Friendly Additions: Hoda Kotb’s departure from the Today franchise has left a big hole in NBC News’ flagship morning show, particularly for its fourth hour. So Jenna Bush Hager is bringing in some friends to sit alongside her and keep the good times rolling during the renamed Today with Jenna and Friends hour until a permanent co-host is named. Actors Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, and Keke Palmer will be up first beginning Monday, Jan. 13, with comedian Michelle Buteau joining Jenna on Jan. 16 and Oscar nominee Scarlett Johansson subbing in for a week-long stint on Jan. 21.
