Meteorologist Dylan Dreyer has a forecast on who might fill Today’s soon-to-be empty anchor chair.
Shortly after longtime host Hoda Kotb tearfully announced on Sept. 26 that she will be stepping away from her co-anchor duties, her Third Hour of Today colleague Dylan had some insight on who might replace the person she called the “heart and soul of The Today Show.”
And according to Dylan, Today is “such a family” that she believes any of the team members—who include Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones, Jenna Bush Hager, Carson Daly and Weekend Today coanchors Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett—have the talent to take over alongside co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.
“I don’t think if they named anyone in our core group of people it would be surprising,” Dylan exclusively told E! News cohost Keltie Knight at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards on Sept. 26. “We’ve all filled in along the way when somebody’s out. I don’t know if anybody’s made any decisions yet, but if it’s one of the core group, I really don’t think it’s that surprising.”
