This Friday, Today with Hoda & Jenna offers a blend of holiday movie hype and modern dating dilemmas. Will the mix be as smooth as a perfectly spiked eggnog or as awkward as a mistletoe mishap? We’re about to find out.
First up, Kiernan Shipka joins the show to discuss “Red One,” the new Christmas action-comedy where she plays the vengeful witch Grýla. This cinematic stocking stuffer, featuring Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, and J.K. Simmons as Santa, is expected to bring a much-needed shake-up to the sometimes-stale holiday genre.
But let’s be real, holiday cheer can only carry you so far. For those facing the often-treacherous terrain of modern romance, relationship expert Shan Boodram will be on hand to decode the latest dating trends. Perhaps she’ll finally reveal the secret to crafting the perfect dating app profile or explain why ghosting is apparently still a thing.
And because the holidays can also be a minefield of beauty pressures, Dr. Shereene Idriss will be debunking common skincare myths. Finally, some truth serum amidst the festive glitter.
Of course, no episode of Today would be complete without a healthy dose of Hoda and Jenna’s signature antics. This Friday’s episode features the “Can Hoda & Jenna Hack It?” segment, in which their skill sets will likely be put to the test in ways that could either be impressive or spectacularly disastrous. The duo will also tackle the “Higher Lower Game,” armed with trivia that might just surprise them (and us).
Today with Hoda & Jenna airs Friday, November 15, 2024, at 10:00 AM on NBC.
