Jenna Bush Hager has been open about her lack of dancing skills, sharing some lighthearted moments with her co-host Sheinelle Jones. During the Friday, May 1 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, Jones took on the role of impersonating Bush Hager’s 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.”
Bush Hager asked which was her favorite mode, and Jones quickly replied, “Party mode.”
“Do you want party mode?” Jones asked, then getting out of her chair and moving her hips. “How’s this? Ow!”
Bush Hager burst into laughter as her co-host took a bow.
“That’s a good one,” she praised Jones. “That’s a good one. But do I look constipated every time I dance? I look as though I need Miralax.”
Bush Hager then mimicked Jones, adding an accent and all.
“Amen…the truth of the matter…frankly…all things saying, the truth of the matter is for me…for me…Amen,” she said, putting her hands on her heart, as her friend cracked up.
“I don’t notice that I do it. She’s like, ‘You’re saying Amen again.’ Did I say it?” Jones questioned.
Bush Hager is no stranger to showing her personality on air. Just a few days prior, on the Wednesday, April 29 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, the media personality 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 about her first kiss and put some emphasis on the words to convince Valderrama.
The actor questioned whether 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 then asked if Secret Service was present at the time, but she confirmed she was “too young” to have security.
It was obvious to him 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 dishes about on her talk show as well. During the Friday, April 10 episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, she joked her man 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.”
