Hey there, folks! Scarlett Johansson just showed up on the ‘Today’ show in the coziest way possible—rocking a plush bathrobe and house slippers. The A-list actress, known for her Marvel superhero roles, made an impromptu appearance during the Thursday, January 23, broadcast, proving she's just as comfortable on the couch as she is saving the world. Jenna Bush Hager and the rest of the crew couldn’t have been happier to see her.
Even the official ‘Today’ show Instagram couldn’t resist sharing the moment with a caption that read, "ScarJo loves this job so much, she couldn’t wait until the fourth hour to make an appearance!" It's clear Scarlett has fully embraced her guest cohosting gig on Today With Jenna & Friends.
Now, picture this: Scarlett, looking utterly relaxed in her cozy attire, casually strolls onto the set and greets the hosts—Jenna Bush Hager, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker, Carson Daly, and Craig Melvin. The group was understandably delighted, and Scarlett didn’t waste a second to express how much she adores her time on the show. "This is my favorite job I’ve ever had. I love this job," she said, with her hair pinned up and her sweats peeking out from beneath her robe.

Scarlett's Love Affair with the ‘Today’ Show
Scarlett Johansson has been a guest cohost on Today With Jenna & Friends for a week now, and it’s evident she’s having the time of her life. Her candid charm and heartfelt enthusiasm have captivated audiences and the hosts alike. Jenna, 43, couldn’t help but ask if Scarlett would consider coming back, to which she replied, “Yes, I absolutely have to come back—if you’ll have me?”
Jenna was quick to respond, “Are you kidding? We started a GoFundMe so you could be here all the time!” The rest of the hosts chimed in, agreeing wholeheartedly. It’s clear that Scarlett has won everyone over with her down-to-earth personality and natural chemistry with the team.
Plans for the Future
Scarlett confirmed that she’s scheduled to return to the ‘Today’ show in March, following the conclusion of her current one-week stint on Friday, January 24. But her connection with the show doesn’t stop there. Later in the broadcast during Jenna & Friends, Scarlett and Jenna strengthened their bond by getting their ears pierced live on camera. That’s commitment, right there!
Fans Want More of Scarlett
The comment section on social media has been flooded with fans urging the show to keep Scarlett on permanently. “What a joy this week has been with her! Jenna found her new co-host! Scarlett is a keeper!” one fan exclaimed. Another chimed in, “We love her too! Please make her the co-host with Jenna. I miss Hoda [Kotb] but Scarlett would fit right in.”
Since Hoda’s final episode on January 10, several celebrities have joined Jenna during her segment. While Taraji P. Henson, Keke Palmer, and Eva Longoria have all made appearances, there’s something uniquely special about the dynamic between Jenna and Scarlett.
Opening Up About Family Life
During her week-long residency, Scarlett Johansson not only dished on pop culture topics but also opened up about her personal life. In a segment on Tuesday, January 21, Scarlett humorously reacted to Brittany Mahomes going out just six days after welcoming her third child with husband Patrick Mahomes. “How is she upright?” Scarlett joked, adding, “Six days after I had a baby, somebody told me that beer would help bring in your milk or whatever it is. So, I think I had a giant Guinness and a huge bowl of puffed Cheetos, and I was staring into the abyss, like, ‘What have I done?’”

Jenna has been nothing but glowing in her praise for Scarlett, even before they became work besties. “I love [Scarlett],” Jenna told People in a story published on January 23. “And also, when something ends and you’re starting something new, to have people raise their hands and show up for you, it’s the most gracious, amazing feeling. Truthfully.”
