Craig Melvin Steps In as New 'Today' Co-Anchor, Replacing Hoda Kotb
Craig Melvin will replace Hoda Kotb as co-anchor of NBC's 'Today' show, joining Savannah Guthrie for the 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. segment. Kotb is stepping down to spend more time with her children, and her last day will be January 10. Melvin, a long-time NBC anchor, is expected to transition smoothly into the role. The 10 a.m. hour, previously co-hosted by Kotb, will temporarily be titled 'Today with Jenna and Friends' with rotating co-hosts.
