As she joked on the morning show’s ex-President George W. Bush would likely decline a co-hosting invitation. When Al Roker humorously suggested that the 43rd president would rise to the occasion, Craig Melvin chimed in, noting that Bush even skipped "family week," where Jenna's husband Henry Hager, sister Barbara Bush with cousins Wendy Stapleton and Sam LeBlond joined as co-hosts. Jenna confirmed this and shared that when she recently asked him to join for Father's Day, his response was still a tentative "maybe." Despite this, Jenna openly reflects on her unique upbringing as a "first kid," offering insights into her life in the public eye.
When Henry served as co-host on March 27, the duo reminisced about their first kiss and what “happened later” with the Texas-native joking about the unusual place he’s had to do that walk from.
