Honestly, WTF is happening at “Today with Jenna & Friends?”
Just days after guest co-host Tyra Banks vividly detailed some of her disgusting interests, another celebrity decided to double down on the daytime talk show’s gross factor by sharing a story about pooping his pants.
During Tuesday’s episode, host Jenna Bush Hager and her guest co-host Matt Rogers decided to play a game called “Secrets” with the stars of the Amazon series “The Terminal List,” which included Chris Pratt, Luke Hemsworth, Tom Hopper and Taylor Kitsch.

Basically, Bush Hager and Rogers had to guess each actor’s secret, and Kitsch decided to share one in which he put himself in a pretty crappy situation.
The former “Friday Night Lights” heartthrob began by explaining that there’s a coffee truck in Los Angeles that he loves and he’s been going to for years that serves really “strong coffee.”
“I was in L.A. living out of my car, and I’d get all of these crazy auditions, like, four in a day, and I needed a strong coffee,” the “Waco: The Aftermath” star began while, amusingly, sitting on a stool. “I’m having it, driving to the audition, I’m sitting in the waiting room just like this, and I shit myself. No joke.”
Kitsch’s confession left everyone on the stage shocked, but he continued.
The “American Primeval” star recalled that after he soiled himself, he realized that the restroom wasn’t far from where he was sitting.
“The bathroom door is right there. I’m like, ‘Oh my God,’” Kitsch said.
“Did you still audition?!” Bush Hager asked.
“I’m going in the audition room, I threw my underwear in the garbage can, came back out, and waited and did not get the job,” he said.
“Wow,” a stunned Bush Hager said, trying to change the topic and move on to another actor’s secret.
But much like water in a clogged toilet, the topic of Kitsch baking brownies in his own briefs kept on coming back up, no matter how hard everyone on stage tried to flush it away.
“Taylor, do you regret spilling that secret?” Bush Hager asked.
“No, not at all,” Kitsch said.
“Do you remember what you were auditioning for?” a curious Pratt piped in.
“Calvin Klein,” Hemsworth joked, garnering a few laughs.
“It was a pilot, a TV show of some sorts,” Kitsch said.
“Not ‘Friday Night Lights?’” Bush Hager said, referring to Kitsch’s breakout role as brooding football player Tim Riggins.
“No, I got that one,” Kitsch said, prompting everyone to laugh.
The “John Carter” star’s use of the word “shit,” which was censored, marks the second time in weeks someone on “Today” has used a curse word during the live broadcast.
Late last month, Bush Hager casually used the word “asshole” live on air. When she was scolded for using the word by her crew off-stage, Bush Hager insisted she was allowed to swear at least once during a daytime TV broadcast, because she recalled doing it once before in the past.
“That’s just ‘Schitt’s Creek’?” Bush Hager innocently asked the crew, referring to the Emmy-winning comedy that used the name “Schitt” in its title as a joke.
