Meanwhile TV viewers have been delighted to see a lot more of Craig on their screens. Craig Melvin has said it was an “honor” to be asked to step in and replace Hoda Kotb on the Today show.
Hoda stepped down in January after almost 18 years on the program, having made the decision to leave when she turned 60 last summer. Craig had been working as a news anchor for Today and co-hosted the show’s third hour.
He now appears alongside Savannah Guthrie in the mornings and has opened up about how it’s going so far. “There are so few truly venerable institutions left in television, and being part of one isn’t something I take lightly. It’s the professional honor of a lifetime,” he gushed.
Craig said he never thought he would make it to the popular morning segment. “But then one day, I got the call that Hoda Kotb was leaving, and I just thought, ‘Wow, this might actually be happening,'” he revealed.
