The fourth hour of NBC News‘ “Today,” typically hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, did not switch to its mothership’s new graphics Monday, Jan. 7, 2019.


Instead, the show stuck to its blue, orange and white lower thirds inspired by the previous main “Today” look and bug placed within the 4:3 safe area.

The show also continued to use the new open it unveiled in the fall of 2018.
