Craig, 44, Sheinelle, 45, and their co-host, Peter Alexander, 46, sat down with Senior Consumer Investigative Correspondent Vicky Nguyen, 44, who explained how the AI chatbox, ChatGPT, can help plan getaways.
Vicky raved about the platform, insisting that it makes travel arrangements much easier and is simple to use.
Sheinelle agreed, mentioning that she used the site for her recent trip to Panama, and it couldn’t have gone any smoother.
“[ChatGPT] planned our Spring Break in Panama. Down to which day you should surf and where you should go ziplining.”
SURFER GIRL
However, not everyone on the panel was convinced that Sheinelle does such adventurous activities as Peter commented on her unbeknownst love of surfing.
“[The] bigger question is: You surf?” Peter asked, causing Craig to break out into laughter.
Craig turned to his colleague and confirmed: “She does not.”
Peter joked: “Now that’s a video I want to see!”
Sheinelle seemed embarrassed by the remark as she appeared to blush and slouch down in her chair.
“We’re out of time!” she told the cameras, pleading for the segment to end.
SHEINELLE’S BLUNDER
Today viewers often see Sheinelle and Craig’s silly banter on the show, as Craig mocked his co-host in another live moment just days earlier.
It occurred while Sheinelle was introducing a topic about an Independence Day hot dog eating competition.
She explained: “The rain may have postponed the men’s competition in Nathan’s Fourth of July hot dog eating contest…”
However, Sheinelle over-emphasized the word “fourth” and raised her hand to show off four fingers.
Her co-host, Dylan Dreyer, 41, immediately looked at her in confusion and laughed loudly after a moment of silence.
Sheinelle realized what she’d done and joined in with the laughter while Craig sat between them, shaking his head slowly.
Sheinelle begged: “Leave me alone,” before trying to continue speaking.
Craig then looked at the camera and mockingly raised four fingers to imitate Sheinelle.
His TV co-star playfully raised her arms and moved them towards him just before the camera cut to the competition.
