Jenna Bush Hager unintentionally derailed Friday’s episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna after making a “crazy” confession about her Tupperware habits, leaving co-host Hoda Kotb in hysterics.
The 42-year-old presenter ended the show when she revealed that she tends to return her used food containers to her delivery drivers when they bring her a new takeaway order.
The unusual admission left Hoda, 60, in complete disbelief and she repeatedly slammed her hand on the table amidst her laughter as she tried to wrap her head around it.
Jenna dropped the bomb: ‘Here’s the other problem with Tupperware, I’m sorry but it’s true.
“If you order Chinese food once a week, like we sometimes do, you get those (plastic containers). I try to recycle them or return them next time.”

Shocked by Jenna’s confession, mother-of-two Hoda responded: “Wait, wait, wait. Pause.
‘Don’t send back the Chinese food container because the delivery guy will look at you like you’re crazy.’
But Jenna stood by her admission and encouraged Hoda to “try it.”
At that point, Hoda and the show’s crew burst out laughing.
“You don’t!” he continued laughing, before covering his mouth and face with his hand to hide his amusement.
“I think you can go in after you buy it,” Jenna continued, to which Hoda gestured as if she were digging a hole.
Jenna’s confession comes just one day after Tupperware, the iconic American brand known around the world for its plastic food containers, officially filed for bankruptcy protection in Delaware.
The 78-year-old company has been struggling for years to revive its fortunes amid debts of more than $700 million.

Tupperware officially filed for bankruptcy in Delaware this week
Its sales have fallen in recent years as the company struggled to get more of its products into retail stores and online sales platforms.
The company said in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing that consumers’ shift away from direct sales, which make up the vast majority of its sales more than a quarter-century after the first Tupperware parties, has hit the storied business hard.
“Almost everyone now knows what Tupperware is, but fewer people know where to find it,” Tupperware’s chief restructuring officer, Brian Fox, wrote in a court filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
This isn’t the first time Today with Hoda & Jenna has gone off the rails due to the hosts cracking up.
In July, the couple were furious after Hoda suffered a wardrobe malfunction with her bra straps.
Hoda had already hilariously brought the show to a standstill in July when she suffered a wardrobe malfunction.
Five minutes into the show, she was seen fiddling with the straps of her chic number and admitted: “My bra doesn’t work! The outfit doesn’t work, okay? The bra is too big, the straps are too small, it doesn’t work! I can’t do anything!”
The two women burst out laughing as moments earlier, Jenna’s belly had made a “pretty weird noise,” prompting her to ask, “But why did my stomach make your dress fall down?” while Hoda admitted that a crew member had told her to “fix it.”
“You know when you wear a dress that you shouldn’t? Because it’s not right, but you know what, I just decided I was going to do it,” she continued.
‘Have you ever gone to a party and said, “it’s okay,” and then you spend the entire party pushing, shoving, and choking… it’s not okay!
‘Anyway, I feel like I’m falling apart!’
