What was Hoda Kotb’s NSFW question?
Earlier last week, Hoda Kotb interviewed actor Christopher Meloni alongside co-host Jenna Bush Hager.
However, Kotb’s NSFW question for Meloni left Hager red-faced.
“You're known for your super sexy commercials that you like to do," Kotb said to Meloni.
"We discusssed it," Jenna added.
The two ladies pointed to a Peloton commercial where Meloni is seen working out naked in his home.
"Is that real?" curious Kotb asked.
"What part of real are you hoping to hear?" Meloni replied laughingly as he reflected on the moments about his nudity in the commercial.
Kotb went on and asked, “Are you a naked person?"
Hager suddenly chimed in as she screamed out of her breath "Wow!" to Kotb’s question.
"Some people are naked around their house, they’re just comfortable being naked. Are you?"
Meloni simply replied, "No."
He also added that he doesn't actually work out naked.
He said because he wanted to tease the ladies and spice up his interviews after giving repeated answers.
"So you don't really work out naked?" Hager asked.
Meloni replied, “No”, and the pair revealed they were just ‘little disappointed’.
