It looks like Jenna Bush Hager may have found her new favorite co-host on *Jenna & Friends*, the revamped version of *4th Hour with Hoda & Jenna*.
After the departure of Hoda Kotb earlier this month, Jenna has been welcoming a rotation of guest co-hosts to sit by her side.
The latest guest to join the fun is none other than Scarlett Johansson,
and it seems the Marvel star wouldn’t mind making the hosting role a little more permanent.
Scarlett Johansson, a familiar face on the *Today* show, joined Jenna as a co-host for a week of special appearances, and their chemistry was immediately evident.
On Tuesday, January 21, Scarlett kicked off her first of four guest appearances on *Jenna & Friends*, and the behind-the-scenes moments shared on Instagram showed the duo having a blast together.
As they wrapped up the first show of the week, Jenna enthusiastically announced, “Scarlett’s gonna come back!” Scarlett, always quick with a joke, teased, “I work here now!”
This playful exchange prompted Jenna to joke that she’d need a Sharpie to cross out “Friends” from the show’s logo and replace it with Scarlett’s name. “I’m gonna need to change our graphics,” Jenna quipped, as the audience and crew cheered Scarlett’s name. Scarlett chimed in, “We need to get all new totes,” adding to the fun and banter between the pair.
Fans who tuned in couldn’t get enough of the dynamic duo, and the comments section on social media was flooded with praise. One fan wrote, “They are the duo I didn’t know I needed! Can we please make this permanent?!” Another added, “This duo is so much fun!!! Scarlett is having the time of her life.” Others gushed, “You two are perfect together. Loving this and adore Scarlett and her cutie hubby… you have found your match, Jenna!!”
It’s clear from the enthusiastic reactions that fans are loving Scarlett’s co-hosting stint. Even Hoda Kotb, who recently stepped away from her co-hosting duties, couldn’t help but share her approval. She commented on the post, writing, “Sooooo good!!!!” Hoda’s supportive comment only further fueled speculation that Scarlett might be a strong contender to join Jenna on a more permanent basis.
While Scarlett’s guest appearances have certainly captured the attention of *Today* viewers, it wasn’t just Jenna and Scarlett’s playful banter that stole the spotlight. The actress’ husband, *Saturday Night Live* star Colin Jost, also made a surprise appearance on the show. He stopped by on Wednesday, bringing a bouquet of flowers for Scarlett, adding a touch of romance to the already heartwarming episode.
Scarlett’s co-hosting gig is proving to be an exciting week for both Jenna and her audience, and Thursday’s episode promises to be even more special. The show will feature both Jenna and Scarlett’s fraternal twins, Barbara Bush and Hunter Johansson, joining them on set for an extra special segment.
As the week continues, fans are left wondering if Scarlett’s time on *Jenna & Friends* will lead to something more permanent. With her natural on-screen presence, playful energy, and seamless chemistry with Jenna, it’s no surprise that viewers are hoping to see more of this dynamic duo in the future. Whether it’s on *Today* or another platform, it’s clear that Scarlett Johansson could easily be a perfect fit for Jenna’s next co-hosting adventure.
As the show’s new format continues to evolve, viewers can look forward to seeing what other guest stars will join the fun next. For now, Scarlett Johansson’s appearances are making waves, and it seems that Jenna Bush Hager may have just found her ideal co-host for the foreseeable future.
