===={{anchor|Fourth hour}}''Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda''==== {{Main|Today with Jenna & Friends|l1=Today with Jenna & Friends (this article discusses the entire history of the fourth-hour segment)}} ''Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda'' was the fourth-hour segment of ''Today'' hosted by [[Kathie Lee Gifford]] and [[Hoda Kotb]], which aired from April 7, 2008, to April 5, 2019. It replaced the original fourth hour that debuted earlier that fall on September 10, 2007, originally hosted by Ann Curry, Natalie Morales, and Hoda Kotb. The program was its own distinct entity, with its own website and social media presence. The fourth hour does not have news or weather segments or input from the earlier hosts and is structured virtually as a standalone talk show, with an opening "host chat" segment reminiscent of the one popularized by Gifford and [[Regis Philbin]] on ''[[Live with Kelly and Ryan|Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee]]'', as well as interviews and features focusing on entertainment, fashion and other topics aimed at female viewers. On December 11, 2018, NBC and Gifford announced that she would be retiring from her position of anchoring the fourth hour in April 2019, her 11th anniversary since joining ''Today''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kim |first1=Eun Kyung |title=Kathie Lee Gifford announces she's stepping away from TODAY in 2019 |url=https://www.today.com/news/kathie-lee-gifford-step-away-today-2019-t144922 |website=TODAY.com |date=December 11, 2018 |access-date=December 12, 2018 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/Kathie-Lee-Gifford-Departing-Today-502459402.html|title=Kathie Lee Gifford departing ''Today''|work=NBC Connecticut|date=December 11, 2018|access-date=December 11, 2018}}</ref> Kotb continues co-anchoring the fourth hour.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Stelter |first1=Brian |title=Kathie Lee Gifford is leaving 'Today' |date=December 11, 2018 |url=https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/11/media/kathie-lee-gifford-leaving-today-show/ |work=CNN|access-date=December 12, 2018}}</ref> On February 26, 2019, NBC announced that [[Jenna Bush Hager]], the daughter of former U.S. President [[George W.
