When asked how their three-year anniversary felt, Kotb explained that "it doesn't feel like three years," as Bush added, "Great," though she playfully teased, "What is the three-year anniversary gift?" In another moment from the show, Kotb and Hager were under the impression that they would be chatting with a loyal fan to celebrate their anniversary when they were instead surprised by Trisha Yearwood, who appeared virtually before them. "Trisha? Wait, what?" Kotb screamed with glee as Hager exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, we're both shocked."
