Jenna Bush Hager was more than a little bit excited to be going across the road from the Today Show for a very special TV appearance.
The NBC star was left "shaking" with excitement as she joined Fourth Hour co-host Hoda Kotb on The Kelly Clarkson Show for Monday October 16th's episode - Kelly's debut show in New York City.
A preview of her appearance alongside Hoda featured on Today's showbiz segment, led by Carson Daly.
In the clip, Jenna had pulled out all the stops for her appearance, having taken a huge dish of queso for fellow Texan Kelly.
"I'm so happy but I was like 'Hoda my biceps are shaking!'" Jenna revealed, as Hoda confirmed: "She was shaking!"

"Jenna's queso is the stuff of legends," Carson Daly added as the preview segment went back to the Today studio.

Her daytime talk show kicks off today in her new studio across the street from us here at 30 Rock, and she had a very special guest lined up for her very first show - a couple of faces you might recognize - take a look," before the preview - which also featured Savannah Guthrie and Al Roker appearing in the opening segment - was shown.

It's been an exciting few months for Jenna, who launched a new podcast with NBC News in September - Read with Jenna - following on from the popularity of her Today Show segment under the same name.
At the time of its release, Jenna said: "I'm so excited about the 'Read With Jenna' podcast. I love talking with authors — hearing about the inspirations for their books, their process, who they were as kids and who they are now. I can't wait to bring their stories to as many listeners as possible."
