"The pressure's mounting," one tipster dished, according to a sensational report which claims the TV personality — whose father is former president George W. Bush — is not "getting much sympathy from her professional peers," RadarOnline.com has learned.

"Jenna went into the job with lots of confidence and had some good moments," according to the tipster in National Enquirer's report.

Sources brought up a few awkward moments while taping including an instance in Nov. when she referred to her husband and the father of her children, Henry Hager, as "daddy."

She was also spotted on camera searching her cellphone for notes last month, with sources adding that comedian Kevin Hart had to get her and Hoda Kotb back on track after she chided the Jumanji star about the Philadelphia Eagles' recent loss in January.

"Alright! Alright! What just happened?" he quipped during the segment, to which Bush Hager replied, "I feel bad!"

"I don't need y'all to remind me what's happening," Hart continued, noting the conversation took a "weird shift" before segueing the conversation back to his movie.

"Can we talk about Lift? Ok, that's enough!" he went on as the ladies cracked up.

RadarOnline.com has reached out to reps for comment on the report.
