Jenna Bush Hager wasn’t about to let Al Roker get away with an awkward nickname, and she made her feelings clear on live television. During Thursday’s episode of Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, Jenna recalled an incident from earlier in the week when she walked onto the Today show set wearing red. According to Jenna, Al greeted her with an unexpected nickname: “Hey, Big Red!” But the reaction from the women around them was immediate. Jenna said the other women quickly protested, while co-host Sheinelle Jones reenacted their shocked reactions. Jenna then explained why the nickname crossed a line for her. “You can’t call somebody, a woman ‘big!’” she said. Sheinelle joked that Al should have called her “Skinny Red!” instead. She also recalled Savannah Guthrie reacting with disbelief before Al apparently struggled to understand what he had done wrong. The weatherman reportedly tried suggesting alternative nicknames, including “Tall Red,” but Jenna wasn’t convinced. “I’m like, ‘Not okay!’” she exclaimed. Although the exchange was playful, it touched on something more personal for Jenna. She has previously spoken about struggling with body image from a young age, revealing that she once wrote a fourth-grade New Year’s resolution about losing five pounds. In 2023, Jenna explained that becoming a mother helped change how she viewed her body. She said she began to appreciate it for what it could do rather than worrying about how it looked. Her reaction shows how even a seemingly harmless nickname can touch a sensitive subject. Do you think Al’s nickname was harmless teasing, or was Jenna right to call it out? \#JennaBushHager #AlRoker #TodayShow #CelebrityNews #bodyimage - @midnightpianist.us
