Craig Melvin Joins NBC's 'Today' Show as New Co-Anchor

Craig Melvin has been appointed as the new co-anchor of NBC's 'Today' show, stepping into the role alongside Savannah Guthrie starting January 13, 2025. This change comes in the wake of Hoda Kotb's decision to leave the show after nearly two decades. Melvin, a veteran of NBC News, is known for his versatile coverage and charm, making him a popular choice for the position. His transition is expected to be smooth, continuing the show's tradition of delivering quality morning news. Meanwhile, 'Today with Jenna & Friends' will temporarily fill the 10 a.m. slot.
