Jenna Bush Hager leaves her Today cohosts in tears as she shares touching tribute to her 'Gampi' George H. W. Bush on what would have been his 100th birthday: 'We miss you'


Hosts Craig Melvin and Hoda Kotb were left teary-eyed as Jenna, 42, read out a beautiful letter to her late grandfather as she and her family marked his 100th birthday on June 12.

Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, and Savannah Guthrie were all left fighting back tears as a pre-recorded segment saw Jenna, 42, read out a beautiful letter to the former President, who passed away in November 2018 at the age of 94. 'You know, it's so crazy, and I know many of you have lost people you love, how when you mark an occasion after they're gone, it is really hard to even believe it's been eight years since I've gotten to see him,' she told her cohosts as Hoda, 59, wiped away tears. 'Watching that, it reminded me of this evening I spent with my grandpa, and he could barely speak, and I was sitting between him and he leaned over to me and he's like, "Don't forget to enjoy the game,"' Jenna recalled.
