Jenna Bush Hager will cohost 'Today With Jenna and Friends' with a rotating lineup of celebrities following Hoda Kotb's 'Today' exit

The “Today with Jenna & Friends” co-host’s daughter previously appeared on the talk show in 2022 when she was just 9 years old.

Kotb left 'Today' on Friday, Jan. 10, after 17 years on the air Hoda Kotb may have bid farewell to the Today show, but that doesn't mean she isn't still friends with Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie.

Following Hoda Kotb's departure from Today, NBC rebranded the fourth hour of the show, which Kotb had co-hosted alongside Jenna Bush Hager, as Today with Jenna & Friends, with Bush Hager welcoming a rotating crop of guest hosts until a permanent one is named.

Jenna Bush Hager has revealed some of the friends who will be joining her as guest co-hosts on the new TODAY with Jenna & Friends. “It’s going to be our month of wonder women,” Jenna said at the beginning of January.

First up, she gave Johansson a copy of Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson. The book is about two twin boys who spontaneously combust into flames whenever they are upset, which the journalist thought was fitting for the Marvel actress, who has a twin brother in real life.
