Craig Melvin started his first day as an official co-anchor on the Today show with an emotional surprise from his family. His wife Lindsay Czarniak, and their two kids, Delano and Sybil, walked out of their bedrooms to greet him on set, accompanied by his parents and brother.
The surprise was faked, but Melvin was visibly moved. “When I left this morning, you were all in bed!” he exclaimed. His 10-year-old son Delano, who was dressed in a matching navy suit, played it cool despite the excitement.
As the show began, Melvin shared heartfelt moments with his family. His daughter Sybil read a sweet note she wrote about him, expressing how much her dad loves to play and watch TV together. The display of love and appreciation brought tears to Melvin’s eyes.
Melvin took over for Hoda Kotb on Friday, January 10th, marking the start of a new chapter in his career as a Today co-anchor. His family’s surprise visit made it an unforgettable first day.
