Today with Hoda & Jenna

Hoda Kotb and Emmy Rossum put Jenna Bush Hager in a rather sticky situation during Friday’s (Nov. 1) broadcast of Today when they asked her to choose between her twin sister, Barbara, and her husband, Henry.

Rossum was discussing her experience interviewing twins to prepare for her new play when she asked if Bush Hager could relate to some of her findings.

“Well, I’m a singleton and I’m an only child too, so the idea of being that close to another human being having that kind of ESP, having that kind of understanding, is so unique,” Rossum told Kotb and Bush Hager.

She then mentioned that “most” of the sets of twins she interviewed “said they would choose their twin over their spouse in a burning building,” prompting Kotb to turn to her Today co-host and ask, “Well, Jenna?”

They shared a laugh as Bush Hager attempted to answer tactfully. “Henry’s watching,” Kotb reminded her.

Bush Hager appeared like she wanted to plead the fifth on this one. “I love my husband, but we’ll have to see,” she said.

She then revealed to Rossum that her husband asked her twin sister, Barbara, for permission to marry her before he proposed. “He knew our bond was so important that if he didn’t go to her first, he would be in trouble,” she said.

This isn’t the first time Bush Hager found herself on the hot seat on Today. In fact, it’s happened so much that she once called Kotb out for trying to “trap” her with a tricky question about her marriage.

The hosts were discussing how actors navigate doing intimate scenes with other people while married, when Kotb asked Bush Hager, “Have you never had chemistry with somebody other than your husband?”

Bush Hager didn’t entertain the question even a bit as she responded, “Don’t try and get me in The Daily Mail, Hoda Kotb.”

“Every Friday you try to drop me in just in time for me to go home to my husband who reads a headline that says, ‘Jenna has chemistry with other people.’ Not falling into that trap, not today!” she ranted.

She later joked that Kotb was trying to get her in the headlines. “You were trying to feed the beast and I’m keeping that beast hungry until next week,” she said.

Today with Hoda & Jenna airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
