During a recent episode of the quiz show spinoff series, hosted by Colin Jost, contestants were given a clue that read, "With the help of Hoda Kotb & a hairdryer, this TODAY show book guru posted a thirst trap to celebrate 1 million followers."
A contestant by the name Kristen came up with the correct response, "Who Is Jenna Bush Hager?"
While unpacking the situation on the Tuesday, Jan. 14 episode of Today, Carson Daly wanted to know, "How could anybody forget this thirst trap?"
He was of course referring to Bush Hager's 2022 thirst trap photoshoot, when she posed for a series of sexy schoolgirl snaps to celebrate the milestone and also educate the audience on what "thirst trap" really means.
But Daly still had some questions about what exactly the term refers to, prompting Bush Hager, 43, to explain, "A thirst trap is, you know, you go on Instagram and there’s the people that are kind of sexy and dressed inappropriately, and they’re trying to get the attention of somebody."
“A thirst trap is like a hot picture that’s trying to attract attention,” Today's Savannah Guthrie added.
While reacting to the news of her becoming a Jeopardy! clue, Bush Hager joked, "All I have to say is I’ve never made my parents more proud."
“I mean, that’s the ‘Jeopardy!’ clue I get? Geez!” she further quipped.
