On Thursday's show, Sheinelle sat behind the anchor desk with the two mains co-hosts.

Typically, Craig comes in about 30 minutes into the Today Show to join the women and talk about important headlines.

However, today, that job went to Sheinelle, who typically hosts the third hour of Today, with Craig, Al Roker, and Dylan Dreyer.

An all-female panel is a rare occurrence on the show.

Craig did not give an explanation for his absence.

And it is suspicious, considering he was in for the rest of the week.

It is not clear if he will be back on Friday.

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.

MAKING JOKES

Sheinelle continued to laugh for the next 30 seconds or so before composing herself.

She went on to talk about different points with Tom to make sure someone really wants to quit their job.

When it came to Craig's turn to talk, they seemed to have poked fun at Sheinelle again.

"Let's talk about some of the common mistakes that people might make during this process," Craig said.

"Well, introducing the show by the wrong name..." Tom said, as he pointed back to Sheinelle.

"Yes, that's a common one!" Craig said.

Sheinelle cracked up again as the camera zoomed in on her.

Tom then moved on to Al for more questions.

At the end of the segment, the hosts thanked Tom for coming in and Sheinelle stressed: "Well, good DAY, Tom. Thanks for coming in."

Everyone laughed just as the segment ended.
