Jenna started off by hilariously expressing just how hot she found a British accent, heavily exhaling and even biting on her hand which was clenched in a fist. Her co-anchor was quick to agree, saying: "There's just something about a British accent… There's something so refined."

Then the mother-of-three added even more accents to the tally that she found attractive, exhaling between each one: "Irish… Australian…" before the two disagreed about their liking of a French accent, or lack thereof, in Jenna's case.

The discussion grew even more candid when Hoda had a frank admission for her co-star, and a somewhat saucy revelation!
