Jenna Bush Hager is adjusting to life on the NBC morning show without her former co-host, Hoda Kotb, who departed earlier this year.
Jenna reveals that Hoda, even after her exit, keeps a watchful eye on her former team. She’s still handing out feedback and praise, a testament to Hoda’s supportive nature. Jenna appreciates it, describing Hoda as “supportive” and “amazing,” values she truly cherishes.
Since Hoda’s departure to focus on her daughters Haley and Hope, Jenna has had quite the experience, hosting alongside an interesting mix of personalities. It’s been three months, but for Jenna, it’s been a whirlwind sitting next to 21 different co-hosts. This ever-changing roster has brought the team closer. For Jenna, it’s a lesson in appreciating those around you.
Barbara Bush, Jenna’s twin, noted Dwyane Wade as a standout guest host. His engaging personality brought fun and unexpected depth to the show, resonating well with both Jenna and Barbara. Jenna was delighted by Dwyane’s spontaneous and curious nature, and felt their dynamic had a special spark, something that caught her pleasantly by surprise.
Barbara also had the opportunity to co-host with Jenna, promoting their new book ‘I Love You First.’ The book reflects their familial love, a sentiment echoed in their work on the show. The Bush twins continue to cherish moments of family love, both on and off the screen.
Though Hoda Kotb’s absence is felt, Jenna Bush Hager swiftly adapts, embracing new experiences and voices while valuing Hoda’s ongoing support.
