“Do not go into my past,” Kotb told her co-anchor before addressing Seinfeld, “I’ll tell you later.”
However, Bush Hager wanted to talk about it right then and there as she told him, “She used to wait outside and just hope she could get a glimpse of you.”
Hoda, 59, then explained that this was something she used to do with her sister, Hala, in hopes that they could catch a glimpse of the producer.
“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,” she said while laughing.

Does he take a car?'”
“This is the nicest thing I’ve heard all day. This makes me feel so good,” Seinfeld, 69, replied.
“And a little creeped?” Bush Hager, 42, asked to which he responded, “No, no, I don’t mind a little stalking. A little stalking is OK!”
Luckily for Kotb, the comedian was not “creeped” out by it. Hoda & Jenna/NBC “A little stalking is OK!” Seinfeld said while laughing. Hoda & Jenna/NBCSeinfeld eventually sat down with Kotb and Bush Hager to talk about directing and starring in his new film, “Unfrosted.”

The “Today” co-hosts have a long history of poking fun at each other since working together for the last five years.
