Tiffany Haddish is making waves on daytime television this week, co-hosting “Jenna and Friends” alongside Jenna Bush Hager, and the chemistry between the two is undeniable. The comedian took to Instagram to share her excitement about the collaboration, declaring a “New Bestie alert” with her Today Show co-host.

In a carousel of photos posted to her Instagram account, Haddish can be seen beaming alongside Bush Hager in what appears to be the Today Show studio. The images capture the duo’s playful energy and obvious rapport as they film segments for the popular morning program.

“Have you been watching @jennaandfriends this week?! @jennabhager and I are having A TIME!!!” Haddish wrote in her caption, emphasizing their connection with the all-caps declaration of a “New Bestie alert.” She also gave a shoutout to her glam team, adding, “Thanks for getting me together @joliedensbeautybar.”

The pairing has been a hit with viewers this week, with the Today Show’s Instagram account sharing multiple clips of their on-air moments. In one recent post from the show’s account, Haddish joined Bush Hager in interviewing “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum Sarah Michelle Gellar, where they discussed the future of the iconic franchise.

Another clip highlighted Haddish’s candid nature when she openly shared what she looks for in a partner. The Today Show captioned the moment: “Tiffany Haddish knows what she wants in a partner— and it’s kind of a win-win situation,” accompanied by a laughing emoji and the hashtag #JennaandFriends.

The show’s social media also teased viewers about tuning in for more entertainment, posting: “Our sides still hurt from laughing— tune in tomorrow for more fun with @tiffanyhaddish! #jennaandfriends.”

Haddish has also maintained a strong presence in the fashion world. Recently, she hosted the 29th Annual Fashion Group International (FGI) Rising Star Awards, celebrating emerging talent in fashion, beauty, and accessories. BELLA Magazine covered the event, describing Haddish as “fabulous” in her role as host.

During another recent fashion appearance, Haddish was featured wearing designs by Grace Ling, a Fashion Trust U.S. Ready-to-Wear finalist. The post, simply captioned “She ready!” (Haddish’s signature phrase), showcased the comedian in the designer’s striking ensemble.

As Haddish continues her week of co-hosting with Bush Hager, fans can expect more memorable moments between the two new “besties.” Their natural rapport and shared sense of humor have clearly translated into engaging television that has viewers tuning in each day.
