Now Jenna, 40, has come under fire for interrupting Hoda, 57, during an interview with actress Issa Rae.
The hosts questioned the movie star about her new role in the film Barbie as well as her childhood experience with the dolls.
But Hoda seemed unable to get a word in edgewise, and fans did not let it slide.
After the interview was shared on the talkshow’s Instagram post, several raced to the comments to share their opinions on Jenna as a co-host.
“Loved the interview if Jenna can stop over talking all the time… listen sometimes to understand …” one complained.
“That’s all she does! But it’s not yelling…it’s screaming and interrupting!!” a second agreed.
A third ranted: “The constant talking over each other, snide comments and bickering is out of control. Just stop, listen to your guests and each other. It’s really getting hard to watch.”
“Does Hoda get to talk?” a final hoped.
HOSTS ON EDGE?
Throughout the last several episodes, viewers have spotted what they believe to be tension between the talk show hosts based on their on-air behavior.
Fans suspect the pair were feuding after Jenna made a seemingly snarky remark towards Hoda while playing a game with their guest, Sarah Hyland on Monday.
During the Today show‘s fourth hour, the co-hosts got the Love Island USA host’s take on her dating red flags with their own spin on the series called Jenna & Hoda & Sarah’s Love Island.
The game’s premise was to catch a pretend fish from the mock ocean water and answer with their thoughts on the relationship scenario given.
However, the activity turned sour quickly as the ladies pondered how they felt about the situation.
The first scenario in question read: “Never posts about you on social media.”
Hoda revealed it wouldn’t be a deal breaker if her significant other didn’t post about her online, sparking a debate from the others.
Jenna chimed in: “I don’t know how to feel about that?”
She then asked Sarah for her thoughts, and she admitted her concerns about having a partner who wasn’t vocal about their relationship on social media.
“I think that if you’re both not into social media, fine, I just get scared that they’re hiding you,” Sarah explained.
Jenna agreed, but Hoda still had some questions.
“Oh, so if he’s into it and doesn’t post – post about you, so if he’s into social media,” Hoda began to make sense of Sarah’s response.
Jenna interjected to clarify: “So pretend one of the people is posting constantly, and the other isn’t, that might mean -“
“Oh, so if the other is posting other things, just not you?” Hoda asked.
“Yes,” Jenna and Sarah replied.
JENNA’S SHADE
Jenna then sarcastically asked her co-host: “Did you understand the question?”
The ladies awkwardly laughed before Sarah tried to end the conversation and grab another scenario.
FAN BACKLASH
Viewers were shocked at Jenna’s comment to her co-host.
One social media user commented: What’s with Jenna’s attitude lately? She asked Hoda today if she understood the question!?
“Hoda looked uncomfortable the rest of the show.”
Another unhappy watcher replied: “They both need to go and pronto!!”
