FANS of Today are making a massive demand and calling for the 4th hour of the show to undergo a big shakeup.

Many fans of the hit morning show on ABC are begging that bosses hire a certain “funny and gorgeous” fill-in as Hoda Kotb’s replacement.

Hoda wrapped up her final segment of Today on January 10, 2025, with guest hosts filling in for the veteran host ever since.

Viewers are now pleading that ABC need to “stop the constant guest hosts” and hire Olivia Munn.

Today’s 4th hour has seen Jenna Bush Hager have a different guest host since Hoda’s departure – some for days, and some for a week.

Last week, it was Olivia who stepped in to co-host alongside Jenna, and viewers were awestruck.

Reacting to Olivia’s hosting stint, one person said on Instagram: “Olivia is great! She’s calm not loud like some of the previous guest hosts.

“She’s fun, intelligent, makes me laugh, and gorgeous to admire! Can we stop having more guests host and hire her or Scarlett?”

A second then echoed: “Olivia has a quick wit and is smart but not loud! She did great!!!”

‘PUT A CONTRACT IN PLACE!’

“Olivia was a great co-host! She is so honest and straight forward with her true thoughts and feelings! Loved it,” penned a third.

A fourth person then wrote: “Olivia was great, she’s got the spunk needed to play with Jenna. She gets my vote.”

While a fifth said: “I love her, put a contract in place Jenna, perfect match.”

On January 10, 2025, Hoda was overcome with emotion on her last day ever at the Today Show after 17 years.

A NEW TODAY IS DAWNING

But since her departure, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Sheinelle Jones is to officially replace Hoda as Jenna’s co-host after she’s back from family leave.

TODAY Show hosts

NBC’s Today show premiered in 1952 and has bidden viewers good morning every weekday since, adding Saturday and Sunday shows in the 1980s and 1990s. The show’s current host lineup includes:

Al Roker
Savannah Guthrie
Craig Melvin
Jenna Bush Hager
Carson Daly
Sheinelle Jones
Dylan Dreyer
Peter Alexander
Kristen Welker
Willie Geist

According to a source, Sheinelle, 46, “has the job” but added how there will not be an announcement until after her leave of absence has ended.

She has been away from Today since December, and has been silent on social media as well.

Sheinelle only returned to Instagram briefly on January 15 to issue a statement about her coping with a “family health matter.”

The source added that while Sheinelle got the job, Today’s lifestyle contributor, Jill Martin, also lobbied hard for the spot.

Meanwhile, network execs learned an important lesson by promoting anchor Craig Melvin to Hoda’s more news-driven co-anchor spot alongside Savannah Guthrie, which seemed to help inform their decision regarding Sheinelle.

“Ratings with Craig are good. This taught executives that the audience wants people they know and that they should promote from within,” the source said.
