“Today” host Hoda Kotb recently revealed the worst guest she ever had on the show, but it’s not really for a bad reason.

Kotb appeared on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” with her former “Today” co-host Kathie Lee Gifford.

  • The two played “Plead the Fifth,” a question game where you have to answer questions. You can only “Plead the Fifth” for one question.
  • “Who do you think was my least favorite guest of all time?” Gifford asked. “And I bet it was yours too.”

Kotb responded with a simple answer — Frank Sinatra Jr.

  • “It was the worst guest we’ve ever had, bar none,” Kotb explained. “He came for a book, he had a book he was promoting, and he didn’t want to talk about it, so he didn’t say anything. So weird.”
