On November 3, Craig Melvin guest co-hosted the fourth hour of Today alongside Jenna Bush Hager. During their segment, Craig revealed something unexpected about his familiarity with Jenna’s show.
Craig admitted he had never watched the set of Today With Jenna and Friends before that day. He said,
“You know, I've never seen [Today With Jenna and Friends].”Jenna was shocked and replied,
“That is so rude!”She asked in disbelief, “Did you just hear him say he's never watched the show?”
Craig explained his reason for this: as co-anchor of the first three hours of Today alongside Savannah Guthrie, he rarely stays in Studio 1A after his segment ends.
“I'm usually in transit, but this is nice,”he said, defending himself.
Jenna pointed out the show's length, saying,
“Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour.”Craig agreed, then added,
“I could probably watch some of it.”
Even though Craig hasn’t really watched the show, he recognizes the positive impact Jenna has made during her time hosting.
Author's summary: Craig Melvin surprised Jenna Bush Hager by admitting he had never watched her show before guest hosting, though he appreciates her influence on Today’s fourth hour.
