Saturday's Cryptoquip: ARE GHOSTS REAL OR ONLY IMAGINARY? THAT IS THE TOPIC OF MY FRIENDS' SPIRITED DISCUSSION. Today's Cryptoquip Clue: A equals T TELEVISION Former first daughter gets new gig Jenna Bush Hager signs on for role as 'Today' show correspondent ASSOCIATED PRESS Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in Baltimore, will contribute stories about once a month on issues like education to television's top-rated morning news show, said Jim Bell, its executive producer. NEW YORK — NBC's "Today" show has hired someone with White House experience as a new correspondent — former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager. The daughter of former President George W. Bush said she had always wanted to be a teacher and a writer and had already authored two books. But she was intrigued by the idea of getting into television when Bell contacted her. "It it was something Id always dreamed to do," she said. "But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change" She'll essentially work two parttime jobs as a correspondent and in her school, where she will be a reading coordinator this year. Bell said he got the idea after seeing Hager in two "Today" appearances. She was Bush on the program two years ago to promote her book about an HIV infected single mother, "Ana' Story: A Journey of Hope," and it went so well that a short interview was stretched to nearly a half hour She and her mother, Laura Bush also co-hosted an hour of "Today SEARCH FOR THE SHIRT '09 around the time their picture book came out. She "just sort of popped to us as a natural presence, comfortable" on the air, Bell said. Hager will work out of NBC's Washington bureau. "I think she can handle it," he said. "I think she knows something about pressure and being under some scrutiny. When she came here for a handful of appearances, she knocked it out of the park." He expects her first story, most likely concerning education, to be on sometime next month. A first television job on "Today" is, in her father's world, sort of like a run for president as a first attempt at elective office. Hager said that people on the show "have always made me, whenever I've been there, feel very comfortable." Bell said Hager won't be covering politics. He said he didn't consider the job as a down payment for a future interview with her father, who has been living quietly in Texas since leaving office earlier this year.
