Jenna Bush Hager told her "Today with Hoda & Jenna" co-host that NBC told her to stop using the Southern slang since it's not "for the whole country."

Jenna Bush Hager claims she was told not to say "Hey, y'all" when she joined NBC in 2009 on the Dec. 2 episode of 'Today.' Co-host Hoda Kotb added that she also felt like she had to "change" for the network and said it took "a long time" to be herself on air again.

They were like], ‘Hey, y’all,’ isn’t for the whole country.’ And I was like, ‘Well, but it’s who I am,’” Jenna Bush Hager said.
