While discussing The Devil Wears Prada 2 during the April 8 broadcast, Melvin casually said: “By the way, do you know how good this movie is going to be?” Melvin asked. “You know how I can tell? JBH is involved!” The camera immediately panned to Jenna Bush Hager, who looked visibly stunned and her mouth open in disbelief.
What happened in the Live Today episode?
The unexpected announcement instantly changed the atmosphere of the studio. Bush Hager quickly responded: “I don’t know if you were supposed to drop that bomb, but if so…” he walked away in surprise.
Clearly enjoying the moment, Savannah Guthrie chimed in with a joke: “This is live broadcast. You can’t say anything to Craig!”
Realizing what had just happened, Melvin looked shocked himself and tried to evade the topic, saying: “I thought this was something everyone knew?”
Al Roker then added to the laughter: “It just happened!”
How did Jenna Bush Hager react?
Bush Hager’s confused expression said it all before he even spoke. As the laughter continued in the studio, Melvin tried to escape the mistake by joking, “Cut the other broadcasts! Sorry about that JBH.”
Continuing his playful mood, Guthrie told him: “By the way, why don’t you read your diary?”
When asked if he had anything else to reveal, Melvin replied: “Something bad!” he admitted.
