Craig Melvin to Co-Anchor NBC's Today Show

News summary

Craig Melvin has been announced as the new co-anchor of NBC's Today show, succeeding Hoda Kotb, who is stepping down in January 2025 after nearly 20 years. Melvin, who has been with NBC News for 14 years and currently co-hosts the third hour of Today, will join Savannah Guthrie for the 7-8 a.m. segment starting January 13. Kotb, who turns 60, cited a desire to spend more time with her family as a reason for her departure. The change was met with support from Guthrie and applause from the Today staff. Melvin expressed gratitude for the opportunity, acknowledging the support of his family and colleagues. Following Kotb's exit, the fourth hour, Today with Hoda & Jenna, will be renamed Today with Jenna & Friends, featuring a rotating cast of co-hosts until a permanent replacement is found.
