Savannah Guthrie is reflecting on a slightly mischievous moment from a previous workplace holiday party.
During a recent episode of Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager, the 53-year-old TV journalist made a surprising confession while the co-hosts discussed a “Girl Code” advice segment.

“My office holiday party is in a few days … My work bestie Jackie usually gets ‘over-served’ and becomes inappropriately flirty at these events. Last year she was all over our boss and she doesn’t remember it at all. Should I say something beforehand or take the risk?” is what the letter stated.
“I just have to say, as someone who has spanked a network correspondent at a holiday party…,” Savannah admitted. She was quick to clarify that it wasn’t exactly what it sounded like, explaining it was “an air spanking, so I don’t think I actually — it wasn’t hand [contact].”
When Jenna asked whether the incident involved a man or a woman, Savannah replied, “Obviously it was a guy!” She wouldn’t disclose who was on the receiving end of the spanking.
Jenna then joked, “You’ve spanked me before,” which Savannah acknowledged, adding, “But we’re at that point in our friendship.”
As for advice, she suggested leaving the situation as is, telling the viewer, “It won’t be well received,” and adding, “She doesn’t remember it. I don’t think any good can come from it.”
