Craig was on the show for most of Wednesday.

The last segment he was in was him and his co-hosts getting flu shots around one hour and 40 minutes in.

When the show came back from commercial, Savannah Guthrie led the Deals & Steals segment.

Today then came back from another commercial and just Savannah, Sheinelle Jones, and Al Roker were there.

The show played the song S3xyBack by Justin Timberlake and Al said: “Craig left. Oh well.”

“Yeah. He had to go on an assignment,” Sheinelle confirmed.

When Savannah came in about two minutes later, she joked as to where her co-host was.

“Craig had to leave a little early,” she said. “He said something about canvasing for votes door to door.”

Craig is up for S3xist Morning Host, alongside GMA’s George Stephanopoulos, CBS Mornings’ Nate Burleson, and Live’s Mark Consuelos.

“He feels voters want to meet him personally and assess his s3xiness,” Savannah continued.

Sheinelle told viewers that they should vote.

‘TOO S3XY’

Because Craig left Today early, it meant that he didn’t take part in The Third Hour on Wednesday.

That left just Al, Sheinelle, and Dylan Dreyer at the desk.

“Craig had to leave a little bit early for an assignment,” Al explained.

“He’s too s3xy?” Dylan asked.

The hosts laughed as Al said: “Well, we’ll get into that.”

Viewers can vote for their favorite morning host on PEOPLE.com.

The winners will be revealed on November 8.

Al is also up for S3xiest Grandfather against Pierce Brosnan, Kurt Russell, and Michael Douglas.

MORNING MAYHEM

Al abruptly left the morning show on Monday.

That morning, the 69-year-old was on set to give the weather report for the day around 10 minutes into the show.

He discussed some of the showers that were heading into the area after Hoda Kotb and Savannah threw it over to him.

Later in the show, he was outside at Today show plaza as well.

But when it came time for all the hosts to sit on the couch where they usually report from, Craig told viewers Al was out on assignment.

Al returned the next day.
