TODAY host Sheinelle Jones has admitted she’s “so sad” about a major colleague shakeup happening this week.
Sheinelle, 44, was hosting Monday’s show alongside Jacob Soboroff and Dylan Dreyer, as the usual hosts enjoyed one more day off for the holidays.

At one point, the trio headed outside, and Sheinelle took the opportunity to announce some special news.
“Right, now we have to mention something, I’m so sad! I don’t want to do it!” Sheinelle told Jacob and Dylan.
She continued: “Sal, come on down! This is Sal. So this is why we have Sal out here today, so Sal has been a stagehand here at the Today show for 14 years!
“So, after today he’s leaving Studio 1A but thankfully he’s not going far, he’s heading across the street to be the head of props in Studio 6A… but we love you so much!” Sheinelle revealed.
“This is exciting!” Dylan chimed in as Sal took the opportunity to thank the hosts and the crew.
Sheinelle has been experiencing a range of emotions so far this week, as she also kicked off 2023 by clashing with another co-host of hers, Craig Melvin.
During Monday’s episode of 3rd Hour, the pair got into such a heated argument, that Sheinelle ended up chucking an item at her co-host.
To kick off the first Today 3rd Hour of the year, hosts Sheinelle, Craig, and Dylan Dreyer got to talking about their resolutions.
SASSY SHEINELLE
Most of the segment was spent on Sheinelle’s reveal, as it really struck a nerve with her colleagues.
“We’re all sitting on the edge of our seats,” Craig told her as everyone waited to hear her resolution.
The 44-year-old then shared: “Twenty-three is brought to you by the letter P.”
Immediately, Sheinelle’s co-hosts were confused by the mantra and shut it down.
“That is so awful,” Dylan told her harshly.
Jumping in with the teasing, Craig asked: “That’s not a motto, is it?”
Sheinelle tried to explain, saying: “So, I have so many Ps. But these are good–”
She was cut off by her colleagues continuing to laugh at her, and she blasted, “Stop yucking my mom!”
Eventually, Sheinelle continued: “All right, it’s all about my Ps. I’m gonna live my purpose and my passion.”
Despite the explanation, Craig and Dylan only continued to crack up, with the former soon admitting: “I gotta be honest with you. In years past, I’ve looked forward to your mantra.”
“I worked so hard,” Sheinelle insisted.
Craig blasted back: “You didn’t work hard enough!”
Continuing to tease her, the father-of-two told Sheinelle: “You know what else starts with P? Pathetic.”
Her mouth dropped open in shock at his rude comment, and he eventually just told her to “move on.”
When Sheinelle looked down at her large note cards to do just that, move on, she decided to get one last shot out at Craig.
“Let me go to my next card,” she said, before ripping off the top note card and furiously throwing it at Craig.
“You’re starting off the year with a bang here,” he told her in response to the action, before then deciding to add: “P for pretty mean.”
The Third Hour hosts have been known to often call each other out for various things, joking around with each other on air.
