Craig Melvin’s Unexpected Confession on ‘Today’ Left Jenna Bush Hager Stunned
Craig Melvin surprised viewers and his co-host Jenna Bush Hager during the November 3 episode of Today With Jenna and Friends. While joining Jenna as a guest co-host, Craig made a confession that caught everyone off guard.
"You know, I've never seen Today With Jenna and Friends," Craig told Jenna, according to People.
Jenna, visibly taken aback by his words, responded with disbelief.
"That is so rude!"
She turned to the audience in surprise, asking if they had heard him admit he’d never watched her show.
The Reason Behind Craig’s Admission
Despite Jenna’s shock, Craig shared that he had a reasonable explanation. As a co-anchor alongside Savannah Guthrie for the first three hours of NBC’s morning program, he doesn’t usually stay in Studio 1A after finishing his segment.
"I'm usually in transit, but this is nice," Craig explained.
Jenna humorously reminded him that her show runs for a full hour, and Craig admitted he might try catching some of it in the future.
Respect Beyond the Screen
Even though Craig hasn’t actually watched an episode, he acknowledged Jenna’s strong presence and the positive impact she’s made on the show.
