Craig Melvin to Replace Hoda Kotb as ‘Today’ Co-Anchor

Craig Melvin will replace Hoda Kotb as the co-anchor of the flagship first two hours of NBC News' 'Today,' alongside Savannah Guthrie

NBC News will not announce a fill-in for Kotb’s other role, co-anchoring the 10 a.m. hour, which she does with Jenna Bush Hager and which is focused more on lifestyle topics. The NBCUniversal unit is expected to rely on a rotating series of co-hosts and will for the time being retitle the hour “Today with Jenna and Friends” until a permanent decision is made on talent. Hager is expected to work with a series of interesting guests, which could include both faces familiar to the program’s audience as well as celebrity surprises.
