"Okay we got to ask about Pickles," the star began by saying, though Hoda Kotb and Ricky were quick to correct her, both saying: "Pickle."
Jenna was just as quick to shoot right back to them, responding with: "I call the cat Pickles. You call it Pickle."
Pickle's owner was not having it, and he said: "Right. Ok. Why don't we use her name though? What do you mean? You can't just decide to change her name, Gina."
The hilarious discussion
As the two hosts fell into fits of laughter, the actor doubled down by turning to Hoda to cheekily say: "I like the fact [that] you replaced that other crazy lady with another crazy lady," which prompted even more laughter from them.
