While chatting aboutThe White Lotus, the twin sisters, 41, reminisced about fond memories they have from a random encounter with Coolidge several years ago.
Barbara, who guest hostedToday with Hoda & Jennaalongside her sister on Thursday while regular co-hostHoda Kotbwas out, shared her “love” for Coolidge and prompted Jenna to recall that they “once hung out with Jennifer Coolidge at a bar.”
“It was right after she was Stifler’s mom,” Barbara said, referencing the actress’ career-launching role inAmerican Piein 1999.
“We took watermelon shots, do you remember?” Jenna asked, to which Barbara said the shots were “gross.”
“No, no they were delicious!” Jenna disagreed. “The watermelon shot was good!”

The sistersreleased their third picture booktogether on Tuesday,Love Comes First,a follow-up to their #1New York Timesbestseller,Sisters First, which they released in 2019.
The book follows a set of sisters who wish on a star for a sibling and get both a younger brother and a new cousin.
Barbara said they were inspired to write a book focused not just on sisterly love but “more broadly about love and the way that it can be, via family or chosen family, bigger than sisterhood,” according toThe New York Times.
