'' Third Hour Today '' , the current name for the third hour of '' Today '' , features anchors who appear in the first two hours of the program . After '' Megyn Kelly Today '' was cancelled on October 26 , 2018 , NBC announced that '' Today '' anchors would host the third hour . The new third hour premiered on October 29 , 2018 , with Hoda Kotb , Craig Melvin and Al Roker anchoring for the first 20 minutes from Studio 1A , reporting on the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting , with Savannah Guthrie anchoring live from Pittsburgh . At the top of the program , Kotb said : After 20 minutes , the program continued with Jenna Bush Hager from Studio 6A , the former home of '' Megyn Kelly Today '' , where broadcasts of the third hour would begin to be based . Since its debut , the third hour has used a modified nameless opening title sequence compared to the other editions of '' Today '' . Various other '' Today '' and NBC News personalities filled in until January , when it was announced that the official hosts would be Al Roker , Sheinelle Jones , Dylan Dreyer and Craig Melvin . On December 4 , 2018 , an NBC News spokesperson confirmed that the third hour would move to Studio 1A to streamline the production process and create a more seamless broadcast .
