'Today' Star Hoda Kotb Got Emotional Seeing Jenna Bush Hager's Thrilling Skydiving Jump
Jenna Bush Hager is feeling a little closer to her late grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, after her latest adventure.
Last Thursday, the Today coanchor celebrated what would have been his 97th birthday by skydiving, a passion George discovered while serving as a fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy in World War II. Jenna was accompanied by the Golden Knights, the same U.S. Army parachute team that helped the 41st president leap several times throughout his life.

While Jenna prepared to jump from 10,000 feet in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, fellow Today cohosts Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Carson Daly watched from NBC’s Studio-1A in New York City. As she soared through the blue skies, the Today show cast heard Jenna yelling out Hoda’s name.
“Is she screaming your name?” Craig asked while Hoda, Carson, Al and Savannah giggled in the background. When Jenna’s parachute finally released, she breathed a sigh of relief. “I did it!” she said. “Oh my gosh, here we are.” The Today show crew immediately began cheering her on for her courageous effort. Hoda in particular got super emotional watching Jenna.
