We wish we were invited to this party! Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager were coming off of a “holiday party extravaganza” during Monday’s (Dec. 11) broadcast when they dished about the Today Show holiday party that was held over the weekend.
Bush Hager joked that, after this weekend, “I’m sort of ready to go to the sober living house where my parents live.”
Kotb set the scene for the holiday party where all of the Today Show anchors were in attendance, according to a picture from the evening.
“Our Today Show crew got together for drinks. Now, this is how we party,” she said. “3 p.m. we meet, [and] for most people it was a wrap by 5 p.m., 5:30. That’s two hours of sitting there and talking and drinking. For others…” She trailed off before turning to Bush Hager and saying, “I heard you were the ringleader.”
Bush Hager appeared scandalized by the accusation. “I was NOT the ringleader,” she replied.
But Kotb continued. “I heard from sources that they said, ‘Let’s get the check.’ It was late, and sources say that you said, ‘One more round!’”
Her co-host denied the accusation, insisting that she “left first” that evening. “There was four of us standing, I won’t mention any names,” she began explaining. Kotb interjected to name the people in question, saying that Savannah Guthrie, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer were also still there.
“That’s correct,” Bush Hager admitted. “It sounds like other people are narcing out.”
Bush Hager went on to say that she “did what Hoda does best” and left the party early because she “needed to get home.”
But the topic was still on Bush Hager’s mind later on, when she brought their conversation back to the accusations. “I am going to get back at those people who blamed it on me because I don’t appreciate it,” she said. “By the way, we were still home by 7 p.m.”
It sounds like she certainly knows how to keep the party going!
Today with Jenna and Hoda airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
