Jenna Bush Hager Jokingly Blames Lorne Michaels for Being Cut From ‘SNL’ Sketch
Bowen Yang said writers originally included Bush Hager’s name in the sketch, which aired with a bob-haired army division and later drew her attention.
- On Wednesday, Bowen Yang revealed on Las Culturistas that Jenna Bush Hager was nearly named in the 2025 Saturday Night Live sketch "Bob Army," which featured soldiers in a military division sporting signature bob haircuts.
- The Bob Army sketch starred Glen Powell and Andrew Dismukes as soldiers in the "Slay Division," inspired by the bob Bush Hager adopted after Leslie Bibb guest-hosted Today in July 2025.
- SNL creator Lorne Michaels reportedly questioned the inclusion, asking, "Who the f**k is Jenna Bush Hager?" and doubting many people knew who Hager was, leading to the line's removal.
- Matt Rogers joked that the Today host essentially "made it into The Devil Wears Prada 2" by appearing in the sketch's dress rehearsal during their podcast discussion.
- Guest host Olivia Munn previously claimed the look was "100 percent" inspired by the duo, and the bob remains a recognized part of the Today host's public persona.
