Jenna Bush Hager Confesses On ‘Today’ She Doesn’t “Wear Panties” – Then Asks Producers To “Cut Out” That Moment From The Broadcast

Jenna Bush Hager is known for being competitive, which is why it came as no surprise that she pulled no punches when she had to debate her Today co-host Hoda Kotb about several holiday-related topics.

One such topic was whether people should buy a Christmas gift for a loved one off their wishlist or go “rogue” and pick one out for them.

Kotb kicked off the debate by defending going rogue. “As a good friend of mine said, it’s like running an errand. Here’s my list, go buy it for me and bring it to my house,” she said. “It’s an errand wrapped in paper so you have to do your own thing. You go to the store, you think about the one you love, go rogue!”

But Bush Hager went all out as she explained why you’re better off sticking to someone’s wishlist.

“The one time my Aunt Smith went rogue, she brought me some big ol’ granny panties,” she announced. “I don’t wear panties, everybody knows that!”

She continued, “I think you’ve got to buy people what they want.” Neither Kotb or Bush Hager could hold back their laughter during her ranting.

But, despite Bush Hager’s best efforts, Kotb still won that round.

“What?! I humiliated myself for that!” Bush Hager said. She then asked that they “go ahead and cut out that part.”

Surprisingly enough, this isn’t the first time Bush Hager has announced that she doesn’t wear underwear regularly. In fact, her daughter once announced it on live television.

Mila, who was then nine years old, had already embarrassed her mom by announcing that she once “peed her pants” from laughing so hard in the living room.

Bush Hager then tried to guide her daughter off stage, telling Kotb, “I love her so much but it’s time for her to go because if she’s already dropped one truth bomb, who knows what’s coming here?”

But Kotb then began to dig for more information, to which Mila responded, “She never wears underwear.”

She then added, “She’s not wearing it right now! I saw her change,” as her mother embarrassedly tried to rush her off the stage.
