Morris Chestnut’s Witty Exchange Stuns Today Show Hosts
Morris Chestnut, the star of the popular series “Watson,” recently left “Today” hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Willie Geist in disbelief with a humorous remark about his wife. Chestnut appeared on “Today With Jenna & Friends” to discuss his new CBS medical mystery show when an unexpected moment took center stage.
Shared Connections: Meeting at Clubs
Jenna Bush Hager pointed out a charming similarity between her and Chestnut, noting that both met their spouses in social settings—she at a bar and Chestnut at a club. Bush Hager exclaimed, “It shows you the clubs can bring us together!” while highlighting that Chestnut has been married to his wife, Pam Byse, for 29 years, encouraging him to share how they met.
A Joke That Sparked Laughter
Chestnut’s witty response took everyone by surprise. “Yes, yes. She was on pole number seven,” he joked, prompting laughter from Bush Hager and Geist. A shocked Willie Geist exclaimed, “No! I didn’t know [the poles] were numbered.”
Clarifying the Club Story
As the laughter subsided, Chestnut explained people’s usual reactions to the story of their meeting. “We met at a nightclub. People say, ‘Oh, you met her at a club?’ But I always say, ‘Have you ever been to a club?’ And they respond, ‘Yeah!’ Everyone has been to a club,” he stated. Chestnut emphasized that there are good people to meet at clubs; it all depends on the intentions.
