Jenna Bush Hager has shared a candid story, revealing how one night of partying led her to need four false teeth.

During a recent episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna, Jenna, alongside her co-host, delved into an interview featuring Kristen Wiig.

Kristen recently recalled a mishap from a Saturday Night Live afterparty on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where she detailed how she chipped her tooth at the party.

"I thought Kristen Wiig and I had a few things in common, turns out we also have that," Jenna quipped, as reported by Decider.

Jenna went on to discuss her only slightly embarrassing story, a tale from the "B.C." era (before children), involving a tipsy dance session in her old apartment with her friend Molly Devine.

"It was a drinking and dancing accident," Jenna explained, setting the scene. "Molly spun me around, and with my feet clad only in slippery tights, disaster struck."

She vividly described the moment of impact, recalling how she "lunged forward on the floor," resulting in a rather painful collision with her front teeth.

Curious about the aftermath, Hoda inquired about the dental repairs, prompting Jenna to reveal she'd damaged all four of her front teeth: "Four. The first four, the ones I get lipstick on."

But the story took an unexpected turn when Jenna detailed the delayed discovery of her dental damage. Initially thinking she had escaped unscathed, it wasn't until two days later during a visit to her sister's workplace that she received a not-so-subtle reality check.

"I got up and I was like, 'Ah, are my teeth out?' They weren’t," Jenna laughed, recalling the moment. "But two days later, I was at my sister’s work and this lovely intern goes, 'Honey, you have some gray stuff on your teeth.' I killed four roots - no, actually, Molly killed four roots."

In another Jenna-related story, she recently recalled her ambitious April Fools Day prank attempts on her children, Mila, 10, Poppy, eight, and Hal, four, whom she shares with her husband Henry Hager, 45.

Reflecting on the day, Jenna confessed, "April 1 went a little too long for me," revealing a cascade of pranks that filled their household. "I mean, I was ducking from an April Fool’s prank."

She recalled her elaborate scheme involving her youngest, Hal, attempting to mimic a stomach ache to prank her husband.

"We warmed some beans up in the microwave," Jenna explained, sharing her inspiration from George Clooney's prank playbook. However, despite Hal's rehearsal efforts, the execution didn't quite hit the mark.

Undeterred, Jenna then revealed Mila's contribution - a cellophane-wrapped toilet, designed to catch an unsuspecting victim. "Did you fall for it?" Hoda inquired.

"Uh… Henry did!" Jenna admitted with a laugh, though she quickly found herself dealing with the aftermath of her daughter's prank.

But the highlight of the day was Jenna's own attempt at a prank involving their family cat. "I told the kids that Holly’s neutering didn’t work and she was pregnant with Mango’s kittens," Jenna shared, prompting disbelief from Hoda.

Acknowledging the misstep, Jenna confessed: "We have to delete April Fool’s Day. That was not good."
