On November 3, while guest co-hosting the fourth hour of Today with Jenna Bush Hager, Craig Melvin revealed a surprising fact about his familiarity with the show.
As they prepared to discuss trending topics, Craig confessed to Jenna, “You know, I've never seen [Today With Jenna and Friends].” This revelation left Jenna stunned.
"That is so rude!" Jenna exclaimed, clearly surprised by Craig's admission.
She even questioned the moment, “Did you just hear him say he's never watched the show?”
Craig explained he usually doesn’t stay in Studio 1A after his segment because he co-anchors the first three hours alongside Savannah Guthrie.
“I'm usually in transit, but this is nice,” he told Jenna to justify why he hasn’t watched the later hour.
Jenna responded with humor, “Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour.” Craig acknowledged this before admitting, “I could probably watch some of it.”
Despite not having seen the show, Craig expressed awareness of Jenna's influence and impact on the segment.
Craig Melvin's candid admission about never watching “Today With Jenna and Friends” surprised Jenna Bush Hager but highlighted his busy schedule and respect for Jenna's role.
