‘Today’ Sheinelle Jones To Return In New Position
Big changes are happening on the Today Show! Sheinelle Jones, who is already a popular co-host on the show, is set to replace Hoda Kotb in the fourth hour of Today. This hour, which airs after the main show, has been a fan favorite for years. Hoda had hosted the segment with Jenna Bush Hager, but now there will be a new change.
Is Sheinelle Jones The New Permanent Co-Host?
For a few weeks now, fans have been wondering when Today would make the announcement of a permanent replacement for Hoda. Since Hoda’s departure in January, Jenna has hosted the fourth hour with various celebrity guest co-hosts, such as Scarlett Johansson and Amy Poehler. The new co-host has finally been chosen—Sheinelle Jones. According to an insider, Sheinelle, 46, has already been confirmed for the role, but the announcement will not be made until after she returns from her leave of absence.
Sheinelle has been absent from the show since December due to a family health matter. She briefly returned to Instagram on January 15 to share a statement about her situation, explaining that she was handling a personal issue. The show’s staff has been very supportive of her during this time. Fans have also shown their support. Sending kind messages on social media and expressing how much they miss seeing her on the show.
Even though Sheinelle’s replacement role is confirmed, there has been some behind-the-scenes competition. Today’s show’s lifestyle contributor, Jill Martin, also wanted the job. However, the decision to choose Sheinelle came after the network saw how successful the decision was to promote Craig Melvin to the news-driven co-anchor role alongside Savannah Guthrie. This change helped the show’s ratings, and the executives realized that the audience enjoys seeing familiar faces.
Jenna Bush Hager, Excited For Change
In addition to her familiarity with viewers, Sheinelle brings a lot of experience to the role. She is a seasoned journalist and has been with the Today Show for over 10 years. Her skills, along with her natural ability to connect with people, make her a perfect choice for the job. The network believes Sheinelle’s professionalism and experience in making TV work will help her shine in this new role.
Meanwhile, Jenna Bush Hager has been hosting the fourth hour without a permanent co-host. Has expressed her excitement about the new changes. Fans, too, are eager to see Sheinelle back on TV. Many have commented on Today’s social media posts, saying they miss Sheinelle’s smile and friendly presence. They have been waiting for an update about her return and are relieved to know that she will be back soon.
Although Sheinelle’s absence has made some viewers anxious. It looks like Today fans won’t have to wait long to see her back on screen. The official announcement about Sheinelle joining Jenna as the permanent co-host of the fourth hour is expected to come once she is back from her time off.
As Today continues to evolve, fans are excited to see how Sheinelle will bring her own unique energy and style to the fourth hour alongside Jenna. Fans can expect fun, interesting conversations, and plenty of entertainment when Sheinelle returns to her spot on Today. Will Sheinelle be a good permanent co-host?

I want to see Sheinelle Jones back on Today show.
I think Sheinelle will be a perfect host on the 4th hour. I agree with the GJ comment. Jenna Hager is rude, louder and does talk over others. Just because she is a President daughter doesn’t give her the right to outshine others by being rude to them. I have not watched the show since Hoda and Kathy Lee were last together. I am looking forward to the show with Sheinelle. Too bad Jenna is there. I will not watch that hour if Jenna Hager gets too rude with others. You should put Jenna with Savannah. They are alike in many ways. Put Jill Martin with Sheinelle on the 4th hour. Jill is pretty, sweet and kind to others. They are a winning team with very familiar faces.
I have really missed Sheinelle on the Today. She will be great with Jenna on the 4th hour! Wishing her & her family the best!
too bad she has to work with Hager who is rude and talks over her guests as if her opinion was the only one people should hear. I turn the show off.
I couldn’t agree more. I stopped watching after Hoda left. Once Shienelle comes back, I’ll watch because I like her. We will see.
Jenna and Hoda are rude, loud and constantly interupt guests and their co-hosts- tasteless with absolutely no social graces. Because of them, have total given up on NBC in the morning.
I love Sheinelle, and have missed her terribly. I’m so glad she’s returning and I think she’ll be the best replacement for Hoda, who, up until this very moment, I believed was irreplaceable!
agreed!
I keep being told this, but WHEN?
i really like Sheinelle and Craig together because they make each either laugh. The 3rd hour was great but I like Jenna too so maybe it will work.
I love Sheinelle and glad she will be co-hosting with Jenna!
I love Sheinelle! Glad she will be returning soon and working with Jenna. She has truly been missed by her fans!
Love Sheinelle and have missed her! So glad she’s coming back!
Sheinelle is a true professional and is like a ray of sunshine. She always seems so positive and upbeat. I look forward to her return.
I miss Sheinelle. Unfortunately she will share hosting duties with Jenna Bush. Jenna acts like a cheerleader not an actual adult. The Today show would be better without her. Also all the hosts talk over each other so much that it is frustrating
I look forward to Sheinelle’s return. Hopefully this will pull Jenna off the earlier Today Show. She and Savannah act like giggling teenagers. We do not need Jenna’s boost every day . Craig is underutilized. He and Carson are so good. We need more of them and less of Jenna.
