Today viewers are convinced that Carson Daly “can’t stand” Jenna Bush Hager.
During the latest segment of the Today show, the panel of hosts were in the middle of a Wicked segment when they caught an unusual moment between the two co-anchors. As Jenna discussed how a fan found Cynthia Erivo’s lost hat, viewers questioned the meaning behind Carson’s uneasy look toward the 43-year-old.
Within the quick scene, Jenna faced everyone while Carson, 52, was seen tilting away from his co-host while having a blank expression on his face. Jenna didn’t seem to pick up on it as she kept her attention on Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin.
Although the author might have missed the quick moment, her fans definitely didn’t as they took to Reddit to share their thoughts.
A user originally created a thread that read, “Carson not liking JHB Theory is gaining steam. I’ve watched these people for a long while. Carson is not a ‘yes man’ unless he is hosting the voice.”
They went on to emphasize that the host’s “body language” makes it seem like “Jenna got on his nerves.”
They went on to point out how the host seems to “barely tolerate” not only Jenna but the gig at Today show as well, saying his “facial expressions are priceless.”
Another responded, ““Right?! They really need to address it, although watching for it has been entertaining.”
“I see it too – tho, TBH, I’m super cynical about all their relationships.,” a third chimed in.
“I mean they all constantly talk over him and interrupt during his one segment he does…,” a fourth wrote.
The rumors have been spiraling for a while now, however, they died down just days ago when Carson spoke highly of his colleague.
During the live segment, he gushed, “You are like family to me. I really do have a huge place in my heart for you.
Carson mentioned Jenna reminds him of his “favorite human,” who happens to be his sister, Quinn.
“She’s a bada–. She’s smart. She’s professionally crushing it. She’s an incredible sister, wife, mother,” he added. “She’s funny, and you remind me so much of her.“
Jenna has also showcased the playfulness of their friendship on her social media accounts, where she has played viral TikTok pranks on him.
Carson officially joined the Today show in Sept 2013 as the host of the Orange Room. Recently, he has joined Jenna as a consistent co-host on her segment of Jenna & Friends.
Jenna has been on the morning show since August
