Today fans have flocked to social media to slam Jenna Bush Hager, 41, after she kept interrupting and talking over the Property Brothers, Jonathan Scott and Drew Scott, when they appeared on Today with Hoda and Jenna on January 13th. One of the more chaotic parts of the interview with the HGTV stars came when Hoda Kotb, 58, asked Jonathan – who is married to New Girl star Zooey Deschanel – who normally makes the decisions in their relationship, and he struggled to answer the question due to both Jenna and Hoda talking over each other, and him! *So awkward!*

Jonathan, 44, tried to explain that the decision-making depended on what the decision actually involved, with his brother Drew, also 44, answering for him and saying, “food related? Definitely Zooey!”

“Music? Music?” Jenna interrupted, which Jonathan tried to answer by saying, “But she’s also a professional musician,” and then quipped, “What do I even do in this relationship?” “You need a toilet fixed or you need a lightbulb changed, I am your person,” he added, although many fans took to social media to note how difficult it was to hear what the brothers were saying.

Fans Slam Jenna Bush Hager On Instagram

When the above segment of the show was posted on the official Today with Hoda and Jenna Instagram account, Today fans instantly called out Jenna, and sometimes also Hoda, for interrupting and talking over the Brother vs. Brother stars! "Please stop talking over each other," one fan begged, while another urged Jenna to "stop because it is rude and you're going to lose your ratings." "Let your guests talk! Geeez," pleaded another. "Why even have guests on the show if you’re going to talk over/interrupt them?" someone else asked.

"This is the [expletive] interview techniques that cause me to NOT watch Hoda and Jenna," another fan began, adding, "Can we please stop this technique it’s so annoying! They get a guest on there or they show products and they race through them so fast you can’t even understand it or watch it, just please take your time with people and quit having to constantly talk over and around and above and under your guests!"

"Talking over each other as these 2 do is so annoying. This segment of the Today show has gone downhill. I have watched for a long time but now have no interest. Jenna is too competitive, she is over the top," criticized another fan. "Ask a question and then don’t let them answer by always talking over them!" exclaimed another, adding, "So over it already!"

Another added, "Man just let them talk I mean it's not about you and your hosts let guests talk or don't have the show rather hear the brothers than you." "The constant talking over each other is distracting and making us tune out!" commented another, while another noted, "He could barely answer the question," in reference to one of the Property Brothers, followed by a crying laughing emoji.
