A day after the Golden Globe awards, everyone was talking about the kiss heard ’round the world between Wonka star Timothee and actual girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

But Today show hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna were curious about just who were sitting behind the new “it” couple, and were caught sharing a passionate kiss themselves moments after Timothee and Kylie’s PDA.

“Have you ever been out with a couple, and they are all over each other? And then all of a sudden you’re finding yourself (competing with them),” Jenna, 42, started, before making her mix-up.

“Do you think that couple was trying to be as sexy as Timothee and Kendall?”

After a brief pause, Jenna recognized her mistake, and tried quickly to right her wrong, emphasizing, “Not Kendall…Kylie! I’m sorry!”

Hoda seemed practically as embarrassed as the president’s daughter.

The 59-year-old stared blankly into the camera and shook her head, before confirming, indeed, “Kylie. Right.”

MEET CUTE

Jenna wasn’t the only Today show host to get tongue tied recently.

Last week, , Savannah Guthrie, 52, talked to  Jenna about her pick for the Read With Jenna segment.

The January book was The Waters by Bonnie Jo Campbell.

Savannah promised to read the books this year, but Jenna jokingly said her partner always says that.

Savannah reiterated she was going to try this year.

At the end of the segment, Jenna told Savannah, “Happy New Year;”

Savannah looked at Jenna, winked, and said, “Happy New Year, cutie!”

The show then cut to a commercial break before she had time to backtrack.

NEW ADDITION

Perhaps Jenna was too distracted by her new family member to focus on the differing Jenner sisters.

Last week, Jenna and Hoda discussed using the start of the year as a reset for different aspects of their lives, which helped lead them into the former’s big news.

Hoda teed her Today colleague up for the reveal.

“I love a fresh start, and I also love a new addition,” she said in the lead-in.

“And somebody at this table has a new addition to their family. Congratulations!”

Jenna smiled as she thanked Hoda and admitted, “It’s been a big, big deal. Because I’d like to introduce you to Mr. Mango Mellow Hager.”

She shared that she adopted a kitten to give to her 8-year-old daughter, Poppy, for Christmas. 

“He’s mellow, and he looks like a marshmallow,” Jenna explained of the pet’s name.

The host then had the Today show share photos of Poppy petting Mango Mellow on her lap, as well as ones of her snuggling with the kitten in bed.

After seeing the snaps, Hoda gushed: “Poppy’s in love!”

“And it looks like Mr. Mango is in love,” Jenna added.

She went on to reveal that her daughter almost cried when she was given the kitten as a present.
