*Jess Hilarious is apparently out as the new co-host of “The Breakfast Club” before she officially starts the position.
We reported earlier that the comedian was set to replace Angele Yee on the long-running morning radio show alongside Charlamagne Da God and DJ Envy.
Jess announced her new gig at an event in her hometown of Baltimore on Dec. 23. On X/Twitter, one user said her addition to the show is “Definitely a good fit.”
But now comes word that Jess was allegedly dropped after prematurely announcing the job before contract negotiations had been finalized. Meanwhile, SandraRose.com reports that she was a no-call/no-show on her first day on the job on January 8.
According to the outlet, she didn’t show up for work this week on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It’s worth noting that Power 105.1 FM in New York has not confirmed Jess is joining the team.
On Wednesday (Jan. 10), Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy spoke about their search for a third ‘Breakfast Club’ co-host after Yee announced her departure in August 2022.
“You know what I’m so confused by? We spent all last year rotating guest co-hosts, and I thought we were rotating guest co-hosts before we let God decide who’s supposed to be in here,” DJ Envy explained during the ‘Rumor Report’ segment. “Now, it’s 2024 — do we just say, ‘F-it, there’s not going to be another co-host?’”
Charlamagne added, “No, it was never supposed to be a couple of months,” he said. “…I said it’s gon’ take at least a year… Angela Yee, I’ve always said, is irreplaceable. So the person coming here is not replacing someone — if there’s somebody coming here. That’s my whole point of having this conversation. What the hell happened?”
Charlamage noted that he doesn’t know what’s happening with the search for a third co-host.
“I just don’t know what the hell’s going on. I’m not even joking with y’all,” he said.
