First daughter Jenna Bush made the headlines quite a bit with her notorious underage drinking episodes, which included using fake IDs, but none of that was mentioned in a glowing welcome to the "Today Show" as their new correspondent. No mention was made of her lack of journalism experience either.

The "Today Show" welcomed their newest correspondent Jenna Bush with a lengthy video montage. Her twin sister Barbara, as well as her mother, Laura, and her grandmother, Barbara, were all featured praising and relating various embarrassing stories about her, including her brief singing career.

Jenna acted appropriately sheepish while the other hosts ribbed her after the video. She said she was "thrilled" to join the "Today Show" and that "one of the great parts is now I'm not ever again, promise, part of the story, in that I get to tell terrific stories about people doing wonderful things."
