Hager: 'Morning Show' Party Scene Unrealistic
11 Aug
Summary
- Jenna Bush Hager says a party scene in 'The Morning Show' wouldn't happen due to union rules.
- Hager is an executive producer on the upcoming drama 'Line of Fire.'
- 'Line of Fire' draws inspiration from her experiences with Secret Service protection.
Jenna Bush Hager, a co-host on The Today show, has offered a critique of the Apple TV series 'The Morning Show,' starring Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Speaking at a panel for NBC's upcoming drama 'Line of Fire,' where Hager serves as an executive producer, she noted that a particular party scene in the show is unrealistic. Hager explained that due to union laws, such an event would never take place within a television studio.
This observation likely refers to a scene in 'The Morning Show' where a surprise party is held for a character within the studio. Hager emphasized that while she enjoys the series, some aspects must be 'made for TV.' Her current project, 'Line of Fire,' is set to premiere on NBC on September 21.
The new drama 'Line of Fire' is inspired in part by Hager's own childhood experiences. Growing up during her father George W. Bush's presidency, she was surrounded by Secret Service agents. The series explores the dynamics of families who prioritize protecting others, and the potential impact on their own relationships.
Hager highlighted that bringing authenticity to 'Line of Fire' was a priority. The production even enlisted a former Secret Service agent as a consultant to advise the writers, ensuring real-life accuracy to the show's narrative.
