On April 11, the show announced that Tyra Banks would be in the studio all of next week to co-host Jenna & Friends. Althoughsome commenters were thrilled by the news that the supermodel and former talk show host will be returning to their screens, others used the post as an opportunity to make a request.
'Please choose Bowen Yang as a permanent co-host. He is my favorite!!' wrote one commenter about the Saturday Night Live cast member.
Another fan agreed, commenting, 'I need more Bowen Yang!! Please bring him back!!!'
Yang co-hosted twice this week, prompting fans to declare that he's 'Such a great cohost,' and call him 'a natural.'
One fan noted that while they 'Loved Bowen,' they 'know he's too busy to be the hoda replacement.'
Though there hasn't been any public announcement of Yang returning to co-host with Bush Hager, the Las Culturistas podcaster will be on NBC again this weekend. No, not just on the Jon Hamm-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live, but also on Sunday Today, hosted by Willie Geist.
In a preview of the interview, Yang opened up about his relationship with his parents, revealing that they struggled to come to terms with his sexuality when he came out of the closet as a teenager.
'They were like, 'Oh, we didn't realize this is what we were dealing with. Where we come from, this doesn't happen.' That was sort of their concept of it. And so I give them a lot of grace for that because they just have no context for it. And so we went to conversion therapy,' Yang told Geist.

Netflix Strikes 'New Kind Of Partnership' To Carry TF1 Stations In France
French viewers will soon be able to watch TF1 on a new platform — Netflix. Billed by the U.S. streaming giant as a 'new kind of partnership,' TF1's commercial stations and on-demand content will be available on Netflix from summer next year. Financial details were not disclosed. More from Deadline Netflix Unveils Series Adaptation Of Australian Novel 'My Brilliant Career' 5 Songs With 'Forever' Music Supervisor Kier Lehman Justine Lupe Teases 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 And Working With "Delightful" and "Goofy" New Guest Star Leighton Meester The seemingly landmark distribution agreement is the equivalent of NBC, or another major American commercial network, handing over its output to Netflix. It is further evidence of Netflix's growing power over traditional TV networks, as well as a marker of the ambition it has for its ad business. If successful, it could prove to be a test case for similar deals as Netflix aims to cement its position as the world's TV channel. Netflix said French viewers will be able to watch TF1 shows like The Voice 'without ever having to leave the service' — an unambiguous statement about its desire to keep members locked in. Greg Peters, co-CEO of Netflix, said: 'This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience.' Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group, added: 'As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers.' Peters flew into France to attend Cannes Lions, the ad market festival where the deal was announced. It signals a deepening of ties between Netflix and TF1 after they partnered on co-productions like Les Combattantes and L'Agence. Last November, Netflix, TF1, and Newen Studio collaborated on the streamer's first daily drama series in France. Tout Pour La Lumière will be available on Netflix five days before its free-to-air broadcast on TF1.

At the start of the Thursday, June 19 episode of the Not Gonna Lie podcast, the 33-year-old podcaster shared how her 5-year-old daughter Wyatt expertly responded to her asking if she was "for real for real." Kylie noted that her daughter's response caused her to have to "stifle a laugh." "I'm not gonna lie, yesterday, I was caught off guard because I asked Wyatt, 'Are you for real for real?' and she said, 'No it's pretend pretend,' " she said.

Kylie and her husband Jason Kelce, 37, who announced his retirement from the NFL in March 2024, are the proud parents of four daughters — newborn Finnley 'Finn' Anne, Bennett Llewellyn, 2, Elliotte Ray, 4, and Wyatt Elizabeth, 5. Now that Jason has retired, Kylie shared what she hopes their daughters will take away from their dad's time playing in the NFL. "I hope that ultimately they end up understanding that their dad had an impact on Philadelphia in a way that was wholesome and that he understood the city, enough that he wanted to stay there and raise a family there," she told Today in March 2024. "He gave his blood, sweat and tears to the city and it was out of sheer love and commitment. And I hope that my girls see that.' Elsewhere in the podcast, the mom of four opened up about a secret she's keeping from her four little daughters, and it's a lie she's totally fine with. "We've taken some trips to the shore, and we were lucky enough to get the screen feature in the back. We have a TV. That is a game changer for the beach. The girls are obsessed," Kelce began to explain in the episode. "Although I won't lie to you guys," she continued, jokingly adding, "I will lie to my children till the day I die — but I won't lie to you guys — and I did lie and tell my children that the TV only works on long car rides." is now available in the Apple App Store!

On the Thursday, June 12, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the mother of four recalled a viral moment from her husband Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast last week where their 4-year-old daughter Elliotte Ray loudly shouted, 'I'm all done pooping!' 'Can someone tell me when you're supposed to stop wiping your kids' butts?' Kylie pondered. 'I could be about to get dragged on the Internet … all the moms out there, can you tell me so that we can sort of add them all up and get the average of when we should stop wiping their butts specifically for poop? Okay? Don't come for me." Noting that she doesn't trust her young children to properly wipe and wash their hands, Kylie shared that she taught her kids to call for them when they're going No. 2. 'That's the soundtrack of my life right there,' she said of the call. 'This happens probably anywhere from two times minimum, six times maximum a day. It is legitimately something that I hear in my — I was gonna say dreams, but let's be honest, that's a nightmare.' Read the original article on People
