Hoda Kotb's 'Today' Show Replacement Revealed: Sheinelle Jones to Co-Host with Jenna Bush Hager

Hoda Kotb‘s official Today show replacement has been revealed!

Jenna Bush Hager‘s new co-host is…Sheinelle Jones! The fourth hour of the fan fave morning show, which airs at 10 am, will now be called Today with Jenna & Sheinelle.

After Hoda‘s exit in January of 2025, Jenna had been co-hosting with a slew of guests in the fourth hour, which had been dubbed Today with Jenna & Friends. Sheinelle, who is currently featured in the third hour of the Today show, joined Jenna in September for a co-hosting run.

Today announced that this change will happen on January 12, 2026. Sheinelle will step away from the third hour at that time.

Earlier in the year, Sheinelle took a leave of absence from the show following the death of her husband.
