Jenna Bush Hager had a humorous reaction when Today anchor and guest co-host on Jenna & Friends, Craig Melvin, confessed he has never watched her show—and his reason was understandable.
Craig Melvin’s Surprising Confession
During the November 3 episode, Craig Melvin, 46, complimented the studio set, saying,
“This is a nice set. You know, I’ve never seen the show.”Jenna, 43, mother of Mila (12), Poppy (10), and Hal (6), was taken aback and responded,
“That is so rude! Did you just hear him say he’s never watched the show?”
Explanation and Response
Craig, who joined the morning show in 2018 and recently replaced Hoda Kotb to co-anchor the main Today show slot with Savannah Guthrie, explained he hasn’t watched Jenna’s segment because he is usually in transit during that hour. Jenna pointed out that the show runs for a full hour, prompting Craig to consider,
“I know, I could probably watch some of it.”
First Time Co-Hosting
This episode marked Craig’s first time co-hosting the fourth hour with Jenna, who has appeared as a guest on earlier Today show segments over the years.
