They even went so far as to say that even though it’s been years since Kathie Lee quit the morning program, they want her to replace Jenna Bush Hager.

Hoda and Jenna have their own show during the fourth hour of Today where they discuss many topics.
On Monday’s show, Hoda Kotb and Jenna talked about Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn’s reported split.
After a clip from the show was posted to Instagram, fans took to the comments.
While most were commenting on the rumors, others were saying how they miss Kathie Lee.
“I miss Kathie Lee,” wrote one fan.
To that someone else replied: “Agreed! JBH is beyond annoying. Most days I have to stop watching because of it. Unfortunately because she’s a former President’s daughter, they will never replace her.”
A third wrote: “Miss Kathie Lee!”
“I wish they would take Jenna off and bring back Kathie Lee,” said another.
KATHIE SAYS GOODBYE
In April 2019, Kathie Lee stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss why she left Today.
She told the host that she gave her notice two years prior to that.
The 2015 death of her husband, New York Giants legend and TV personality Frank Gifford, influenced her decision to leave.
“After my husband passed, you really realize that you’re gonna run out of time. He didn’t know that morning he was running out of time. And then my mom passed, as well,” Kathie Lee told Jimmy.
“I realized just recently that I’m in a state where I never dreamed I’d be. I’m a widow, I’m an orphan and I’m an empty nester and that just hit me like a ton of bricks. For the first time in my life, I have the time and the means to go and do anything I want to do.”
She also wanted to write and act in films.
The ex-host joined the NBC show in 2008 and was the co-host of Today With Kathie Lee and Hoda.
CAN’T SHAKE IT
Fans have been asking the network to replace Jenna for a long time.
Earlier this month, they called out Jenna for an annoying habit that she does all of the time on live TV.
As she interviewed Brooke Shields, she kept shaking her head.
Jenna and Hoda talked with the model.
They asked her, after watching her documentary, if she would want to erase anything from her past.
“The only thing that I’d want to erase is my mother’s alcoholism,” Brooke told the hosts.
“Because that was such a constant source of agony for me.”
Hoda and Jenna listened intently to the actress, but Today fans were distracted.
In the comments of the clip that was posted to Instagram, they pointed out that Jenna “shakes her head too much.”
“I love Jenna, so please don’t come for me, but someone needs to talk to her about her ALWAYS shaking her head NO when she’s talking. It’s so distracting,” one fan said.
“Her body language is not in sync. It’s like saying no, but you really mean yes. Am I the only one?”
To that, someone replied: “No you’re not. A lot of her reactions are inappropriate to the situation.”
Someone else pointed out that Hoda needs to “stop making grunting noises” during interviews.
