On the Monday, March 17 episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, Hager and co-host Willie Geist attempted a viral challenge known as "splitting the G" (which involves knocking back just enough of a Guinness pint so that the top of the leftover beer lands right in the middle of the “G” on the glass’s logo).

It appears that the spirit of St. Patrick didn't come to the rescue for Jenna Bush Hager this St. Patrick's Day. In honor of the Irish holiday, the Today Show host kicked off the March 17 installment of Today with Jenna & Friends by drinking a Guinness, the beloved stout from Dublin, along with her co-host of the day Willie Geist.
