NextImg:'Today's Jenna Bush Hager says she "kept it classy" by drinking wine coolers when she was underaged

Jenna Bush Hager and Matt Rogers kicked off Wednesday’s broadcast of Today With Jenna & Friends with a candid conversation about underaged drinking – their own underaged drinking, that is.

After Bush Hager shared that Rogers has become a fan-favorite guest host for moms who watch Today, the comedian and podcast host revealed, “You know, I’ve always been good with moms. I feel like whenever I was going over to my friends’ houses in high school I was like, ‘Put me in the kitchen with the mom! We’ll be chatting and talking, you just go do your thing.'”

He then revealed to Bush Hager he would even use this to his advantage. “Sometimes I would even distract the moms while my friends made drinks,” he added.

“Oh, I love that! I could have probably used you!” Bush Hager responded, prompting a laugh from Rogers. “I could have used you in high school.”

“Back in the day I would have been chatting with Laura Bush?” Rogers joked.

“Yes! Y’all would have been chatting in the kitchen and I would have been making the Captain Morgan and Coke,” Bush Hager added.

She then clarified that Captain Morgan and Coke was not her drink of choice at that age since she preferred wine coolers.

“I kept it classy,” she told Rogers.

Rogers then shared that he had his first alcoholic beverage outside of his friend’s house when growing up in Long Island.

“We drank it like little heathens outside in the pitch dark!” he recounted. “That’s Long Island for you.”

Rogers will return to guest host Today for the rest of this week, during which Lili Reinhart and Aziz Ansari will visit.

Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
