Jenna Bush Hager made a promise to Today viewers on Tuesday's show after revealing a viral moment that had been "blowing up" her family group
In honor of their last show together, Bush Hager read an emotional letter about their time as co-hosts. Kotb’s family and friends were in the audience — including her two daughters Haley 7, and Hope, 5, sister, brother, sister-in-law, nieces and her closest friends.
