The fourth hour of the ‘Today’ show will be renamed ‘Jenna & Friends,’ starring Jenna Bush Hager and a rotating panel of cohosts
In addition to helming the early news broadcast of Today, Kotb, 60, also leads the fourth-hour show with Jenna Bush Hager. Kotb, however, will leave the broadcast channel in early 2025 and the show will reconfigure the Hoda & Jenna program.
Kotb initially hosted the fourth hour with Kathie Lee Gifford until the latter’s retirement in 2019. Bush Hager joined the team that April. She added at the time, “I am so proud of her. Although, I will say I walk around even here, and people are like, 'Congratulations, Hoda!' And I feel like the girl that just got dumped. And people are like, 'You made the best choice, Hoda!' And I’m like, 'Did she? Did she make the best choice?’ … She did, and we will be part of this in every way we can, and we will miss her so much. But I am so proud of you.
