Cleanliness is next to godliness, and the health and safety of my family is very important. I really want to get in there and make sure something is cleaned up, and sometimes that takes a little longer.”
However, despite his best efforts the court did not find in favor of mike, instead siding with Savannah. Delighted she said: “This relationship court hits close to home; all I can say is you both are two of my favorites, and thanks for putting it to the test here.”
