TODAY hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager have exchanged a few quips live on air.
The duo couldn’t help but throw out some lighthearted jabs while hosting a segment on the Hoda & Jenna show.

In the segment, the Today anchors were joined by chef Alex Guarnaschelli, who’s set to co-host a new Food Network show.
Alex made her mom’s recipe for linguine with clams during the Today Food segment and talked Hoda and Jenna through the cooking process.
The hilarious moment between the two NBC stars came as Alex was finishing off her dish.
The chef had her sauce and clams bubbling away and added al dente pasta into the pot to mix all of the flavors together.
Hoda gave the linguine and sauce a mix, and then flung her fork about wildly as she tried to get one piece of pasta off it it.
The 58-year-old’s actions caused Jenna, 41, to start giggling, who then said: “I feel like I’m really dying to make a lemon pasta.”
There was a moment of silence, before a befuddled Hoda asked: “What does that have to do with this right now?”
As the other two laughed, Jenna continued: “I just feel like lemon would be good in this.”
Alex chimed in: “Absolutely, you could totally squeeze a lemon.”
Jenna caught Hoda’s attention and asked: “Did you just hear her? She said absolutely.”
Hoda simply shook her head in exasperation and said: “I’m locked out.”
DYNAMIC DUO
On Thursday, the co-hosts celebrated the former’s achievement of 25 years with NBC News, and Hoda jokingly mentioned that her mother pointed out the big moment in a conversation.
She said: “I have to tell you. I was totally shocked!
“In fact, my mom texted me. She took a screengrab and said: ‘Oh wow! 25!”
Jenna added: “How amazing is that?”
Then, on Friday, the pair marked another milestone: the fourth anniversary of Hoda and Jenna coming together to host the third hour of Today.
To commemorate the occasion, the stars shared a clip package of some of their favorite moments.
After the feature concluded, Jenna noticed a particular quirk in the montage.
“I’m kind of embarrassed how much we cry,” she said to her partner, as both, of course, fought back tears.
Hoda responded: “I think when there’s something that’s real, that you’re not pretending, it’s easy.”
Jenna tacked on: “It’s the best,” with Hoda echoing her saying: “This is the best.”
