Today Show Co-Host Craig Melvin Admits Never Watching Jenna Bush Hager's Segment

Craig Melvin made his guest hosting debut on Today With Jenna & Friends by admitting to Jenna Bush Hager that he had never actually watched her show, a confession Bush Hager found "rude." Melvin explained his lack of viewership was due to scheduling conflicts, as he typically finishes co-hosting the earlier hours of Today and is usually in transit during her segment. Despite this, Melvin praised Bush Hager for her adaptability in hosting the show alongside nearly 60 different celebrity guest co-hosts since Hoda Kotb's departure in January. The two shared a playful banter about the challenges of working with various co-hosts, with Melvin joking about being the "58th friend" to join her. Bush Hager acknowledged the unique format and credited the numerous guest co-hosts for keeping the show fresh. Melvin's appearance was part of a week of guest hosts filling in on Jenna & Friends.
