Former First Daughter Jenna Bush Scores TV Correspondent on Today Show

Friday, September 25, 2009

Former first daughter and White House teenage terror, Jenna Bush Hager, was hired as a correspondent for the Today Show, where she will contribute monthly pieces on education and literacy. Hager, 27-years-old, works as a school teacher in Baltimore, where she resides with her husband Henry.

After two prior appearances on the Today Show, Jim Bell, executive producer for the show, was impressed with Hager’s natural presence before the cameras. She appeared with her mother to promote their picture book and Hager appeared alone on a different occasion to promote her book about an HIV-infected single mother, “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope.”

Bell denies hiring the former first daughter as a backdoor way to score a coveted interview with her father, former President Bush, who has largely stayed behind the scenes since leaving public office. “…When she came here for a handful of appearances, she knocked it out of the park,” said Bell
