"Sometimes I am jealous. I didn't know, I had to find out on Insta… it's fine! But I was looking and was like 'There's Jenna at the US Open. Wait, she's sitting with who…'
"And as I was scrolling through the pictures, Brad Pitt with the bucket hat on, Jenna Bush Hager trying not to focus on Brad Pitt with the bucket hat on, and next to Brad, another Brad – Bradley Cooper. That was the Men's Finals."
Jenna said: "First of all, I should have called you and asked you what to wear." Hoda exclaimed: "What to wear? How about 'Do you want to go?' Not 'What to wear!'"
Of course, the famous friends and co-stars were only joking with each other as they laughed their way through the segment, much to the delight of their fans who loved their hilarious interaction.
