Craig Melvin Admits to Never Watching Jenna Bush Hager's Hour on 'Today'
On Monday, November 3, Craig Melvin co-hosted Today with Jenna & Friends for the first time. Surprisingly, he revealed that he had never watched the show before.
First Time Co-Hosting and Unexpected Admission
Melvin, the Today co-anchor who took over from Hoda Kotb in January, joined Jenna Bush Hager at the round table. Commenting on the set, he said,
“This is a nice set. You know, I’ve never seen the show.”
Bush Hager immediately responded,
“That is so rude!”
Explanation and Exchange
Melvin explained his absence as a viewer was due to logistical reasons:
“Well, because we’re just getting off.”
Bush Hager pressed further:
“Did you just hear him say he’s never watched the show?”
He clarified,
“No, because I’m usually in transit, but this is nice.”
Bush Hager reminded him,
“Here’s the thing about it. It’s a full hour.”
Melvin admitted,
“I know, I could probably watch some of it.”
Summary
This candid moment revealed Melvin's honest take on joining the show without prior familiarity, much to Bush Hager's playful dismay.
