Talk about wishing she could turn back time!
Hoda Kotb has dealt with many awkward interviews during her decorated career as a TV anchor, but that didn't stop her from getting flustered during her most recent chat with Cher.
The television host was chatting to the legendary singer on Today on Tuesday when she was left scrambling to recover from a massive faux pas.
Watch the aftermath of the situation in the video below.
While discussing Cher's new memoir, Cher: The Memoir, Part 1, they spoke about her challenging split from Sonny Bono.
The 78-year-old hitmaker reminded Hoda that Sonny took everything when they broke up and she recalled a conversation she had with Lucille Ball.

"I love how you sought out another iconic woman for advice during this whole mess. You called Lucille Ball," said Hoda. "And what did she tell you to do?"

"We'll bleep it," she insisted.
"I said, 'Lucy I'm calling you because to my knowledge there's never been a situation besides mine except yours,'" explained Cher. "She said, [expletive] him. You're the one with the talent.'"

"You said I could," Cher noted.
"I should've bleeped it myself," added Hoda, before saying: "Bleep."

She later took to Instagram to make light of the moment with a post saying how much she loved chatting with her guest and owned the moment.
"@cher what a life story… thx for sharing," she wrote alongside a photo of her laughing with Cher. "Oh and sorry about the F-bomb. My bad."
© NBCFans said it was "a great interview," and said they loved her "real reaction," while many more said they'll miss her TV antics when she leaves Today in 2025.
Hoda recently announced she was leaving the NBC show to spend more time with her daughters, Haley and Hope.
Craig Melvin is taking her spot on Today.
