Jenna Bush Hager shared some lighthearted moments about her dancing abilities during an episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle. The show, which aired on Friday, May 1, featured a playful exchange between Bush Hager and her co-host, Sheinelle Jones.
Jones, who is 48 years old, took on the role of imitating Bush Hager’s dance moves. “You know your friends when you can imitate the other person,” Jones said. “Jenna has different modes of operation. She has the ‘boss, I’ve got it going on’ mode. She has the ‘oh, it’s time to party’ mode.”
When asked which mode she preferred, Bush Hager, who is 44, quickly responded with “party mode.” Jones then jumped out of her chair and began moving her hips. “How’s this? Ow!” she exclaimed, prompting Bush Hager to burst into laughter.
“That’s a good one,” Bush Hager praised. “That’s a good one. But do I look constipated every time I dance? I look as though I need Miralax.”
Bush Hager then turned the tables by mimicking Jones, complete with an accent. “Amen… the truth of the matter… frankly… all things saying, the truth of the matter is for me… for me… Amen,” she said, placing her hands on her heart while Jones laughed uncontrollably.
“I don’t notice that I do it. She’s like, ‘You’re saying Amen again.’ Did I say it?” Jones questioned.
Bush Hager has always been open about her personality on air. Just a few days before, on the April 29 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, she shared details about her first kiss during a game of “Spy the Lie” with Jones, judged by Wilmer Valderrama.
“My first kiss was during a game of Spin the Bottle, and unfortunately, the boy’s breath tasted like Cheetos,” she revealed.
“Tasted, huh?” Jones asked.
“Well, smelled and tasted,” Bush Hager clarified.
Jones repeated the same statement, emphasizing certain words to convince Valderrama of its authenticity.
Valderrama then asked if she gets “triggered” by bottles today. “I don’t get triggered because I played willingly…” Bush Hager replied. “It wasn’t ‘7 Minutes in Heaven,’ because that might be triggering.”
Valderrama also inquired if the Secret Service was present at the time, but Bush Hager confirmed she was too young to have security. He immediately realized that Bush Hager was the only one telling the truth.
“I was such a good girl. I would not have been playing Spin the Bottle!” Jones exclaimed.
The first kiss was not with Bush Hager’s current husband, Henry Hager, whom she often talks about on her talk show. During the April 10 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, she joked about how Henry used to leave her notes when they went bed shopping.
“When Henry and I first got married, we walked, we lived in Baltimore, to the Mattress Giant down the street. We bought the ‘celebrity.’ It was a Tempur-Pedic…” she recounted. “We put some money down…we paid it off. He would write things like, ‘Can’t wait to…’ That sounds weird.”
Jenna later finished, “I wasn’t being nasty. We love to be horizontal.”
