For many Today With Jenna & Friends fans, Matt Rogers is their top contender to become Jenna Bush Hager‘s permanent cohost.
On the show’s Wednesday, October 15, episode, Bush Hager recalled celebrating the release of her book imprint’s first published novel, Conform, at an event the night before. “A lot of moms and daughters came up to me, and it turns out, Matt Rogers is their favorite,” she told Rogers, who is her current Jenna & Friends guest host.
