NEW LINE-UP
There have been a lot of changes going on at Today recently.
Craig Melvin to take extended break from Today and will be replaced by beloved NBC sportscaster at anchor desk
Last week it was announced that Savannah will replace Hoda Kotb as Jenna Bush Hager’s co-host, but there’s a catch.
Ever since the departure of veteran host Hoda, Jenna has fronted her segment with a number of different co-hosts.
The likes of Andy Cohen, Eva Longoria, Taraji P. Henson, Tyra Banks, and Tiffany Haddish have all filled in.
However, the official Instagram account of Today announced that Savannah will take to the airwaves with the star next week.

The announcement post caption read: “Our girl SG will be back in the #JennaandFriends co-hosting chair all next week! You don’t want to miss it.”
Fans flooded to the comments section as they praised the new appointment.
One user stated: “The duo we NEED.”
As someone else stated: “Put her in the spot permanently!”
Although the main show anchor will present the fourth hour, she will only be in the slot for the week and will not take up the role full-time.
The U.S. Sun previously revealed that Sheinelle Jones will officially replace Hoda as Jenna co-host after she returns from family leave.
