The Thursday installment of Today with Jenna & Friends sets a feel-good tone with a mix of comedy, food, and books. Michelle Buteau returns to the co-host chair alongside Jenna Bush Hager.
The main guest is Chris Perfetti, known for his role on the hit sitcom Abbott Elementary. He’ll sit down to chat about the popular comedy, giving fans a look into the world of the show. The broadcast will also lean into humor with its “Queen of Quips” segment, a recurring bit that spotlights witty and amusing moments.
In the kitchen, chef Jernard Wells is scheduled for a “TODAY Food” segment, where he’ll be whipping up a dish for the hosts and the audience. These cooking segments are a staple of the fourth hour, consistently drawing solid viewership.
The show will also make time for a feature on Jenna’s Bookshop, continuing the broadcast’s focus on literature and reading. It’s a segment that aligns directly with Jenna’s personal brand and her successful book club.
With Michelle Buteau co-hosting for the second of her three days this week, Thursday’s program appears to be a well-balanced hour of laughs, recipes, and light conversation.
Today with Jenna & Friends airs weekdays at 10:00 AM ET on NBC.
