    There has been some breaking news regarding longtime Today Show 3rd Hour Co-Host Sheinelle Jones, who stepped away to take care of her then-ailing husband, who later died of brain cancer.

    USA Today reports that she is set to resume her co-hosting duties beginning Friday 09/05/25. In recent months, there has been speculation that following her husband’s death, Sheinelle may have stepped away from the TV spotlight for good.

    Her longtime co-host Dylan Dreyer has appeared with different co-hosts on the show, primarily Savannah Sellers and Kaylee Hartung, sparking rumors, including by Yours Truly, than NBC was preparing one of these two lovely women to be Dylan’s full time co-host.

    Sheinelle’s scheduled return has now settled all the lingering rumors. Looking forward to see what effect, if any, Sheinelle’s return after the long absence , will have on Today Show 3rd Hour.

  • Sheinelle Jones’ Husband Dies Of Brain Cancer

    The NBC’s Today Show family broke the very sad news on 05/23/25, that 3rd Hour co-host Sheinelle Jones’ husband, Uche Ojeh, had passed away from an aggressive form of brain cancer—Glioblastoma. Uche was 45.

    Sheinelle, who co-hosts 3rd Hour alongside Dylan Dreyer and Craig Melvin, has been absent from the show for quite a while, leading viewers to speculate on the reasons. Most viewers, including Yours Truly, thought she had left the show, despite what Dylan and her other co-hosts kept repeating—that Sheinelle had to attend to an urgent family matter.

    News of her husband’s death confirms what Dylan & company have been saying all along. It also speaks very well for Dylan & company that they told the public only what the public needed to know, without unnecessarily delving into Sheinelle’s private family matters.

    It’s unclear how long Sheinelle will stay away from the show while adjusting to her new reality, but we at HNC wish her & her family the very best, and hope to see her next to Dylan soon.
