Hoda Kotb rolled out the welcome wagon, and her camera phone, to greet NBC's newest hire on Monday afternoon.
The Today host posted a photo on Twitter as she cozied up to Megyn Kelly, who is starting her second week on the job at 30 Rock.
'Lookie who I ran into at [30 Rock] -- our girl @megynkelly! So happy to have you with us at NBC!! Let's have some fun xo,' wrote Kotb.
The two women could be seen beaming in the photo, and Kelly later showed Kotb some love by retweeting a photo she took during her show.
That photo showed Kotb with co-host Kathie Lee Gifford and their A-list guest on Monday, actor and singer and dancer Jennifer Lopez.
Kelly and Kotb will he airing back-to-back when the new NBC schedule takes effect later this year, with Kelly's show airing at 9am and Kotb and Gifford staying in the 10am time slot.

Kelly is hitting the ground running at NBC, with the popular host already getting one big interview in the can, which may be her debut with the network.
The former Fox News host was spotted in Los Angeles two weeks ago heading in and out of the same studio where the Kardashian and Jenner women were taping a 10th anniversary special for Today.
She was snapped as she and her two person squad made their way through the studio lot, and her masterful makeup and perfectly tousled blonde waves along with her ruffled crimson baby doll dress seemed like just the look for a day of keeping and catching up with the fashion-forward ladies.
It has also been announced that Kelly will be heading to Russia and speaking with President Vladmir Putin next month.
'Megyn Kelly of NBC News will moderate the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on stage with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin,' revealed a NBC spokesperson last week.
'The conversation will cover a wide range of global political and economic topics, including international trade agreements, cyber-security and the impact of rising military tensions.'
The former Fox News anchor has been laying low ever since she announced back in January that she would be spreading her feathers and heading over to the Peacock Network when her contract was up with the cable news leader, where she has worked for more than a decade.

That all changed last month however when she hit the red carpet at the THR Media event in NYC.
When asked if she was looking forward to getting back into the swing of things over at NBC, Kelly said: 'I've spent enough time staring at the refrigerator, it's time to do some news.'
Kelly, 46, seemed elated to be out and about again as she was photographed smiling and laughing with colleagues past and present including NBC stars Savannah Guthrie and Lester Holt as well as her former Fox News buddy and occasional adversary Sean Hannity.
The two could be seen grinning from ear-to-ear in one photo as they embraced each other in the middle of the event, which was held at the still-under-construction Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City.
Savanah Guthrie and Lester Holt were also honorees at the event, as was Hannity, who was listed alongside Bill O'Reilly on the THR list this year.
O'Reilly was not in attendance, and a week after the event was let go after 20 years with Fox News.

Fox News co-president Bill Shine, another of the honorees, was in attendance however, and was questioned at the time about O'Reilly's future at the network.
New York writer and reporter Gabriel Sherman, who first wrote about the sexual harassment allegations involving the network and Roger Ailes back in 2014 when he released his biography of the CEO, was one of those who approached Shine hoping for a scoop
'At @THR party, I asked Fox News co-president Bill Shine what plan is for O'Reilly. "I'm just going to have a good time tonight," he said,' wrote Sherman on Twitter.
Two weeks later, Shine also found himself out of a job.
