The second “Cringe” television show, starring Jenna Bush and Justin Sylvester, divides viewers. Co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Justin Sylvester revealed a television moment that some viewers described as “hands-on” and “embarrassing” during the printing of How to Cook the Perfect Sticky Sweet Pot Roast Chicken with chef and cookbook author Andy Baraghani at the program this morning. Today is the show.
Reddit posts on the subject have received 5.7K reactions and over 500 suggestions, while the tweets have racked up a ton of likes.
Justin Sylvester and Jenna Bush Hager co-host Andy Baraghani’s Roast Cock part
The segment lasts just under five minutes.
Jenna and Justin introduce cookbook author Andy Baraghani at the beginning of the episode, and he tells them how his latest book, The Cook You Want To Be, joined the New York Times bestseller list.
He states that he “will never forget” and that it was “extremely emotional”. That’s where I started crying. I was so thankful. Very content.
After the preparation of the sauce and the application of the rooster, a shallot is cut and cooked before modeling a rooster that chef Baraghani had previously prepared. Look at the next section:
Except what happened that people call ‘cringe’ and ‘weird’?
Justin and Jenna are clearly delighted to see Andy. First, Justin insists that he sit next to him during the lesson.
Bush Hager informs him, “He’s the cook because he wants to be around you. Sylvester’s eyes widen and he sits up straight as Baraghani calls the rooster “hot and sticky.”
When Andy explains how to create the sauce, Justin leans in, to which Jenna replies, “He’s hogging you.” Justin has twice pushed Jenna away from him in response to her reaching out.
Baraghani mentions his partner after Sylvester makes a comment about “getting everything oiled up” and rolls up his (temporary) shirt to reveal more of his arm.
Twitter and Reddit react to Jenna and Justin’s awkward TV moment
Prospects have been sharing their thoughts on sticky sweet chicken in the aforementioned Reddit thread.
One person defends the co-hosts by saying it was just a “dumb joke” what they were doing. The prank, according to the person, had Jenna Bush Hager “pretending to flirt” with Andy Baraghani, who was “clearly gay,” while Justin Sylvester was “pretending to flirt” with him.
The speaker emphasizes the need to find creative ways to make cooking attractive to the general public. Nigella Lawson has her own methods of throwing culinary parties, while Gordon Ramsay has “burnt his vocal cords screaming insults at random cooks.”
Yes, the person admits, “the part isn’t funny and it’s a little awkward.” Another says: “They were fighting like cats and dogs over the man. he made it funny at the end.
Others have called it ‘weird’ and co-hosts Bush Hager and Sylvester ‘handsy’
Some people have not just used the word “cringe.” The co-hosts had been “like two little girls,” one Reddit user admitted.
Strange comments everywhere, violation of personal space, and general distaste.
Some have called for disciplinary action against Jenna Bush Hager because they know she is the daughter of former President George W. Bush. One more person says that she “is not well”.
On the proposals that have been made regarding the role, neither Jenna nor Justin have made public statements. TODAY’s Hoda and Jenna have contacted HITC for comment.
