THE Today Show host Sheinelle Jones has gone missing from the morning show on Friday.
Her absence comes one day after she pulled double duty on the show, replacing a lead anchor.

Sheinelle, 44, filled in for Craig Melvin at the lead anchor desk on Thursday.
She sat with Savannah Guthrie, 51, and Hoda Kotb, 58, making a rare all-female panel.
However, Craig, 43, returned on Friday, but then Sheinelle was not present on the show.
The TODAY host pulled double duty, as she anchored not only the main show, but also the third hour of Today.
She hosted the third hour with Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer on Thursday.
During the third hour on Friday, Al gave an explanation for why Sheinelle was absent.
“Here, along side Craig and Dylan. Sheinelle is off doing Wild Child out west,” he told viewers.
“Wild Child,” Dylan Dreyer laughed.

MISSING DALY!
Sheinelle also led the PopStart segment on Thursday, as Carson Daly was also absent from the show.
She sat with Savannah, Hoda, and Al on the couch.
Carson, 49, is usually the expert on all things pop culture, but the host was mysteriously absent.
There was no reason given for his absence.
He remained missing on Friday, but Dylan took over his spot that day.
Dylan was also missing on Thursday.
OOPS!
Even though Sheinelle got Craig’s job on Thursday, he teased her earlier this month about finding a new one.
Sheinelle made a major blunder about a rival show before her co-host called her out.
She and her co-hosts talked with Tom Gimbel, CEO and founder of LaSalle Network, a recruitment service.
They were running a segment on new jobs for the new year.
“Welcome to Good-,” Sheinelle said, before she stopped herself.
“I was going to say ‘welcome to good morning.’ Did you hear that? Good morning.”
Tom laughed, along with her co-hosts, and said good morning back.
However, the blunder could be seen as Sheinelle referencing rival morning show, Good Morning America.
“Do you know where you work?” Al asked.
Sheinelle cracked up and Craig said: “Different show.
“Looks like you might be looking for a job!”
Tom spoke up and said: “I’ll help you find a new job!”
Sheinelle could not contain her laughter and practically walked off the set.
“I was going to say Welcome to Good Day,” she defended herself.
FOX’s Good Day Philadelphia was where Sheinelle used to work before joining Today.
