As Jenna’s 40.8 million followers learned, there was more than met the eye at the NBC show.
The carousel included shots of her dressing room and behind-the-scenes moments with the cast and crew.

Jenna Ortega promotes Neutrogena
Jenna’s second share of the day served as a promotion for Neutrogena.
The You actress became a brand ambassador for Neutrogena — a wise decision for the cosmetics company.
The choice to employ Jenna paid off because the 20-year-old has used her extensive social media platform to advertise Neutrogena in the past.
For the latest post, Jenna shared the wonders of Neutrogena makeup remover.
Since the actress wore a lot of blood to play Wednesday Addams, she needed a makeup remover that could take on stage makeup.
