Craig Melvin Snubbed for Hoda Farewell: Insiders Speak

It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment in Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star-driven.

Craig Melvin from the Today Show got hit with some real shade behind the scenes.

Insiders say he wasn't just overlooked for Hota Colby's big farewell interview spot next to Savannah Guthrie, he wasn't even asked to join.

That move left him feeling iced out completely, especially since he's the official co-host.

Word is, Craig thought he'd locked in that position, fair and square after years grinding on the desk.

Hota stepped away from her seat, opening the door, but it slammed shut on him without a knock.

Sources close to the situation call it a straight-up major setback. Folks around him are buzzing with confusion and frustration.

They say Craig scratching his head, wondering why he got zero shot at the gig.

It's got everyone whispering that it just ain't fair, shaken up the vibe backstage.

This drama's rattle craved pretty good, stirring real worry among the team.

But Hota, the Today Show spokesperson fired back quick, claiming Craig was fully in the loop and cheering on Savannah sit down with Hota from the perfect cane.

Jump. As this bruise, keep an eye on how the show's chemistry shifts moving forward.

Loyal fans like Craig deserve their flowers, and this could ripple through the lineup.
