Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager recently reflected on the very different ways they used to spend spring break when they were in college, prompting a playful argument between the daytime hosts.
Bush Hager revealed she once visited “Floribama,” an area of the Gulf Shore located on the border between Florida and Alabama, when she was in college. When she asked Kotb if she had ever visited the area, Kotb joked, “Well, I know that riviera, as they call it. I know that area.”
Kotb then asked, “Were you like a wild spring breaker?” But before Bush Hager was able to respond, she promptly answered herself, saying, “Of course you were.”
“I wasn’t wild! I just was not… calm,” Bush Hager replied, prompting Kotb to laugh. “You weren’t [wild]? You were like, going to the library and reading books?”
“I was not, but I wasn’t wild,” Kotb said. She added that she “did enjoy spring break,” but it appeared that Bush Hager was not buying her claims about not being a “wild” college student. “My parents were strict, I couldn’t do anything!”
“You were in college, your parents weren’t with you!” Bush Hager fired back, which Kotb conceded was “true.” Bush Hager then added, “First of all, you told me you made out in a furniture store, so I don’t believe you don’t have a wild hair.”

She may have got her there, as Kotb admitted, “I do have a wild hair, I do.”
But Bush Hager continued pressing Kotb, asking her, “Did you ever stay out late?” Kotb laughed as she confirmed that she did, prompting her co-host to demand that she “take back” what she said about not being “wild.”
“You’re gaslighting me!” Kotb said, putting an end to their bickering.
Bush Hager was referring to a wild anecdote Kotb once fondly shared during the broadcast, where she revealed she once “had a full-on make out” with someone she was dating in a New York City furniture store. That anecdote was just one of many Kotb has shared about her dating life on Today With Hoda & Jenna, prompting her to be named the show’s resident “sex guru.”
The Today co-hosts enjoy poking fun at each other about their so-called “wild” pasts, especially as Bush Hager’s younger days were so highly publicized as the daughter of a former U.S. president.
Bush Hager recently told Kotb’s six-year-old daughter Haley Joy, who was visiting the set with her first grade class on a school trip, that her mother was “wild” when she was younger.
“She lived in New Orleans,” she told Kotb’s daughter. She then instructed her to ask her mother questions about the bar she frequented when she lived there in the ’90s.
Today with Hoda & Jenna airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
