Jenna introduced a quiz segment on Monday’s episode of Today called “Do You Know Nola!?”

Actor and New Orleans resident John Goodman joined them for the quiz.

The outdoor segment found Jenna excitedly yelling its name.

John stood beside Jenna and Hoda when the quiz began.

“You’re the test giver?” John asked as the segment began.

“I am! I’ve never done this before, but it’ll be fine,” Jenna exclaimed.”

John wordlessly passed her some money as the crowd went wild.

Jenna then folded the cash up and stuffed it in her shirt.

“I take bribes!” she proclaimed as she got ready for the quiz.

‘THE BEST TIME’

Meanwhile, Jenna and Hoda have have been caught at a recent music festival showing off some skin.

Hoda and Jenna jammed out to Lizzo at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in Louisiana, wearing sleeveless tops and mini-shorts.

In the selfie video that Jenna, 41, took, she and Hoda, 58, loudly sang the lyrics with Lizzo, 35, when she was performing her song Special at the festival.

The TV anchors were similarly dressed; Jenna sported a black spaghetti-strapped tank top and patterned shorts, while Hoda wore a printed halter top and white cargo shorts.

Both Hoda and Jenna paired their look with sandals.

The Today moderators’ ensemble underscored their muscular arms, toned legs, and chiseled clavicle.

Jenna shared the clip of her and Hoda living it up in New Orleans to the official Today With Hoda & Jenna Instagram account.

“YEP! We’re having the best time ever. We love you, Lizzo! Tune in on Monday 5/1 to see our NOLA adventure,” the post’s caption read.

WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS?

Many fans in the comment section wished they were having as much fun as the media personalities, some even wanting to be partying with them.

“You gals are having way too much fun,” one fan expressed while another added: “I want to party with Hoda and Jenna!!”

Someone else noted that they “need to be their friends!”

One user cosigned: “Okay but can I go to a concert with y’all.”

BUSINESS & PLEASURE

Even though the dynamic duo was out having fun, they were still there on business.

In early April, Hoda and Jenna confirmed they’d be broadcasting their show live from New Orleans during the 2023 Jazz Fest.

The pair were all smiles when they made their announcement live on Today with Hoda & Jenna.

The official Today Twitter account shared a clip of from the episode where Hoda and Jenna shared the big news about their Louisiana trip.

Hoda began at the time: “Alright you guys, it’s spring break time, and Jenna and I, we’re ready for a little bit of fun!”

Jenna replied: “Oh my gosh, what do you say we pack our bags, we take our show on the road? That means it’s time for another edition of Hoda and Jenna’s Trippin’!”

During the segment, they spun a wheel on TV that would announce their next destination.

After the wheel spun for some time, it finally landed on a purple space.

“We’re going to New Orleans!” Jenna announced as the stage was filled with ticker tape.

Hoda called it “the finest music festival,” naming artists like Kane Brown, Lizzo, Ed Sheeran, and The Lumineers as attendees.
