‘Today’s Jenna Bush Hager Gives Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey Permission To “Kiss Me On The Lips Whenever They Want” After Their Red Carpet “Smooch”


Jenna Bush Hager made a spicy statement on Today With Jenna & Friends after seeing her former guest host Scarlett Johansson share a “smooch” with Jonathan Bailey on the Jurassic World Rebirth red carpet.

Bush Hager and comedian Michelle Buteau, who was guest hosting the show Wednesday (June 18) morning, watched the footage of the actors’ kiss in slow motion. “Those are two very good looking people right in there,” Bush Hager commented.

But Buteau was a bit confused by the spectacle.

“I have friends… We don’t do that. Maybe that’s like some famous people stuff?” she told Bush Hager, who laughed in response. “It’s a little nasty, it’s a little sexy, it’s a little wild. Is that what famous people do?”

Bush Hager couldn’t answer Buteau’s question, but she did make an offer to Johansson and Bailey ahead of their upcoming appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends.

“I feel like Jonathan Bailey or Scarlett Johansson can kiss me on the lips whenever they want,” Bush Hager stated.

Even Buteau appeared shocked! “Okay, we’ll make that happen,” she said.

Bush Hager appeared as if she wanted to take back that statement as she said, “They’re gonna be here next week. I’m now a little…”

Buteau joked that the Today host was feeling bolder after getting her hair cut live on television earlier this week.

“One bob cut and we can’t keep her contained!” Buteau joked. “I would love to see that.”

It’s no secret that Bush Hager is a fan of Johansson. Johansson was one of the first guest hosts to join Bush Hager on Today With Jenna & Friends after Hoda Kotb‘s exit. The actress seemed to enjoy her short stint in daytime television and even told Bush Hager this was her “favorite job” she’s “ever had.”

“I have to say this really fills my cup. I absolutely have to come back if you’ll have me,” she told Bush Hager at the time.

Now, it looks like Johansson will finally be back on Today to promote her upcoming blockbuster film. Here’s to hoping she will be able to guest host Today With Jenna & Friends again!

Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
