IN an awkward live TV segment, The Today Show host Hoda Kotb has made a slip-up and mispronounces an A-list actor’s name.
Jenna Bush Hager cracked up at the mistake as they interviewed Reese Witherspoon, who is in an upcoming movie with Ashton Kutcher.

On Monday’s show, Jenna and Hoda welcomed Reese to talk about her upcoming Netflix movie, Your Place or Mine.
“Our first guest needs no introduction. You know her. You love her. You want to be best friends with her. It’s Reese Witherspoon,” Jenna said.
“And Reese is making all of our rom-com dreams come true in her new movie, it’s called Your Place or Mine. And she’s alongside Ashton CUT-cher,” Hoda said.
“Uh, Kutcher,” she corrected herself.
Jenna cracked up at Hoda’s mistake before they showed a preview of the movie.
The film is set to be released on the streaming platform on February 10.
Reese talked about how she didn’t know Ashton very well, so they face-timed before hand to become friends.
However, she is friends with his wife, Mila Kunis.

YOUR PLACE OR MINE?
Your Place or Mine is a new film set to be released right before Valentine’s Day.
It tells the story of Debbie (Reese) and Peter (Ashton) who are long-distance best friends.
Their lives change forever when she decides she wants to pursue a career in acting.
Because she is a single mom, Peter volunteers to look after her teenage son.
They swap lives and houses for a week and they discover what they think they want might not be what they really need.
Jesse Williams, Zoë Chao, Wesley Kimmel, Tig Notaro and Steve Zahn also star.
OH BROTHER!
This isn’t the first time there was a problem between the hosts and an A-list guest.
Back in January, Jenna was attacked for talking over HGTV stars Jonathan Scott and Drew Scott, the Property Brothers.
They stopped by the show and spoke to Jenna and co-host Hoda.
In the video, Hoda asked Jonathan Scott who makes the decisions in his relationship with actress and musician Zooey Deschanel.
Chaos ensued as both Hoda and Jenna talked over Jonathan while he answered the question as they interjected.
He struggled to get a word in while explaining that it depended on what the topic at hand was.
“Music? Music?” Jenna asked at one point during the conversation, with rapid-fire back-and-forth questioning that irked fans.
The clip, posted to the official Today with Hoda & Jenna Instagram account, caught the ire of fans who were fed up with the interruptions.
One especially angry viewer said: “This this this is the d**n interview techniques that cause me to NOT watch Hoda and Jenna. Can we please please please stop this technique it’s so annoying!!!!!”
The fan raged: “They get a guest on there [sic] or they show products and they race through them so fast you can’t even understand it or watch it just please take your time with people and quit having to constantly talk over and around and above and under your guests!!!!!!”
Another viewer slammed Jenna and Hoda, asking: “Why even have guests on the show if you’re going to talk over/interrupt them??”
A third commenter ripped into the hosts further: “Ask a question and then don’t let them answer by always talking over them!! So over it already!! So annoying!!!!”
