Craig Melvin, the University of South Carolina alumnus, officially starts as co-anchor on the ‘Today’ Show this Monday, succeeding Hoda Kotb. Melvin expressed his mixed feelings about stepping into this prominent role, stating, “I’m anxious and nervous about following Hoda. It is a monumental task, and she’s been exceptional as a co-anchor.” Hoda Kotb herself shared a heartfelt message while addressing her departure from the co-anchor position, saying, “I’m so proud of all the work we’ve done together, and I can’t wait to see what Craig will bring to the table.” Despite the changes, both are committed to maintaining the show’s vibrant spirit and connection with viewers. Melvin has been part of the NBC family for over a decade, hosting the weekend edition of the ‘Today’ Show and serving as a news anchor at NBC News. The transition comes as the morning show continues to adapt to the evolving media landscape, aiming to retain its leading status among daytime television.
