Savannah and Hoda teamed up for a cooking segment in the kitchen with cookbook author Elizabeth Heiskell.
While the female hosts attempted to help in the kitchen, both Al Roker and Craig Melvin sat at a table along with three Yankees players Gerrit Cole, Jose Trevino, and Anthony Rizzo.
The players were on a previous segment to talk about Yankees HOPE Week, and were invited to try some of the food on-camera.
But fans noticed the segment spiraled quickly and turned awkward.

As the chef was speaking and Savannah was mixing a salad, Hoda walked over to the table and asked: "Wait - are we done?"
Savannah replied: "Yea that's it. Moving on. We'll just move on, we don't have time for all that," as she dismissively waved her hand in front of Hoda and cut off the guest from speaking.
Viewers could hear Hoda nervously laughing in the background as a close-up of the camera showed Savannah continuing to mix the salad.
An awkward pause ensued before the guest started talking again about farmer's market produce.

Fans noticed that the two Today hosts not only talked over each other, but also over the guests in the segment.
'CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER'
The awkward segment comes as a source close to production on the Today Show exclusively told The Sun that despite their sunny dispositions towards each other on-screen, behind the scenes Savannah and Hoda secretly "can't stand each other."
"Savannah is the boss. After Matt Lauer was ousted, Savannah grabbed power, and she really wanted Willy Geist in Hoda's role, but his ratings were just not up to par for the network.
"Hoda out maneuvered Savannah and got the spot."
Beyond that, the insider added that Savannah "thinks of herself as a real news person," while Hoda is seen as "the lightweight that drank wine with Kathy Lee Gifford."
TIME APART
Both hosts recently returned from some extended vacation time, and fans noticed the uncomfortable tension between the two.
While they usually all break off into smaller groups to report from the anchor desk, the TV personalities came together to sit on two small couches for the pop culture news aspect of the show.
Fans said they all seemed very uneasy during this group segment.
“Y’all all look uncomfortably awkward on the couch,” one viewer said.
They added that only Hoda seemed to be able to look natural and calm.

One blasted Savannah during this segment, writing: “Why is Savannah Guthrie always such a ‘ball hog’ when it comes to attention when the group is on the couch?
“She had to consume time and attention away from Carson [Daly]’s PopStart for her cushion issues? Really?”
