Jessica Biel recently shared a shocking confession on her social media that Today host Jenna Bush Hager simply could not come to terms with.
Bush Hager shared Biel’s “shocking, shocking statement” at the start of Thursday’s broadcast. In it, the actress admitted she loves to eat “shower-appropriate items” in the shower, such as “cereal, or yogurt, coffee, tea, popsicles.”
“I can’t,” Bush Hager said. “She eats in the shower? Y’all, there is no way.”
Hoda Kotb, on the other hand, seemed to understand Biel’s perspective: “I kind of get the popsicle when she said that,” she admitted. As Bush Hager expressed her disbelief, Kotb continued, “Yes, yes I kind of did. It’s dripping, it’s all over, you don’t care, it’s gonna melt anyways. I could see a popsicle.”
Bush Hager then asked her co-host if she would ever try it. When Kotb confirmed she would, Bush Hager declared, “Okay, I would like to see that.” There was suddenly an awkward pause before Kotb began giggling.
“I mean, I don’t need to see it, see it. You know what I mean!” Bush Hager continued. “I’m just saying I don’t believe you.”
Kotb replied through her laughter, “You don’t believe I would eat a popsicle in the shower? Why are you trying to get me to do a bet with you right now?”
“I double dog dare you!” Bush Hager said. “Because you can also eat on the floor like you always do, or tucked into bed with your saltines and your sleeve of cookies. You love a sleeve.”
The Today co-hosts later got into another scuffle after Bush Hager was accused of eating on the toilet.
“I do NOT,” she replied. “You know I do not eat in the toilet. I find that to be an insult.”
This isn’t the first time Kotb and Bush Hager have argued about their eating habits. Just last year, Kotb admitted she liked to keep a sleeve of Ritz crackers handy for some bedroom snacking. Bush Hager pointed out that it was a very “crumby” snack that could get all over the bed, to which Kotb pointed out you could just brush the crumbs off.
“So that it’s all over your ground?” Bush Hager replied in disbelief. “In your New York City apartment where little mice like to come and eat a Ritz cracker?”
Today with Jenna and Hoda airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
