Craig Melvin's Surprising Confession on 'Today With Jenna and Friends'
Craig Melvin made an unexpected confession during his guest co-hosting of the Today show's fourth hour, Today With Jenna and Friends, alongside Jenna Bush Hager on November 3. As they prepared to discuss trending topics, Craig revealed he had never watched Jenna’s show before that moment.
"You know, I've never seen [Today With Jenna and Friends]," Craig admitted to Jenna, according to People.
Jenna was taken aback by this revelation, responding, "That is so rude!" She was visibly stunned and asked rhetorically if others had heard his admission.
Craig explained that his schedule typically prevents him from staying in Studio 1A after his segment, as he co-anchors the first three hours of the program with Savannah Guthrie. He said, "I'm usually in transit, but this is nice," defending why he hadn't watched the 10 a.m. show until then.
Jenna playfully pointed out, "Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour," to which Craig agreed, "I could probably watch some of it."
Despite not having watched the show regularly, Craig acknowledged Jenna's significant impact on the segment.
Summary
Craig Melvin's candid admission about never watching Jenna Bush Hager's show surprised her but highlighted the busy schedules of morning show co-hosts and Jenna's strong influence on the program.
