Fans got a little more than they bargained for when author and talk-show host Hoda Kotb recently made a bold revelation about her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager.

On last week's episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, 58-year-old Kotb told a live audience (and the rest of the world) that she recently learned something new about the former first daughter - that she enjoys going commando right before filming!

"She [Bush Hager] always looks put together," Kotb said before going on to reveal that she had a "little shock this morning."

"You promised me you wouldn't do this," Bush Hager can be heard protesting. "There's a lot of people here... [but] go ahead!"

"I was a little surprised because Jen and I know a lot about each other," Kotb continued, explaining that the two friends had to get changed before the show when she noticed that the 40-year-old wasn't wearing any underwear - much to the amusement of the audience members.

"I just had a little shock with it," she admitted.

Despite Bush Hager being embarrassed about the story initially, she defended her choice saying: "I think it makes a more pretty silhouette! I also think you don't have to pack as much. There's a lot of pros to it!

"I'm sure my mom has never been more proud," she jokingly added.

The two hosts then went on to discuss more pros of going commando, even getting the approval of their show's wardrobe supervisor who said "it actually does make life a lot easier."

But as for the downsides, Kotb noted that "it's a lot of washing of clothes, over and over."

"But it's also not like I'm sharing your jeans with you," the former first daughter pointed out. "Though I do steal Savannah [Guthrie]'s pants on occasion... And I do want to borrow that red suit of yours. Can I?"

"Yes, you can, anytime," Kotb said.

"I'll wear underwear," joked Bush Hager.

Today with Hoda and Jenna returned to our screens on Monday last week (November 14), after undergoing a few changes - the live audience being a big one for that particular week.

Speaking of their comeback earlier this month, Kotb said: "We miss it and we love it... This is so important to us but there's something about sitting among the people you love."

"We miss y'all. Don't you feel like everybody wants connection? I feel like people are back at church, people are back together, people are going to concerts and shows," Bush Hager also added.

The first episode of the series saw a star-studded line-up with the likes of former FLOTUS Michelle Obama, as well as Jessica Biel, Kelly Rowland, and Lauren Graham.

Today with Hoda and Jenna airs weekdays on NBC.
