Hoda Kotb, 59, is left VERY red-faced after Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager calls her out for 'STALKING' Jerry Seinfeld during interview with the comedian live on air

Hoda Kotb looked rather embarrassed during Wednesday's episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna when her co-host called her out for 'stalking' comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

As Hoda, 59, and Jenna Bush Hager welcomed the 69-year-old comic onto the show to promote his new movie, the latter wasted no time in blurting out to him: 'Did you know that Hoda used to stand outside your apartment building?'

Keen to shut the conversation down immediately, Hoda said: 'Don't go into my dark past,' as Jerry looked stunned and replied: 'I didn't know that,' and Jenna, 42, continued: 'Yeah, she used to just wait outside and hope she could get a glimpse of you!'

Getting the hint that Jenna wasn't letting it go, Hoda decided to explain herself and told Jerry: 'No, no, this is what me and my sister did... we saw you at the Mets game on TV and then we were like, "How long does it take to get back?" because I lived near where you used to live according to sources and doormen...'

Looking a bit confused, Jerry interrupted Hoda and confirmed: 'I live where I used to live,' to which she replied: 'Oh, well then I won't say it, I'll tell you later where I lived,' before stressing: 'This was years ago.'

Referring to her and her sister, she added: 'So we would stand and wait, we figured, "Does he take the subway? does he take a car?" before giggling as Jenna asked the sitcom star: 'Do you have any security here or should I call them?'

Reassuring Hoda, Jerry replied: 'This is the nicest thing I've heard all day, this makes me feel so good. I don't mind a bit of stalking, a little stalking's okay.'

Jenna then called someone else out and referenced comedian and author Sarah Cooper, who appeared on the NBC morning show on Tuesday.  

'Well, Sarah Cooper was on the show, she's straight up stalking you,' Jenna told Jerry, as Hoda added: 'Grade A stalking you!'

'Yeah, I don't mind that because she's Sarah Cooper!' Jerry joked as the two hosts continued giggling.

Hoda and Sarah's 'stalking' was mentioned at the beginning of Wednesday's episode when the women announced that Jerry would be live in the studio.

'We are so excited, guess who is here? Probably here in the building right now... Jerry Seinfeld! He's here today, which we are really excited... and Hoda is going to talk to him about when she used to stalk him,' Jenna told viewers.

Father-of-three Jerry told the TV duo that he doesn't 'mind a bit of stalking'

Hoda, 59, confirmed that she used to live near Jerry's NYC home 'years ago'

During an appearance on Tuesday's show, Sarah Cooper admitted that she finds Jerry attractive

'I did,' Hoda replied, before adding: 'Well, he doesn't know about this,' as Jenna fired back: 'Well now he probably does!'

Hoda then said: 'Speaking of stalkers, remember who was here yesterday? Sarah Cooper. Sarah Cooper, who stars with Jerry Seinfeld in his movie Unfrosted, was here and she - if you want to know a Jerry Seinfeld stalker - that's her right there.'

'Oh yeah, she's a stalker. Did you feel a little jealous when you heard her talking about her stalking abilities? Since you came first!' Jenna asked.

'Well she actually knew him and it came to fruition, she actually has like a relationship with him,' Hoda replied as Jenna confirmed: 'She thinks he's hot!'

During her appearance on the NBC show on Tuesday, Sarah admitted that she said of Jerry to her friends: 'I was on set and I was like, "Jerry could get it. Jerry Seinfeld could get it".'
