"Today" hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager put New Orleans in the spotlight, hosting two shows from iconic Jackson Square. This is "Today's" first trip since the pandemic, with Kotb saying New Orleans deserved the recognition due to its resiliency and spirit that lifts the hearts of visitors who come to town.
The program highlighted local celebrities like Harry Connick Jr. and Anthony Mackie. New Orleans' flavor was also well represented through chefs from Dooky Chase and Commander's Palace.
Hager spent much of the trip promoting her "Read with Jenna" program, hosting panels at the New Orleans Book Festival held at Tulane University.
The three-day event featured local and national authors, discussions, and will close out with a musical performance.
