On the Monday, September 9, episode of 'Today,' Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush raved over their time at the U.S Open.

"Tennis is fun! We were loud and annoying," Kotb, 60, confessed, to which her pal noted that retired tennis star Stan Smith, 77, "asked us ... to be louder."

"We were loud," Kotb confirmed. "I thought we were kind of loud."

"I think Anna Wintour asked us to quiet down," Hager, 42, admitted.

"They were singing and dancing and kissing," Kotb said. "Congratulations to them. Having fun. They're living their best lives."

"[Requests came in] day and night. I had dreams — I would wake up in the middle of the night and think, Do I have to check my email?" one ex-staffer spilled of being on alert. "She's always talking to you. It would just be constant emails, she was just firing away all the time."

"Each assistant was responsible for their own set of things. Whenever she wasn't in the office was when you were able to get those things done. Then she'd come into the office. It was very much like in The Devil Wears Prada when they're all like, 'She's coming!'" another employee stated. "I was always scrambling to get ready. You're literally putting things away, making sure everything looks great. Then once she's in the office, it was kind of like, whatever she asked, you do it."
