Despite her strong bonds with her co-stars, Hoda was recently called out by Jenna Bush Hager over one of her more peculiar habits.

When Jenna met the star's college roommate, Mary, she asked whether she picked up her specific style of partying from her teen years.

Brittany is a beloved member of the Today team

"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]?"

"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.
