Jenna Bush Hager Faces An Awkward Moment On ‘Today’ When Mary J. Blige Corrects Her About An Important Fact
March 12, 2024 by Maria Pierides
Presenting on live television every single day is no easy task and can sometimes lead to awkward mistakes – something which the Today co-hosts know all too well!
Co-hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb welcomed singer Mary J. Blige onto Today with Hoda & Jenna on Wednesday, March 6th; but Jenna made an awkward mistake when talking about the 30th anniversary of her album My Life, which was released on November 29th, 1994.
Jenna, 42, made the blunder when talking to the 53-year-old “No More Drama” singer about her album My Life, seemingly confusing it with her first album What’s The 411? which was released on July 28th, 1992.
“We have to talk about the fact that your debut album just turned 30,” the Read With Jenna founder began. The “I’m Goin’ Down” hitmaker didn’t waste any time in correcting the mother-of-three, and replied: “Well, that’s the second one. What’s the 411? was the first.”
Ever the professional, Jenna didn’t let the mistake knock her confidence and continued with the show. “Oh okay, your second album! Your second album! You’re right!” Jenna exclaimed. She then looked at her friend and co-host Hoda, and confessed: “We Googled it because we were like, ‘It can’t be 30 years old.'”
