NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fans recently witnessed a slightly new makeover on ‘Today With Hoda & Jenna,’ the spin-off talk show of ‘Today’ show featuring Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.

This new look was well appreciated by ‘Today’ fans, however, it did not include Kotb, who was missing from her spot next to Hager.

Instead, Hager sat next to her sister, Barbara Bush. While the sister duo also graced ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ a few days ago, it was their appearance on 'Today' that stole hearts.

As Hager and Barbara hosted the ‘Today’ segment together, they garnered admiration from fans who expressed a desire to see them co-host more often. 

Additionally, the duo released their third picture book titled 'Love Comes First.'

Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush take over ‘Today’

On the ‘Today’ show, the sisters took over to talk about some of their first loves as their book got them thinking about “loves of all kinds,” as explained by Jenna Bush Hager.

Hager and Barbara then played a game in line with the same theme.



 

They talked about the “first concert” they ever loved and attended together, which was a Paul Simon concert they went to, with their mother.

As for their “first crush,” Hager immediately remembered that Barbara’s first crush was Jared Leto, and Barbara and Hager then joked about how Michael Bolton was Hager’s first crush as she listened to him “all the time.”

The Bush sisters continued with the game, and a few other segments, before Hager bid goodbye to her sister, as the whole crew clapped and hooted for Barbara.
