Jenna Bush Hager is on the hunt for a new co-host of the fourth hour of TODAY
Soon, TODAY with Hoda & Jenna will officially transition into TODAY with Jenna & Friends as Hager embarks on the search of a lifetime. Beginning January 13, Hager will start to "audition" various co-hosts in hopes of finding a permanent partner to fill Kotb's shoes. It will add a fascinating dynamic to TODAY's fourth hour.
As longtime viewers know all too well, co-hosting TODAY's fourth hour means more than just being a smiling face next to Hager. Kotb's replacement will also be asked to put on their acting shoes once or twice or a hundred times — and maybe even release an original song!
