Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin Prepare for New Morning Scramble at NBC’s ‘Today’
Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin will kick off a new era at NBC's 'Today' just as the long-running morning program is beating 'Good Morning America'
“I worry about putting on a great show every day and making sure that our content is topical, relevant and helpful to the audience,” says Libby Leist, an executive vice president at NBC News. Producers have worked to ensure that viewers are familiar with all the “Today” personnel, which include Al Roker, Carson Daly, Dylan Dreyer, Sheinelle Jones, Jenna Bush Hager, Peter Alexander, Laura Jarrett and Willie Geist. Melvin and Guthrie expect to play a role in weaving more sports into “Today,” a reflection of not only NBC’s ties to the NFL, but the ones it will start to establish in the fall when it gains new rights to show NBA games as part of a new 11-year pact.
