Jenna Bush Hager

All eyes are on Jenna who is the fourth hour's reliable co-host when Kathie Lee or Hoda go on vacation. Whether its her family stories, relatable mom moments or feel-good segments out in the field, Jenna has developed a strong fan base and deserves to be on top of the list of possible candidates.

Meredith Vieira

It's a Today reunion any morning TV fan would love. While the former co-anchor has a game show in the works for summer 2019, we have no doubts that if Hoda and Meredith came together again, it would be like no time has passed.

John Cena

He may be a WWE superstar. But for this athlete and actor, Today is his second home and he has consistently proven to be a great co-host in the third and fourth hour. How's your schedule looking next year, John?

Maria Shriver

The best-selling author and award winning journalist has developed an unbreakable friendship with Hoda. If these two came together, every show would be filled with words of wisdom.

Blake Shelton

The Voice may keep him busy in Los Angeles. But this country singer is beloved by Hoda and the Today show audience whenever he pays a visit—especially on a special Halloween edition. And did we mention Hoda named her dog after Blake? We're just sayin'.

Bethenny Frankel

When she's not on The Real Housewives of New York City, the Skinnygirl founder has developed a strong friendship with Hoda. If Today is looking for someone quick on their feet with an even quicker wit, look no further.

Andy Cohen

They both love pop culture and both have their own radio shows. And while Andy is swamped with Watch What Happens Live and keeping the Real Housewives happy, we're more than happy with the possibility of a co-host gig.

Meghan Trainor

She may be a busy artist traveling across the country performing hits like "Me Too" and "All About That Bass." But there's no question this singer is a big fan of the show. In fact, she even wrote one of the theme songs that is played daily. Wake up to Meghan and Hoda? You never know.

Willie Geist

If you want a man who can discuss politics, pop culture—he loves his rap music—and has a loyal Today following, look no further than Willie. Besides, we have to imagine the Morning Joe star would love a later wake-up call.

Jane Krakowski

The 30 Rock fan favorite always brings the laughs and humor when she co-hosts on Today. We don't see that changing in 2019.

Ellie Kemper

In recent months, the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star has taken on a more prominent role on Today by guest co-hosting and even interviewing a few Hollywood superstars like Dolly Parton.
