She gets awkwardly close to her co-host as he shrugs her hand off his shoulder, trying to focus on the Chicken glaze. However, Jenna fails to get the hint and keeps coming closer to her co-host. Eventually, he gently nudges her away. The video ends with Jenna smiling creepily at the camera.

Another chimed in, “She knows how the shot is blocked. They have to get in close otherwise they have to stay zoomed out, and you can’t see what they are cooking. She is all about the show. The dude has issues and just doesn’t get what is happening.”

I don’t watch Hoda & Jenna anymore because Jenna never shuts up and constantly interrupts everyone, especially Hoda. According to today’s video, looks like she was attempting to hog the show, again.
Totally agree! She’s pushy and talks incessantly. For me, Jenna is an acquired taste, and I had fairly recently begun to halfway enjoy her co-hosting. Absolutely love, love, love that sweet Justin. Back off, Jenna. Give us all some space.
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
She acts like a spoiiledbrat. She thinks it’s her show. Gods is so classy and just lets it ride. I had to quit watching it. The same thing on the TALK. Natalie hogs the show. I don’t know why the four others even show up She is full of herself
I totally agree: there seems to be so much competition~ that’s what I’ve noticed.
plus ➕ it’s ‘a race’ to fill.all.the.air.time.
every.second
It’s time for Jenna and Gunthrie to go. This is getting completely out of hand. You are losing all your fan base and your ratings are going to pot!!!!
I can no longer tolerate “Hoda and Jenna.” Love Hoda but Jenna should be fired. She is obnoxious! She talks over people, rambles about herself – her likes, dislikes – who cares? And she is forever checking herself out in one of the cameras, then flashing a smile. Cannot tolerate her.
Can’t stand Jenna either. She and Savannah are the same, rude, interrupting
Camera hogs, with their “fake” on air smiles !! They both need to go ! NOW !!
Savannah even said once the only reason Jenna got the job was because of who her dad is ! She had no experience at all !!
Love Hoda !! Find her a fun cohost !
Buh bye Savannah
Buh bye Jenna
I am tired of Savannah and Jenna. They show no respect for co-hosts. They have to completely dominate everything.
totally agree: hopefully, ‘some producer’ will read the comment’s~ it’s pretty obvious.
I’m a Democrat but leave that girl alone.
I do agree with one part. and that is Hoda is only Host.
She’s not a reporter only comes from a host.
Tough questions come from a tough reporter.
Just sayin.
For some time, I watched Today, 3rd Hour, and Hoda and Jenna. Too much and a waste of time! I usually turn off the tv at 8, and got tired of Hoda and Jenna a long time ago. Hoda is silly, and Jenna talks too much about herself and her family.
I I agree Hoda is the best. Get rid of Jenna can’t stand to watch her.
Jenna,, what “wannabe”! Such dribble! She adds nothing to the show, or the group and is onair for one reason,,,her name! She must be a constant embarrassment to her mother! I do not and never will be her fan or watch her on any program!
I enjoy watching the two ladies !
I have adopted a son almost 21 years ago best thing we did! I am inspired by Hoda and Joel doing the same thing and co-parenting they are doing what’s best for the children!
If you don’t like them then don’t watch them!
I would LOVE some day to meet Hoda and tell her my story of our adopted son!
She is my idol! That smile of her brightens up a room as my 2 sisters that have passed away!
Hoda and Jenna you both are doing a great job!
Hoda is my favorite for many years!❤️
Hoda is my favorite for many years!❤️
I can’t stand Hoda or Jenna, neither are professional or talented enough to be on Today. Keep Savannah and let Craig Melvin cohost
I agree wholeheartedly!
So funny to read theses reviews. My fiance and I were also turned off by Jenna when she moved to the co-host spot with Hoda. We love Hoda, but Jenna is just too much. She’s rude and self obsessed. Both Jenna and Savanah are so full of themselves. We absolutely love and adore the rest. Wish Willie Geist was on all the time. He fits right in with Craig, ❤️ Dillon, Hoda, Chanel and ❤️ Al. Let’s have some intelligent well educated non politically partial hosts.
I think the Today Show should take notice.
I enjoy both Hoda and Jenna. I believe that they are both down to earth women. Jenna comes from a spoiled back ground, but it appears she is grounded and living here life and enjoying her journey as a Mother, Wife, and talk show host. I think that she is dedicated to all.
Hoda is one woman that I respect. She is dedicated also, but her children are first, I admire that. She is blessed to have the gift of the girls,and she makes them here priority.
I think they both have so much going on in their lives, that sometimes they don’t mask it well on camera. With that being said, they are both normal Mom’s, and that is refreshing in these crazy days on planet earth.🙂
fire Jenna she talks to much and thinks she owns the show.
Jenna: OMG. Could she not take the hint that she was invading his space. Very pushy. Constantly interrupts. And can’t she daintily cross her legs? She’s just too much. Her mom is such a gracious, warm person. I do like her sweet family but I think she needs to step back, and learn to accept and appreciate others’ worth. Hook ‘em!
so sick of the backstabbing on this show. everyone needs to be fired. you need a whole new crew. Dillon and Al are the only ones to keep.
I LOVE Hoda & Jenna!!! And I don’t care to hear from Justin much at all. I think his prior gossip fashion gig was perfect for him. And yes, you guys need to educate yourselves on camera blocking and remember they have directors and producers communicating with them while shooting the show. They can’t just wonder wherever they like. So someone got too close, it was for the camera woman, people. And Justin may have been too busy or overwhelmed to realize.
Jenna is not going to change! I’m assuming she has been spoken to about the constant interrupting…it happens every day! I honestly don’t know how Hoda has tolerated her this long. There has to be other gifted journalist “waiting in the wings” that NBC can hire. I finally had to stop watching the show but Hoda deserves an OSCAR for tolerating Jenna.
