The Today Show's Jenna Bush Hager faced an unexpected challenge during her live broadcast on Monday. As the cameras rolled, she noticed an awkward on-air mishap: her guest co-host Brooke Shields' chair was significantly lower than her own. This discrepancy caused a moment of confusion, prompting Bush Hager to exclaim, 'Something's wrong!'
The incident unfolded as Bush Hager, towering over Shields, called for assistance from her producers and the Today show crew. Shields, with humor, acknowledged the situation, saying, 'I get it, it's your show! I get it!'
The issue was promptly resolved when a crew member brought a different chair for Shields. Bush Hager, relieved, confessed that this was the first time the show had encountered such a chair issue. The mishap, however, sparked a wave of support for Shields, with viewers calling for her to become a permanent co-host.
This incident comes at a time when the show is navigating changes, following Hoda Kotb's departure in January. While there's no rush to find a permanent replacement, the show's producers are open to guest co-hosts, and viewers are eager to see more of Shields. The question remains: could this be the start of a new era for the Today Show?
