Sheinelle Jones Named Jenna Bush Hager’s 10 a.m. Today Co-Host
Jones steps into a permanent 10 a.m. slot beside Jenna Bush Hager as NBC reshapes the Today show lineup after Hoda Kotb's exit.
Sheinelle Jones is stepping into a permanent co-host role at 10 a.m. on Today, joining Jenna Bush Hager as they anchor the show's second hour together. Jones has long been a fixture across NBC's morning coverage, including weekend and weekday appearances.
The move follows Hoda Kotb's departure from the program earlier this year, leaving Jones and Hager to reshape the lineup for the NBC morning audience. NBC is positioning the duo as a steady pairing designed to maintain momentum in the crucial morning slots.
Industry insiders describe the arrangement as a formalization of the popular 'Jenna & Friends' pairing, with Jones a trusted Today veteran taking on full-time duties after years of guest and weekend hosting.
Jones also shared a personal detail: Kotb reportedly called her the night before Kotb's fourth-hour exit news became public, a moment that underscored how intertwined the show's shifts feel to the hosts.
With the new setup, viewers can expect a blend of familiar warmth and fresh segments as the 10 a.m. hour aims to keep pace with changing morning habits.
