Billy Eichner Talks ‘Mufasa,’ Plus Holiday Cheer on ‘Today with Hoda & Jenna’ (NBC, Friday, December 20, 2024)

Today with Hoda & Jenna

This Friday, December 20, 2024, Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager deck the “Today” studio halls with boughs of holly, celebrity guests, last-minute gift guides, and enough holiday cheer to make even the grinchiest Scrooge crack a smile. Consider it a preemptive antidote to those inevitable family gatherings.

First up, Billy Eichner brings his signature brand of energetic enthusiasm to the table, discussing his role in the upcoming “Lion King” prequel, “Mufasa.”

If you’re scrambling for holiday accessories that won’t make your relatives recoil in horror, Paige DeSorbo is here to lend her style expertise. Because nothing says festive like a strategically placed sparkly reindeer antler headband, right?

Meanwhile, for those still frantically searching for the perfect present (or those who, let’s face it, haven’t even started), Chassie Post offers some last-minute gift ideas. This could be a lifesaver or just another reason to procrastinate further. It’s a gamble.

Finally, to help you combat the inevitable holiday movie fatigue (how many times can one person watch “Elf,” really?), Naz Perez presents a curated watchlist for the season. Perhaps something beyond the usual saccharine fare? Here’s hoping.
