Justin Sylvester Opens Up About Jenna Bush Hager’s Winning Personality
Let’s talk about why Jenna Bush Hager is the real MVP of the 'Today' show. Justin Sylvester, the charismatic E! News personality, recently shared his admiration for Jenna’s warm and welcoming demeanor. He revealed that anyone who gets the chance to sit beside her instantly feels like they’re part of the family. That’s right—Jenna has this incredible knack for making everyone feel right at home, and Justin knows firsthand how special that is.
At just 38 years old, Justin has seen his fair share of cohosts, but there’s something unique about Jenna. After guest cohosting with her from February 18 to February 21, he couldn’t help but gush about her positive energy. Jenna, who’s now 43, isn’t just a cohost—she’s a friend, a confidant, and someone who genuinely cares about those around her. It’s no wonder Justin felt so comfortable in her presence.
Jenna’s Journey and the Southern Charm That Sets Her Apart
Justin wasn’t shy about sharing his excitement for Jenna’s growth on the show. “She’s so southern, and we Southern girls know how to make people feel welcome,” Justin told People. He’s been a loyal supporter since Jenna’s early days on the show, cohosting with her back in 2022 when she first stepped in for Hoda Kotb. For Justin, it’s been a privilege to witness Jenna’s journey firsthand. “To see her take on this role has been such a blessing for me,” he said, his pride shining through every word.

But Jenna’s charm doesn’t stop at being welcoming. Justin also highlighted her incredible sense of humor. “Every time I see her, I’m reminded of how funny she is,” he confessed. Whether it’s in the makeup room, during commercial breaks, or even on set, Jenna keeps everyone in stitches. “This girl is so funny and so down to earth, it’s unbelievable,” Justin added. That kind of authenticity is rare in the world of television, and it’s one of the reasons Jenna stands out.
Kyle Richards: The Voice of Reason Behind the Scenes
Before Justin stepped into the spotlight, he leaned on a trusted friend for advice. Kyle Richards, the ever-stylish star of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' has always been Justin’s rock. “Kyle reminded me to just be myself and told me I got this,” Justin shared. Those words of encouragement meant the world to him, especially as he prepared for such a high-profile gig. “This is something I’ve been praying for, and it’s an honor to be the first gay BFF on 'Jenna & Friends,'” he added with a smile.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the relaunch of 'Today With Hoda & Jenna' as 'Today With Jenna & Friends' following Hoda’s departure in January. Since then, Jenna has welcomed a star-studded lineup of guest cohosts, including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, Keke Palmer, and Scarlett Johansson. And let’s not forget about Heather McMahan, who fans can look forward to seeing this week from February 24 to February 28.
Why Jenna Bush Hager is Irreplaceable
When it comes to Jenna, Justin knows he’s part of something special. “If Jenna says, ‘Let’s hang out at Trader Joe’s,’ I’m there,” he joked. “Anyone who gets to sit in that seat should feel honored, and if she wants me back, I’ll be there in a heartbeat.” For Justin, the experience of cohosting on one of the biggest morning shows is surreal. “Seeing myself on that set, hearing people say, ‘My mom loves you,’ or ‘My aunt is a huge fan,’ it’s all so amazing,” he said.
Jenna, too, had nothing but praise for Justin. “I need to stock up on Depends because nobody makes me laugh harder than Heather,” she teased on February 20. “She’s cohosting all week, and trust me, it’s going to be hilarious.” Jenna also noted that Heather has a great soul, and viewers might see a different side of her this time around.
So whether you’re tuning in for Jenna, Heather, or any of the other incredible guest cohosts, one thing is clear: 'Today With Jenna & Friends' is more than just a show—it’s a celebration of friendship, laughter, and good vibes.
