Hoda Kotb’s call for help
Only last week, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager tried on bizarre products during the Tool Time segment on 'Today with Hoda and Jenna' and took turns to guess what old-looking beauty gadgets were used for.
The name or the description for the products weren’t given to the hosts and one product caught their attention.
Kotb and Hager stumped on a product that appeared to be a tan cloth with two big holes. Although Kotb didn’t even guess what it could be, Hager had her quirky ideas.
Hager asked, “Do your eyes go in there? Oh no, your eyes don't fit there."
She quickly added, "Is this for your boobs?" while putting the cloth over her breasts.
Despite Hager’s NSFW remark, Kotb was still confused and signaled for help to identify the product.
Later, it was revealed that the product was an anti-wrinkle mask that could be wrapped around the chin and head and the holes were used for the ears.
