What is Jenna Bush Hager going to be doing on television and will you watch?
NBC’s TODAY has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — Jenna Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush. Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television’s top-rated morning news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer.

How would she survive if that happened? Oh yeah, she’s a Bush. Sources:

Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, told the Associated Press that she’d never dreamed of being on television, but was “intrigued” by the offer. “It wasn’t something I’d always dreamed to do,” Jenna admitted, “but I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change.
