Jenna Bush Hager May Have Named New ‘Today Show’ Co-Host in Off-Air Dance Moment

The search for a new co-host for Jenna Bush Hager on “Today Show” has been ongoing since January, and she may have just given an impromptu reveal of who her permanent co-host just might be.

Following Hoda Kotb’s departure in January, the talk show has been featuring a rotating line-up of potential co-hosts for Hager. However, the co-host of the fourth hour of the morning show possibly hinted at the final pick while former NBA player Dwyane Wade was co-hosting the week of July 7.

The Possible Reveal?

The actual moment was captured during a fun off-air moment that just happened to be shared on Instagram. Hager and Wade were dancing and having some fun to his favorite song, “Lose Yourself” by Eminem.

While dancing, Wade joked that the song was his “walk-out song,” to which Hager responded, “We’ll do it in the fall!”

That is by no means a confirmation that Wade will be the permanent co-host on the fourth hour of “Today.” While Wade has been a longtime fan of the song — he told Time in 2006 that it “gets your mind right” — it still got fans of the show speculating on social media about what Hager’s comment meant.

One person said, “These are your new cohosts for this hour on NBC,” while another commented, “Just hire him already.”

The fans kept showing their support in the comments, with another adding, “He needs to be the new cohost for Jenna!” and one fan saying, “I love you two, y’all are the best morning show hosts 🙌🏼🙌🏼.”

Other Possible Co-Hosts

While there was a lot of love for Wade being the new permanent co-host, another commenter wanted the show to go in a different direction, saying: “He’s an amazing guy but I think Justin Sylvester is the one for this job! ❤️”

NBC has not confirmed any possible permanent co-host for Hager, but fans have definitely voiced their opinions online. While Sylvester has gotten a lot of praise during his time as guest co-host, others have also risen to the top. This includes actor/podcast host Matt Rogers, Scarlett Johansson, Michelle Buteau, fellow “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, comedian Heather McMahan, and Andy Cohen.

The show also featured a Family Week theme, where Hager was joined by members of her family serving as co-hosts, including her twin sister Barbara Bush, husband Henry Hager, and cousins Wendy Stapleton and Sam Bush LeBlond.
