Chatting to ET, the mother-of-two reassured everyone it was just a laughing matter. "We don't [have a feud]," Savannah laughed. "It's the silliest, but, you know, what can you do?"
Hoda also responded, saying: "You know, you get a kick out of it," she tells ET. "I feel like sometimes some things just sell magazines, and you're buying it! What are you thinking?!"
Savannah and Hoda are both working moms and often take comfort from each other during work hours too as they balance looking after their young children and hosting a busy morning news show.

Chatting about the support system she has with Savannah in an interview with Good Housekeeping earlier in the year, Hoda explained: "I have some nights where I really messed up and I know I did. And I come in the next morning [thinking], I feel terrible for what I did. What was I thinking? Why did I think that was going to work? They went to bed crying. Like, I don't want that to be me. But then I talk to Savannah. She'll say, 'That was my Wednesday,' it makes you feel less alone."
