Hoda Kotb has officially replaced Matt Lauer as co-anchor of the “Today” show, and Twitter users are celebrating her pairing with Savannah Guthrie this morning.
“G.I.R.L.s are taking over!” the Girl Scouts tweeted of the new all-female setup at the NBC News program.
“#girlpower at the #TodayShow news anchor desk!” another user of the popular social media platform wrote. Second billing for that one as she (presumably) does not manufacture Thin Mints.
There was plenty more optimism where that came from. See a sample below.
G.I.R.L.s are taking over! Congratulations @hodakotb, great move @TODAYshow! #SavannahHodaTODAY 🙌🙌🏾 https://t.co/1fG1ICAAD8

I told my mom back when #Lauer got fired that, if they were smart, @TODAYshow would go with two women. Hoping that @hodakotb shines now that she’s in the right venue and kicks some ass. #SavannahHodaTODAY

Now, only if they can get @Oprah to replace Charlie Rose on @CBSThisMorning, we'll have an ALL women panel behind the newsdesk on TWO major Network morning shows!#SavannahHodaTODAY

Of course, not everyone was as happy as those people. Here are the thoughts from probably a new “Good Morning America” viewer:

That first one should be “t-o-o,” by the way, Mozzy.
