Overview
- On Thursday, May 28, Halle Berry appeared on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle for a Pink Chair Questionnaire and twice misheard Jenna Bush Hager’s question about her “biggest ick” as a lewd term.
- The misunderstanding provoked on-set laughter, a playful cue-card slap from co-host Sheinelle Jones, and the show’s producers censored the end of the question before a commercial break.
- Responding to what she thought was the explicit prompt, Berry named her partner Van Hunt, and Bush Hager repeatedly insisted on-air that she had said “ick.”
- After the gag, the interview moved into a longer conversation in which Berry discussed aging, menopause, sexual health and a patient-friendly speculum product she mentioned during the segment.
- The clip went viral and was covered by entertainment outlets that combined the joke with biographical detail, and the moment illustrates routine live-TV safeguards like short delays to manage unexpected language.
