The pair were joined by Sheinelle Jones and Tom Llamas for the majority of the program, and in one segment things took an unpredicted turn as they discussed the topic of "baby talk".

Savannah explained to viewers and her co-stars that a new study has found that the notion of baby talk is universal, and that it has a positive impact on the baby's learning development.

At one point, Hoda turned to Savannah and asked her whether she and her husband Mike Feldman chat to each other in baby talk. "Would I do it to Mike? No!" Savannah replied swiftly.

They then turned to Tom, who said: "My mom still talks to me in baby talk and the results have been off the charts.

"Do you want us to talk to you in baby talk Tommy?" Savannah replied laughing, as Sheinelle then ended the segment for the commercial, telling viewers: "We'll be right back!" as Savannah echoed: "Oh yes we will, oh yes we will!"

"And I come in the next morning [thinking], I feel terrible for what I did. What was I thinking? Why did I think that was going to work? They went to bed crying. Like, I don't want that to be me. But then I talk to Savannah. She'll say, 'That was my Wednesday,' it makes you feel less alone."
