Craig Melvin’s Confession
During the November 3 episode of Jenna's show, Craig Melvin, 46, commented on the vibrant studio set, saying, This is a nice set. You know, I’ve never seen the show.
Jenna, 43, mother of Mila (12), Poppy (10), and Hal (6) with husband Henry Hager, was taken aback and responded, That is so rude! Did you just hear him say he’s never watched the show?
Reasons Behind Not Watching
Craig, who started at the Today show in 2018 and recently replaced Hoda Kotb to co-anchor the main segment with Savannah Guthrie, clarified his reason:
No, because I’m usually in transit.
Jenna pointed out, But here’s the thing about it. It’s a full hour.
Craig acknowledged this and said, I know, I could probably watch some of it.
Background on Their Roles
This episode marked Craig’s first time co-hosting Jenna’s fourth-hour slot, although Jenna has appeared as a guest on earlier Today show time slots over the years.
