No one does Craig Melvin like Craig Melvin. But Jo Koy is giving him a run for his money.
The comedian sent Studio 1A into belly-cramping laughter on June 10 when he impersonated Craig during the 3rd hour of TODAY.
In an earlier segment of the show, TODAY contributor Ally Love introduced Craig to Dude Wipes, a brand of disposable cloths that she said can be used “in lieu of the shower.”
Later, Koy had some fun doing an impression of Craig acting perplexed by the product.
“We’re still tripping on the Dude Wipes thing. ‘I thought it was for your bum!’ This is Craig, ‘I thought it was for your bum!’” Koy said in a deep, raspy voice, which immediately caused Craig, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer to burst out laughing.
“You do a good Craig!” Craig told Koy, who responded, “I know I do.”
Dylan said of the impression, “You kind of sound like Cookie Monster.”
Koy continued his impression, “You took a shower with Dude Wipes? I use a shower. Am I the only one crazy here? What is going on?”
Discussing his Netflix comedy special, “Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn,” Dylan asked Koy to explain the new “zaddy” era he joked about in his set. (A “zaddy” is an attractive older guy.)
“Now I’m in that position, I’m older, I’m single,” he said.
Sheinelle then asked, “So ‘zaddy’ like, ‘Ohh zaddy?’”
Craig jumped in: “Why do you have to say it like that? That is nasty the way you said it!”
As they all erupted into laughter again, Koy came to Sheinelle’s defense: “Actually, I like the way she said it. So if you don’t mind, Craig, let her say
