The 60-year-old model and Hollywood icon walked onto the set at 30 Rockefeller Center all smiles and waves until the time came to sit down at the table next to co-host Jenna Bush Hager<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy am I at the kid\u2019s table?\u201d Shields asked as she sat in her white chair, which was several inches shorter than Bush Hager\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n \u201cYou guys, something\u2019s wrong,\u201d Bush Hager, 44, told her team, motioning to Shields\u2019 seat, as the Mother of the Bride star joked, \u201cI get it, it\u2019s your show, I get it.\u201d<\/p>\n The talk show host joked with Shields, asking, \u201cIs this the first time in your whole life you\u2019ve ever felt not tall?\u201d She also said that during the show\u2019s run, \u201cWe\u2019ve never had a chair issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Shields tried to improvise, tucking her foot under her butt and attempting to sit tall. Thankfully, the production team stepped in and replaced the chair with one that was the proper height.<\/p>\n NBC<\/p>\n From Left: Jenna Bush Hager and Brooke Shields on ‘Today with Jenna & Friends.’<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m being really difficult, I know.

Since that time, Bush Hager has welcomed more than 60 celebrity guest co-hosts as her titular \u201cfriends.\u201d<\/p>\n “What’s so cool about it is that it really does feel like we’re pulling up chairs for all different types of people,” Bush Hager told PEOPLE<\/a> of her guest co-hosts back in January.<\/p>\n She added, “Yes, we have actors, but we also have comedians and people in media. And I think that really is what we’re hoping to have: a total representation of who watches our show and something for every viewer.”<\/p>\n![\"NBC](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/962d0eb92d5bab6f53894e1310188c70.jpeg\"\/)
