Though it might be hard to find someone who isn't interested in dating the "hottest" guy in town, such as People Magazine's newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive, Chris Evans, Hoda isn't convinced it's the best idea.

Speaking of Chris and what it must be like to date such a lucrative hotshot, the host said: "For all the girls who have dated the hot, hot guy, that is tricky," adding that both her and Jenna had dated a "man of the hour" type.

She then revealed: "I've dated somebody who was so incredibly good looking, that next to him, you feel like… I feel like you're not seen."
