NextImg:Where Is Jenna Bush Hager? ‘Today’ Host Mysteriously Missing From ‘Today’ Broadcast With Hoda Kotb

Hoda Kotb was missing her partner in crime Wednesday (Jan. 10) morning on Today With Hoda & Jenna.

Kotb walked out on stage as she does every morning of Today, but this time she was joined by Laura Jarrett, NBC News senior legal correspondent and Saturday co-anchor of The Today Show. Though Jarrett and Kotb hit it off on the air, viewers were certainly wondering where Kotb’s usual co-host was.

Bush Hager did still come up in conversation, however, when Kotb vowed that they will definitely be getting matching tattoos on the show. Fingers crossed it actually happens!

Her sudden absence comes just one day after she made a memorable moment on-air when struggling to navigate her cell phone during the broadcast. As Kotb grew more exasperated by Bush Hager — and the segment became increasingly awkward — she joked, “I feel like my mom.”

But, where was Bush Hager during Wednesday’s episode of Today? Here’s what we know so far.

Kotb explained at the top of the show that Bush Hager would be replaced by Jarrett today because her usual co-host was feeling “under the weather.”

“She’s not feeling great today,” Kotb said.

This comes as no surprise to regular viewers of the show. Just yesterday, Bush Hager took a cough drop out of her mouth at the start of the show as Kotb explained that she was “feeling a little funky.”

“I have to take out my— I’m sorry,” Bush Hager said as she took the cough drop out of her mouth on camera.

“You know what, you’re feeling a little funky, it’s okay,” Kotb replied.

Bush Hager added, “It is a weird thing when you wake up and you’re like — I’m fine, I just have a cold — but you wake up and you’re like, ‘Oh no.'”

For now, it is unclear when she should be expected back on the show. But in the meantime, we’re hoping Bush Hager has a speedy recovery!

Today with Jenna and Hoda airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
