Craig Melvin is feeling the love from his Today family.
After it was announced that the veteran journalist would join Savannah Guthrie as co-anchor of Today, following Hoda Kotb’s retirement in January, Craig was met with love from his colleagues.
“The larger staff found out this morning and people broke into applause” Savannah said during the Nov. 14 show while on the couch with Craig, Hoda, Jenna Bush Hager, Carson Daly and Sheinelle Jones. “This is one of the most popular decisions NBC news has ever made.”
Hoda, who revealed that her last day would be Jan. 10, gushed over Craig’s moment, which she believes he has been ready for.
“You were made for this job,” she told him. “You were literally made for this job you are that kind of good. You have all the things that this job needs, you’re the right person for it.”
And while Al Roker was missing from the newscast, he appeared via a video call to celebrate with the team.
