Washington, Aug 31 (ANI): Former US President George Bush's daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, has been roped in to serve as a once-a-month contributor on topics like education on the NBC show 'Today'.

Jim Bell, the executive producer of the show, has confirmed the news, reports Politico.

He said the show decided to give Jenna a chance after she had come off as a "natural presence" in two previous appearances on "Today", to promote her book for young adults "Ana's Story".

It was about a young woman born with HIV/AIDS who met the former president's daughter while working as a UNICEF intern in Latin America.

Hager's first story for Today is expected to air sometime next month. (ANI)
