Jenna's role in Today's weekend show started in the year 2007. She served as co-anchor for five years before being promoted to work as news anchor.

In the past, Jenna has shared the ups and downs of expecting a child on her TODAY.com blog. She had described pregnancy as a not-so-fun experience. She has also shared her experiences on the fun that comes with bathing a baby, taking baby photos and the emotional discomfort that comes when a mother leaves her child overnight.
Last September, Jenna wrote that if somebody had asked her the meaning of parenthood, she would have shrugged her shoulders. She added that all she truly knew about parenthood is performing house chores and loving unconditionally.
