Overview

• During the June 9 Morning Boost segment, Guthrie’s “little something in the oven” remark prompted co-hosts Carson Daly, Craig Melvin and Al Roker to ask if Jenna Bush Hager was announcing a pregnancy.
• Jenna Bush Hager immediately addressed the confusion on air, confirming she understood Guthrie’s joke and is not pregnant.
• Social media users joined the speculation, posting questions and comments until the mix-up was resolved live.
• This was the second time Guthrie’s playful comment triggered pregnancy rumors, following a similar misunderstanding in March on Today With Jenna & Friends.
• The exchange highlighted the co-hosts’ close rapport and lighthearted on-air miscommunications following Hoda Kotb’s departure earlier this year.
