Jenna Bush Hager can finally share her The Devil Wears Prada 2 scene with the world!
Last month, the TODAY anchor’s co-host Craig Melvin inadvertently let it slip that she would be appearing in the highly-anticipated sequel, which has already broken records by generating an estimated $233.6 million worldwide in its first weekend.
Now, Jenna is finally sharing details of her cameo, which she did alongside several other notable faces.
Speaking on the Monday, May 4 installment of TODAY with Jenna & Friends, Jenna first noted: “Craig didn’t mean to bust me, but he busted me,” before sharing: “I’ll set the scene, so I got invited to play myself, which is really the only part I can play.”
She detailed how a group of other famous faces, among them Jon Batiste, Molly Jong-Fast, Kara Swisher and Jia Tolentino, were invited to film a party scene somewhere near the Hamptons, and Jenna, sharing a behind-the-scenes clip, noted that the wine in her hand was not real wine.
“I dressed my own self … I put whatever I wanted on,” she continued, explaining: “Because it’s supposed to be a scene where Miranda, aka Meryl Streep, invites friends who are sort of like in the media business to her home, and it’s casual.”

“I have a line, but it was not scripted. So we get there and they had been there longer because I had the show, so I couldn’t be there at a certain time, and all of a sudden they’re like, ‘Jenna! Jenna! Meryl! Anne!’ and I’m like, ‘Wait, what?’ I didn’t know what I was doing,” she further shared.
“So we got there and the premise is that she’s introducing me — Meryl is introducing me to Anne [Hathaway] who is back at the magazine, which is not a spoiler — and I say something like, ‘Great interview,'” Jenna added, revealing her one line.
“She goes, ‘Jenna Bush Hager, Andy Sachs,’ and I go, ‘Great interview!'” she reiterated, noting that she didn’t practice because, “the second I got there they called me” and so she was “on the fly.”

Jenna then noted that though she hasn’t seen the movie in theaters, she did already get a preview, and knew when her part was coming, even though she was “prepared to be cut.”
