“I’ve loved a lot [of the cohosts].

 I loved Dwyane Wade. I thought [he] was awesome.

 Every time Erin Andrews is on, I’m like, ‘She’s amazing,'” Daly shared in an interview with Us Weekly published on Tuesday, August 19. 

“Scarlett Johansson is everybody’s favorite, but she happens to be Hollywood’s most expensive actor.”

As for why Johansson won’t be able to join the show as Jenna Bush Hager‘s permanent cohost? 

“We can’t afford her, but she loves doing it,” Daly quipped. 

“I mean, Jenna’s had a lot of really good people. I don’t know. I kind of like the rotating cast. It keeps things fresh.”

Daly also noted that he asks “all the time” about who will officially join Bush Hager on the fourth hour of Today. 

“I think they want to keep this rotating thing going,” he explained.

Johansson was one of the first famous faces to co-host Jenna & Friends (formerly Today With Hoda & Jenna) following Hoda Kotb‘s departure from the show in January. 

After the show relaunched with guest hosts Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, Keke Palmer, and Michelle Buteau, Johansson took on hosting duties for an entire week from January 21 through January 24.
