Savannah Guthrie Shares Her Only Moment of Jealousy
Savannah Guthrie, a well-known NBC anchor, recently opened up about a unique moment in her life when she felt envious of her close friend and co-host on the Today show, Jenna Bush Hager. This revelation came during the Monday, June 1 episode of the morning talk show, where she was speaking with guests Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
Guthrie began by asking Hathaway about the reception of the new film “Devil Wears Prada 2,” which has been widely loved by audiences. “Are you breathing a huge sigh of relief? … How good does that feel?” she asked the actress. Hathaway, who recently wrapped up a whirlwind press tour for the summer fashion film, responded with excitement. “I think what you just said about the huge sigh of relief because we love it too, and we didn’t wanna come back and disappoint everybody. But the way that it’s been embraced, to the level that it has, has been overwhelming and beyond any of our wildest dreams,” she shared.
A Potential ‘Devil Wears Prada 3’ Movie?
The conversation then turned to the possibility of a third installment in the “Devil Wears Prada” series. Hathaway expressed her hope for a sequel, saying, “I hope so!” Guthrie then playfully asked, “Can I get a cameo?” She added, “Because Jenna Bush Hager got a cameo in 2, and it is the first and only time in our friendship that I’ve been jealous.”
The second film in the franchise, “Devil Wears Prada 2,” premiered in theaters on May 1 and follows Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, teaming up with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly to save their beloved Runway magazine from a tycoon.
Jenna Bush Hager’s Cameo in the Sequel
Jenna Bush Hager had a brief cameo in the sequel, where she portrayed one of the journalists Miranda invites to her party in the Hamptons. Hager shared her experience of being part of the film on her Substack last month, explaining how she managed to secure an interview with the cast due to her appearance in the movie.
“I got the interview because the summer before, I was an extra (blink and you’ll miss me!) in the film,” Hager wrote. “On that July day, the sun beat down on me, exasperating my nervous sweat. As soon as I arrived, the LOVELY director David Frankel made an announcement: ‘Meryl, Anne and Jenna..’ Jenna?? I am not an actor. I was out of place. It lasted ten minutes but we improvised a scene. It was scary and it was fun. Another moment of wild out-of-body bravery,” she continued.
Hager’s sit-down with the cast of “Devil Wears Prada 2” aired in April, where they discussed the new movie — 20 years after the original film debuted. Streep, who is 79, recounted how the idea for a sequel came about. “They started talking about a sequel, but we all waited until we had that good idea,” she said. “It’s almost like the world had to shift in that way for Aline [Brosh McKenna], who wrote the original, to get a new idea that made sense.”
