Craig started off the big announcement.

“By the way, before we head to break here, someone at this table may be up for an Emmy,” he said.

Sheinelle cracked up and said: “Right.”

“Not a news Emmy. No No,” Craig continued. “An acting Emmy.”

“If you were watching The Best Man: The Final Chapters over on Peacock, our friend Sheinelle Jones made quite the cameo in a very familiar role. Take a look.”

The show then jumped to a video of Sheinelle on the show, in which she played herself/news reporter.

“It’s New Years in New York. Possibly the most romantic time of the year. And everywhere you turn, folks are ready to gather, ready to dance, ready to celebrate. And maybe ready to fall in love,” her character said.

“Ohhhh. She sold it,” Craig said, as her scene ended.

“So, that’s you introing the whole thing?” Dylan asked.

“So, that has always been my dream,” Sheinelle said. “It was on my bucket list to be a reporter-.”

“You are!” Craig interrupted.

“A reporter in a movie or a series,” she corrected.

“Oh. Oh. Alright,” he said.

Sheinelle went on to say that anytime she met a director she would tell them that she was open to doing that role anytime one was needed.

SHEINELLE’S STAR TREATMENT

Dylan then joked that she is this big movie star now and received star treatment at work.

“So, is that what you thought happened because now you’re this big TV celebrity?” she asked.

“Yeah, you know what? I’ve finally made it. Momma, I made it,” Sheinelle joked.

“Yeah. You show up to work, unexpectantly. You’re receiving the star treatment. I mean look at what happened when Sheinelle arrived at work today. The cameras started flashing, lights were going off, she’s dressed in her Sherpa,” Dylan said.

Sheinelle laughed as the host continued.

A clip of Sheinelle getting out of her car and walking into the building in a big coat was seen.

“Is that you rolling into work?” Craig asked.

“Can I just tell you what really happened?” Sheinelle asked. “They were waiting for someone else.”

“So, I pull up this morning, looking rough like always in the morning, and our windows are tinted and I saw like the paparazzi and camera crew and I was like, ‘Oh, they’re going to be so disappointed.”

Sheinelle continued: “They thought I was Shania Twain.”

“Shania, Sheinelle,” Craig said, holding out his hands.

“So, I rolled down the window and it was this collective, ‘Ughh,'” Sheinelle laughed.

“That’s not true,” Craig said. “That was funny though.”

“I love that you rolled in in a Sherpa cape too.”

CHAOTIC CO-HOSTS

However, Sheinelle does not get the star treatment from her co-hosts.

Earlier this week, Sheinelle and Craig got into a heated argument on live TV.

To kick off the first Today 3rd Hour of the year, hosts Sheinelle, Craig and Dylan got to talking about their resolutions.

Most of the segment was spent on Sheinelle’s reveal, as it really struck a nerve with her colleagues.

“We’re all sitting on the edge of our seats,” Craig told her as everyone waited to hear her resolution.

The 44-year-old then shared: “Twenty-three is brought to you by the letter P.”

Immediately, Sheinelle’s co-hosts were confused by the mantra and shut it down.

“That is so awful,” Dylan told her harshly.

Jumping in with the teasing, Craig asked: “That’s not a motto, is it?”

Sheinelle tried to explain, saying: “So, I have so many Ps. But these are good–“

She was cut off by her colleagues continuing to laugh at her, and she blasted, “Stop yucking my motto!”

Eventually, Sheinelle continued: “All right, it’s all about my Ps. I’m gonna live my purpose and my passion.”

Despite the explanation, Craig and Dylan only continued to crack up, with the former soon admitting: “I gotta be honest with you. In years past, I’ve looked forward to your mantra.”

“I worked so hard,” Sheinelle insisted.

Craig blasted back: “You didn’t work hard enough!”

Continuing to tease her, the father-of-two told Sheinelle: “You know what else starts with P? Pathetic.”

Her mouth dropped open in shock at his rude comment, and he eventually just told her to “move on.”

When Sheinelle looked down at her large note cards to do just that, move on, she decided to get one last shot out at Craig.

“Let me go to my next card,” she said, before ripping off the top note card and furiously throwing it at Craig.

“You’re starting off the year with a bang here,” he told her in response to the action, before then deciding to add: “P for pretty mean.”
