The Today Show website notes Today With Jenna & Friends will continue airing “Best-of episodes” through Friday, Aug. 29. It remains unclear when the show will return with new episodes, however, it is fairly standard for talk shows to take hiatuses during the summer and return with new episodes after Sept. 1, or Labor Day.

Bush Hager teased what fans should expect next week during Friday’s (Aug. 22) broadcast.

“It’s a week of star power on Jenna & Friends. We catch up with the hilarious Wanda Sykes, plus, we’ll debate some ‘Dad Dilemmas’ with our pal, Jimmy Fallon,” Bush Hager said. “Also, Sarah Michelle Gellar whips up one of her favorite go-to healthy meals, and we’ll work out with Oscar winner Halle Berry. That’s all next week on Jenna & Friends.”

She also teased that Scarlett Johansson will be appearing, as well as Bowen Yang.

Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
