‘Today’: Sheinelle Jones Tears Up During Last Day on Show’s Third Hour

Sheinelle Jones received heartfelt tributes from colleagues and fans as she transitions to cohost the Today show's fourth hour with Jenna Bush Hager on January 12.

  • On Friday, January 2, Today marked Sheinelle Jones' final appearance on the third hour as her tenure on the segment concluded.
  • Planning the transition, Sheinelle Jones will take a short break and Matt Rogers will fill in next week before Jones joins Jenna Bush Hager as fourth-hour cohost on January 12.
  • Colleagues marked the moment with clips and a poem celebrating Jones' on- and off-air life, as Al Roker played a July 2024 Instagram family video featuring Clara and Jones’s relatives.
  • The farewell turned emotional as Jones teared up, hugged Craig Melvin, and the Today cast and crew toasted her final day while she thanked Today viewers for their support.
  • Jones used a family clip to underscore a sorority legacy spanning generations, noting her grandmother pledged 1949, her mother pledged 1972, she pledged 1997, and Clara is next; the Third Hour of Today, Weekdays, 9 a/8c, is known as the `nonsense people`.
