‘Today’ host Carson Daly praises co-host Jenna Bush Hager’s gig in Texas, calls her ‘perfect person for the job’
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ host Carson Daly has recently revealed that his co-host Jenna Bush Hager will be sent to Texas for a project and praised her for being the “perfect person for the job.”
During Daly’s PopStart segment on Monday, October 23, 2023, he announced a new show by Chip and Joanna Gaines which will premiere next month (November).
He also revealed that the daughter of former president George W Bush would be going to Texas to share more about the new show and meet the crew.
This comes after a recent on-air discussion where Daly shared a previously undisclosed detail regarding his marriage that had prompted a reaction from Al Roker who asked him to keep it private.
In the episode, Daly revealed that he sleeps in a different part of the house, potentially separate from his wife Siri Daly.
Daly expressed that this arrangement suits their relationship well.
While discussing Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s separation, Daly jokingly added, “I'm sleep divorced, I sleep downstairs, I've never been happier!"
What is Jenna Bush Hager’s new gig about?
During Monday's show, the 50-year-old Daly took the lead in the PopStart segment. He kicked off the segment by sharing exciting news about a new show featuring Chip and Joanna Gaines.
"The home expert couple is back with a new series 'Fixer Upper: The Hotel’," announced the ‘Today’ host.
He continued, “For this one, Chip and Joanna are transforming a 100-year-old historic building near Magnolia Market into a boutique hotel."
He then showed a sneak peek of the trailer which revealed that the show will premiere on Wednesday, November 8, on Magnolia Network.
Daly then praised his co-host Jenna Bush Hager and said, “Next month, we're going to get an inside look into that project, and hospitality as well. Jenna's gonna head down to Wacko to pay the Gaines crew a visit.”
"You're not going to want to miss that. She's going to be the perfect person for that job. For sure,” added Daly.
Although Daly’s co-hosts agreed with his announcement before he smoothly transitioned to the next pop culture topic, Hager was absent during this particular announcement.
