With no permanent lined up for Hoda yet, Jenna has invited various celebs to join her on air, including Scarlett Johansson, Dwayne Wade, and of course, Tiffany.
Jenna surprised fans when she confessed she had formed an unexpected bond with Tiffany.
The Girl's Trip star joined the presenter on the Jenna & Friends segment from April 23 to April 25, and the pair's chemistry was evident from their first on-screen moment together.
Jenna gushed about their friendship on social media - and took to Instagram to share how a real friendship had bloomed between them. "Sometimes you meet friends at unexpected times! Love you @tiffanyhaddish," she wrote.
It seems Jenna has been enjoying a jet-set lifestyle of late. She appeared to have a whale of a time on
a recent girls' trip
to Paris with her gal pals.
Jenna, 43, took a break from her mommy duties to jet off to the City of Lights with four friends for a quick trip. The television host shared pictures from
the mini-vacation
to her 1.5 million followers on her Instagram Story on Wednesday.
However, it's unclear when the photos were taken since Jenna was live on air on April 30, but it seems as though the former First Daughter had a blast during her French getaway.
The pictures ranged from a couple of group shots of the women looking chic in dark sunglasses, to enjoying dinner underneath a crystal chandelier and enjoying some French wine together.
