Savannah Guthrie wasn’t impressed with Hoda Kotb’s jump into freezing water. On Tuesday’s “The Tonight Show”, Jimmy Fallon brought up a controversial topic from earlier this year on the “Today” show.

Jenna and I were in bathing suits. We had to go into the ocean. Okay,” Kotb said. Fallon then played the clip of the segment, with the host pointing out that Hager dived right into the water, while Kotb seemed to dunk only her head in before running out.

Guthrie joked that Kotb looked like her head was a chip being dipped in guacamole, at which point Kotb threw to the audience, who sided with her co-anchor.
