HEARTBREAKING Shake-up at the Today Show: A Beloved Host Departs – But the Pain was too Great, and this is the Best Way Forward!
THE TODAY show will reportedly see some changing faces over the coming months, as NBC and sister network MSNBC part ways.
According to a bombshell new report on Politico, many TV personalities who float between both networks will be assigned to just one role during the messy split.

Beloved correspondent Jacob Soboroff “is expected to land at MSNBC,” journalist Lachlan Cartwright claimed.
Soboroff is reportedly “well liked” by MSNBC exec Rebecca Kutler.
Willie Geist, who often fills in at Today, will be the one anchor who remains at both networks, Politico reported.
It is unclear when the big changes will take place, and Soboroff has not yet commented on the rumors.
He joined NBC in 2015, and often fills in for Pop Star reporter Carson Daly, who is frequently away from the show for his role on The Voice.
He sometimes has a seat at the main anchor desk when hosts Savannah Guthrie or Craig Melvin are out.
ROTATING DOORS
Today has been going through other major changes, including Hoda Kotb’s departure in January, and Melvin’s promotion to main anchor.
Sheinelle Jones has been off the show since December, dealing with a “family matter.”
With Kotb’s absence, Jenna Bush Hager has been welcoming rotating guest co-hosts, including Olivia Munn, Scarlett Johansson and Andy Cohen.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported, execs are eyeing Jones to replace Kotb on Today’s 4th Hour with Hager when she returns to work in the coming months.

TRAGIC LOSS
The journalist suffered a tragedy in his personal life when he lost his childhood home to the Los Angeles wildfires in January.
The father of two, 42, choked back tears when he discovered on camera that his beloved Pacific Palisades home was reduced to ashes.
“It’s gone!” he cried out, as he drove by.
“Oh, my. This is my childhood home. It’s gone.
“I look around the town, the neighborhood, the place that I grew up in, and it’s hard to imagine what comes next and what happens next.
“There’s not a single house left standing here.”
Today show fans immediately flooded his social media with support.
“I’m so sorry Jake. Thank you for your reporting,” wrote one follower.
“Thank you for your reporting – may God be with you, the firefighters and first responders,” responded another.
