NBC’s Today with Hoda & Jenna is shaping up to be a diverse mix of pop music royalty, holiday action, and culinary exploration this Thursday. First up, music icon Gwen Stefani joins Hoda and Jenna to discuss her new album, “Bouquet.” Expect some insights into the creative process, potential live performances, and maybe even a dash of No Doubt nostalgia.
Then, actress Lucy Liu shifts gears from dramatic roles to festive action-comedy. Liu will offer a preview of “Red One,” the Christmas action movie releasing tomorrow. She’ll discuss her role as the head of a fictional agency overseeing mythological creatures, a novel concept for the holiday season. This agency, partnered with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans’ characters, is tasked with a particularly high-stakes mission: rescuing Santa Claus. Yes, really.
Beyond the A-list leads, “Red One” boasts a supporting cast that includes Bonnie Hunt, Kiernan Shipka, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel, and J.K. Simmons as the big man himself. While the concept might sound a tad overstuffed, this cast certainly has the potential to deliver some entertaining holiday chaos.
Finally, for those whose tastes run more towards savory than sweet, Vietnamese chef Tue Nguyen will be featured on the show’s food segment. Nguyen, a rising name in the culinary scene, looks set to add some flavor to the proceedings.
So, whether you’re a music aficionado, an action film enthusiast, or a dedicated foodie, Today with Hoda & Jenna is expected to bring something to the table this Thursday. Tune in at 10:00 am on NBC.
