Craig Melvin Says It ‘Stinks’ to Wake Up at 3:45 a.m. for ‘Today’ After Replacing Hoda Kotb
Craig Melvin opened up about waking up very early in the morning to make sure he gets to the Today studio on time for his new role as Hoda Kotb's replacement.
Craig Melvin is grateful for his new role on Today, but he admitted there’s one part of the job that seriously “stinks.” The TV personality opened up about his early wake-up time and getting used to his new schedule as Hoda Kotb ’s replacement. “I was like, ‘Are they forcing you out?’ She’s like, ‘No, Craig, I’m OK I’m leaving.’ I was legit stunned, so much so that after she left, I went back to her dressing room, and I was like, ‘Are you sure you’re OK?’ It takes a certain kind of courage to leave anything when you’re at the height of your game.” Hoda left the talk show on her own accord to focus on her family, with her final episode taking place on January 10.
