After bantering for a bit about what the TV host was like in her early days, Jenna asked Mary whether she picked up her specific style of partying from that period as well.
"I'm wondering when this originated," she questioned. "Hoda now likes to go to a party, do a quick circle and then sneak out before anybody can even witness it. It's called the Ho-dini. Did she do that sort of Irish exiting thing when you were [in school]?"

"No, but I am Irish so I could see how that might have (influenced her)," Mary responded to the room's amusement.
"Are you telling us that you taught her the Ho-dini?" Jenna pressed, to which she responded: "Maybe? My family knows how to get out the back door." Hoda was left giggling during the entire conversation.

The NBC star and the rest of her Today co-hosts were surprised by people from their past hidden around the Today Plaza. Her reaction was also the most vocal as she was left for the end and found a group of women from Virginia Tech.
When correspondent Vicky Nguyen revealed who was there for Hoda, she began to scream, and upon seeing her college roommate, quickly went in to hug her, almost on the verge of tears.

"We all stayed really tight together. We really took care of each other, and when we went from party to party there was no (friend left behind)," she explained.
"Look out for your girls!" Hoda said.
