Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush recalled a fun night out with Jennifer Coolidge in the early 2000s on ‘Today With Hoda & Jenna’
Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush are looking back on a wild night out with Jennifer Coolidge.
While chatting about The White Lotusthe twin sisters, 41, reminisced about fond memories they have from a random encounter with Coolidge several years ago.
Barbara, who guest hosted Today with Hoda & Jenna alongside her sister on Thursday while regular co-host Hoda Kotb was out, shared her “love” for Coolidge and prompted Jenna to recall that they “once hung out with Jennifer Coolidge at a bar.”
“It was right after she was Stifler’s mom,” Barbara said, referencing the actress’ career-launching role in American Pie in 1999.
“We took watermelon shots, do you remember?” Jenna asked, to which Barbara said the shots were “gross.”
“No, no they were delicious!” Jenna disagreed. “The watermelon shot was good!”

The sisters released their third picture book together on Tuesday, Love Comes First, a follow-up to their #1 New York Times bestseller, Sisters Firstwhich they released in 2019.
The book follows a set of sisters who wish on a star for a sibling and get both a younger brother and a new cousin.
Barbara said they were inspired to write a book focused not just on sisterly love but “more broadly about love and the way that it can be, via family or chosen family, bigger than sisterhood,” according to The New York Times.
