Today with Jenna & Friends: Taraji P. Henson Returns, Phylicia Rashad Guests (NBC, Friday, January 17, 2025)

Today with Hoda & Jenna

Taraji P. Henson returns for a second stint as co-host on Friday’s Today with Jenna & Friends. The episode promises a mix of celebrity appearances, beauty tips, and a feel-good scholarship surprise.

Today’s Talk will focus on beauty with a segment called “Beauty Tool Time.” Expect demonstrations of various gadgets and appliances. Legendary actress Phylicia Rashad will also be a guest on the show.

The show will also feature a scholarship surprise for a deserving individual. Such segments are always a welcome change of pace from the usual product placements and celebrity interviews. In the Today Food segment, Nina Nguyen will be cooking up something, hopefully something more exciting than avocado toast. And for those seeking career advice, Dr. Summer Allen will offer guidance in the “Know Your Value” segment.
