Jenna Bush Hager to Join NBC today

Jenna Bush Hager will become a special correspondent to NBC's Today show, NBC announced. "It wasn't something I'd always dreamed to do. But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change," said Hager. Hager, 27, was approached by Today Show executive producer Jim Bell. She will contribute stories once a month covering such topics as education, in which she has professional experience. Bell said: "I think she can handle it. She knows something about pressure and being under some scrutiny. When she came here for a handful of appearances [to promote her books], she knocked it out of the park." Hager is a two-time author and teacher in Baltimore and a daughter of former President George W Bush. Her debut on Today is likely to take place in September.
