Jenna Bush Hager (1:29)

We are getting down to the wire because Halloween is coming. It's almost here.

You know, we know what we're going to be.

Sheinelle Jones (1:40)

I know. I went to a wedding this weekend. One of our colleagues' daughters got buried. And the groom is from Chicago.

And the entire time on the dance floor, and my colleagues can attest to this, all people wanted to talk about was Halloween this Friday and Halloween. I mean, it has become, you know, I go out on the plaza and you know, and we had our event, was it last week?

SPEAKER_1 (2:04)

Yeah.

Sheinelle Jones (2:04)

And everybody was asking Jenna, but you're good. You just have that like, I can't tell you anything.

SPEAKER_1 (2:10)

It's like the TODAY show from us.

Jenna Bush Hager (2:12)

It sort of speaks to like this place.

Sheinelle Jones (2:14)

Okay.

Jenna Bush Hager (2:15)

It used to be where all the shows and some still definitely do like, but like the other morning show. Yeah, all the morning shows did it.

And you know, ABC would do it. And I don't think they do it anymore.

Sheinelle Jones (2:29)

I remember the year that we dropped the mic and everybody just said, you know what? Let's just let the show have it.

Jenna Bush Hager (2:37)

What I think it speaks to is we're a bunch of enthusiasts.

We're going to keep going even though it's not really a competition to us. It's like, how good is it? It matters.

Sheinelle Jones (2:49)

Yeah, I remember one year they said, guys, no one is doing it anymore. They've given it to the TODAY show. So you guys, we were like, oh, what? No, it's like homecoming. You not have homecoming?

Jenna Bush Hager (2:59)

It's never over.

Sheinelle Jones (3:00)

There you go.

Jenna Bush Hager (3:01)

Well, there were some serious breaking news overnight.

People has revealed their sexiest man alive for this year. And it is Noah Wiley, aka Dr. Robbie in the pit.

Sheinelle Jones (3:13)

He is the 41st man to hold the title. So people posted the social video of Noah. He has this, you know, cardigan vibes. You know who else wears cardigans like that?

From Wicked, our friend.

SPEAKER_1 (3:29)

Jonathan Bailey.

Sheinelle Jones (3:30)

Yeah, there's something, I think, that's a hot thing.

SPEAKER_1 (3:33)

Henry would wear a vibe like that. I love it.

Jenna Bush Hager (3:34)

Because underneath, if you noticed, it was like kind of jean and rugged. And then a cardigan on top. Yes. But the problem is you get real hot.

Sheinelle Jones (3:43)

Oh, I didn't think about that.

Jenna Bush Hager (3:44)

Hot, sexy, but hot.

Sheinelle Jones (3:47)

Do guys get hot like that? Or is that just like a girl thing?

Jenna Bush Hager (3:50)

Are you kidding?

Sheinelle Jones (3:51)

Yeah.

Jenna Bush Hager (3:52)

Are you not in the studio that Craig Melvin built?

Sheinelle Jones (3:54)

He doesn't count. He's his own lane.

Jenna Bush Hager (3:56)

No, guys get hot.

Sheinelle Jones (3:57)

Yeah, Willie likes his super cold, right?

Jenna Bush Hager (4:00)

Because they get hot.

Sheinelle Jones (4:01)

Oh, duh. That's true.

That's true. We're watching this show in real time, the fact that I just said duh on television. So here's what we were wondering, or not even wondering, I think it's true. People have actually named several doctors, if you think about it, as sexiest man. If you look at the last, I don't know, gazillion years, you have George Clooney from the ERJ. Yep, and Patrick Dempsey, both two TV doctors. Yes. Back in the day, they had Denzel Washington. He played Philip Chandler on St. Elsewhere.
