Tension at NBC’s Today Show: Jenna Bush Hager Snubs Colleagues for A-List Stars

There’s a storm brewing at NBC’s Today show, where colleagues are bristling over Jenna Bush Hager bypassing them in favor of revolving A-list cohosts — including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, Keke Palmer and Scarlett Johansson — now that Hoda Kotb has left. “On-air talent are pissed,” spills a network insider.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and instead of giving one of her colleagues a shot, Jenna’s gone the celebrity route!”

Sources whisper that Jill Martin, Tom Llamas and Hallie Jackson are particularly frustrated. “They’re furious,” spills a tattler.

“These are seasoned professionals who have paid their dues, but how can they compete with movie stars?”
