Hoda Kotb tried to start Tuesday’s (Feb. 6) broadcast of Today With Hoda & Jenna on a good note, but the producers were not having it.

“You know what song I played today, which put me in the best mood,” she began telling Jenna Bush Hager. She then reached for her cell phone, until she heard the producers “groan” from behind the camera.

Kotb proceeded to stand from her seat on stage with her hands on her hips, appearing irritated at her producers.

“I heard a groan and a very audible ‘Oh no’ coming from our producers,” she claimed as Bush Hager laughed behind her. “You know what?! I’ll keep my song to myself!”

When she joined Bush Hager back at the table, her co-host tried to make the situation better. “Can I guess [the song]? I didn’t say oh no, my face may have said ‘oh no,’ but it didn’t come out of my mouth.”

Kotb then played the song (which we identified as “Good Day” by Forrest Frank, for curious readers) despite her producers’ reactions. When she finished singing along, the Today crew gave her a round of applause.

“You’re welcome!” she announced once the song ended.

Bush Hager, at least, appeared to be enjoying herself. “The best part is you played that today but you also played that for me yesterday,” she said.

Kotb replied, “Yes, and I’m going to play it again tomorrow.”

This isn’t the first time Kotb and Bush Hager’s antics have been shut down by the Today crew. Last year, some of the crew loudly booed them when they suggested stretching the “summer into September.”

Bush Hager also recently claimed they “shamed” her because her four-year-old son still slept in a crib. During a 2023 episode, she turned to the camera and asked if it was “normal,” to which her stage crew responded with a resounding “NO.”

Tough crowd!

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