The Today Show team just got a little bit bigger this morning, with the hosts of the NBC News morning show welcoming a new addition to their crew.
On Wednesday, August 23rd's show, Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, and Sheinelle Jones introduced the newest hire, Chloe Melas, straight from CNN.
Chloe started off her first day as NBC and Today's new entertainment correspondent by reporting on the biggest developing story in the world of music – Scooter Braun losing his A-list clientele.
After the segment was up, Hoda turned it to Chloe by saying: "We need to say, welcome Chloe! This is your first day of school, we're so happy to have you, you fit in just right!"
An ecstatic Chloe, 37, gushed: "I didn't sleep last night. I think my two little boys are watching right now, Leo and Luke.
"And my husband Brian is the ultimate Today Show fan. He's probably going to be outside with a sign," with Hoda joking he probably had a "Chloe's #1" sign.
