Craig Melvin surprised co-host Jenna Bush Hager with a shocking revelation during the November 3 episode of Today With Jenna and Friends. While preparing to discuss trending topics, Craig admitted he had never actually seen the set of Jenna's show before that moment.
"You know, I've never seen [Today With Jenna and Friends]," Craig told Jenna, according to People.
Jenna was visibly stunned and responded, "That is so rude!" She expressed surprise, asking others if they had just heard his admission.
Craig clarified that his schedule usually prevents him from staying in Studio 1A after his earlier segments, as he co-anchors the first three hours of the NBC morning show with Savannah Guthrie.
"I'm usually in transit, but this is nice," Craig explained.
Jenna pointed out the length of her show, noting, "Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour." Craig acknowledged this and admitted he could probably watch some of it.
Though Craig hasn’t watched an episode fully, he recognizes the influence Jenna has made on the program and respects her contribution.
Craig Melvin’s surprising admission about never having seen Jenna Bush Hager’s show reveals the busy dynamics of co-hosting and their mutual respect despite unusual circumstances.
