Craig Melvin's Surprising Confession on 'Today With Jenna and Friends'
Craig Melvin recently made a surprising admission about his co-host Jenna Bush Hager that caught her completely off guard.

The Unexpected Revelation
"You know, I've never seen [Today With Jenna and Friends]," Craig told Jenna, according to People.
Jenna was stunned and responded in disbelief, "That is so rude!" She then asked those present, "Did you just hear him say he's never watched the show?"
Craig's Explanation
Craig explained that his focus is usually on co-anchoring the first three hours of the NBC morning series alongside Savannah Guthrie, so he doesn’t linger in Studio 1A afterward.
"I'm usually in transit, but this is nice," Craig said in response to Jenna’s reaction.
Jenna pointed out the show’s length:
"Here's the thing about it ... it's a full hour."
Craig acknowledged this before admitting, "I could probably watch some of it."
Awareness Despite Lack of Viewing
