It may be Monday, but over at the Today Show, it is an exciting, celebratory day.
The Monday, November 25 installment of the long-running talk show kicked off by commemorating none other than Jenna Bush Hager, who was celebrating her 43rd trip around the sun.
Plus, it's not just her birthday that she was celebrating, as she also took a moment to finally reveal an exciting project she worked on over the summer that is finally being unveiled this coming week.
Though Jenna is no stranger to being on the screen, over the summer, she prepared for the screen in a totally different way: to make her acting debut on one of Hallmark's most anticipated movies of the holiday season, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, inspired by the Kansas City Chiefs.
"You guys you know I've always wanted to be an actor," she jokingly shared with her fellow Today anchors, as she detailed the movie's plot, which reads: "Chiefs superfan Alana tries to win the Fan of the Year Award as a Christmas gift for her family, falling in love with someone in the Chiefs front office along the way."
Jenna went on to share a "never-before-seen glimpse" of her day spent in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where she filmed her role as one of the broadcasters featured in the movie.

Jenna further walked fans through her day, including her fitting with the movie's costume designer for her role as the emcee, getting "the full movie star treatment" on the hair and make-up chair, and memorizing her lines.

Later on during 4th Hour with Hoda & Jenna, which come January will change to Today with Jenna & Friends, Jenna also shared what she did to celebrate her birthday: a murder mystery dinner party hosted by her husband Henry Hager, and later in the week she and her sister will have a birthday party during their family's Thanksgiving celebrations.
