The two truly committed to the bit, and even donned skin-tight unitards with a Cirque du Soleil theme for their early morning performance.

However, determined as they may have been, it didn't stop Hoda from displaying true fear over sitting on the ring up in the air, and fans couldn't get enough of her reaction.

As she got twirled and twirled by a circus performer, her facial expressions revealed her true feelings over the bit, as she grimaced and froze her face in shock while unable to muster words beyond gasps.

Hilariously and ironically enough, Savannah had a totally different reaction, and she kept a graceful smile on her face as she calmly did the routine.

Fans raved about the performance and couldn't help but joke about Hoda's reaction, taking to the comments section to write: "Savannah looked like she was enjoying it… and Hoda looked so scared!" and: "Hoda thanks for the laughs today," as well as: "Poor Hoda!! Look terrified!" plus another fan cheekily joked: "Savannah should have shared her Ativan with Hoda."

Others commented: "You two were so funny this morning. Savannah, you looked like you were really enjoying it! Hoda, I can relate! I would have been so scared balancing on a hoop in the air!" with another follower adding: "Hoda is such a character."
