Scarlett Johansson to Co-Host "Today with Jenna & Friends"

The Black Widow star, Scarlett Johansson, will be stepping into a new role as a guest co-host on Today with Jenna & Friends alongside Jenna Bush Hager. The exciting news was announced by Bush Hager, who expressed her admiration for Johansson's work and shared their common interests.

Common Ground with Scarlett Johansson

Bush Hager and Johansson share more similarities than one might expect. Both have twin siblings and daughters close in age. Their shared experiences provide a strong foundation for an engaging dynamic on the show.

New Era for "Today"

Today with Jenna & Friends is set to launch on January 13, following Hoda Kotb's departure. The show will feature a rotating list of celebrity guests, including Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, and Keke Palmer, before Johansson takes the helm as a co-host.

Bush Hager expressed her excitement about the new era of the show, which aims to represent a diverse range of guests and appeal to a broad audience. The transition, however, comes with a tinge of sadness as Bush Hager bids farewell to her beloved co-host, Hoda Kotb.

The "Hoda-bration"

Leading up to Kotb's departure, Today is celebrating her contributions with a "Hoda-bration." The festivities will culminate in a final live show on January 10, featuring special surprises and heartfelt moments.

Despite the mixed emotions surrounding the changes, Bush Hager is looking forward to the new chapter of the show and the opportunity to work with Johansson. The chemistry between the hosts promises an entertaining and engaging experience for viewers.
