Scarlett Johansson’s Latest Role Is … Today Guest Host
It’s going to be weird seeing anyone else sitting next to Jenna Bush Hager after Hoda Kotb leaves Today. But it’s going to be really weird seeing Scarlett Johansson. The Black Widow star is swooping in to Today’s rescue, set to co-host with Bush Hager for a full week beginning January 21. Bush Hager shared on the January 7 Today that she has “so many fun things planned” with Johansson. And Kotb, who leaves Friday, January 10, also gave an endorsement, noting that Bush Hager and Johansson “had a great click.” As for why an Oscar nominee like ScarJo would decide to host daytime TV: Maybe she wanted a host desk of her own to match her husband’s?
Johansson is just the latest, most random guest set to join Bush Hager on the newly christened Today with Jenna & Friends. Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, and Keke Palmer will take their turns co-hosting next week, beginning January 13. It’s unclear how long the celeb hosts will continue, but Bush Hager called it “our month of wonder women” on the January 6 broadcast. Just minus Gal Gadot — at least so far.
