Announcing the presenter shakeup, his co-host Savannah told viewers: “We’ve got some special news!
“After Mike gets his fill of golf, all next week he’s going to join us right here in Studio 1A.
“Craig’s going on Easter break with his kids.”
She continued: “Tirico is going to fill in and host!”
Appearing on screen, Mike said: “I know I was so excited about it and then I just watched Jon Hamm’s live audition and now I’m out. I can’t do this!
“But no, Melvin showed he can host the Olympics when I was back and forth, so figure if we try to go for even a trade here I’m looking forward to being with ya’ll next week.”
Savannah replied: “It’s all in the family, we love it.”
In January, Craig stepped into Hoda’s shoes following her departure.
Hoda wrote a letter to staff sharing her decision to leave, with the host departing the show last week once and for allWhile hosting his first show after Hoda’s departure, Craig learned that his former co-host had a pre-recorded message for his first day.
“I’m moving forward, so reach back your hand. Grab the baton, your world will expand,” the letter said as it was read aloud.
“The adventures are endless, the people so dear. Great memories await, year after year.
“Day One! You are ready surrounded by love. Your team is the kind you can only dream of.”
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Craig has disappeared from Today –Â with the anchor replaced just one month after he started hosting full time.
