Jenna Bush Hager

Jenna Bush Hager is one of those people who could have coasted entirely on her last name and nobody would have blamed her — being the daughter of the 43rd president is not exactly a bad foot in the door — but she genuinely earned her place in morning television. As co-host of the fourth hour of the Today show, she brings a warm, Southern-inflected realness that cuts through the usual morning-show polish, and her genuine enthusiasm for books through her book club has made her a quiet force in getting people actually reading. She also worked as a teacher before TV came calling, which feels very on-brand for someone who writes children's books on the side. A Sagittarius from Dallas with a University of Texas degree and a twin sister who happened to grow up in the White House — her life story practically writes itself, and she tells it well.
