Wed May 07 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Today Show Fans Demand Matt Rogers as Hoda Kotb’s Replacement
**NEW YORK** – Following Hoda Kotb’s departure from the *Today* show several months ago, the search for her fourth-hour co-host continues. While the show has employed a rotating roster of guest hosts, a clear favorite has emerged: Matt Rogers.
Rogers, star of the Netflix series *I Love That For You* and host of the popular podcast *Las Culturistas*, is currently filling in alongside Jenna Bush Hager. His appearances have sparked an outpouring of support from viewers, who have flooded social media with pleas for NBC to make him a permanent fixture.
Fans praise Rogers’ fun and engaging personality, describing the Bush Hager-Rogers pairing as an “iconic duo” and declaring themselves “obsessed” with their chemistry. The enthusiasm mirrors the positive reaction to another guest host, *Saturday Night Live* star Bowen Yang, who also received widespread acclaim last month.
The overwhelming online demand suggests a clear frontrunner in the ongoing search for Hoda Kotb’s successor. Whether NBC will heed the viewers’ call remains to be seen.
