While co-host Hoda Kotb was on vacation for most of the summer, Savannah Guthrie was joined by another NBC favorite, Craig Melvin. He joined “Today” as its weekday news anchor in 2018.

However, according to The U.S. Sun, Melvin wasn’t immune to the awkwardness that follows Guthrie in recent episodes of “Today.” When transitioning from news to weather, he made a “Sun’s out, guns out” joke about meteorologist Dylan Dreyer’s arms being visible. Guthrie interrupted him to point out that he didn’t mention her arms, “because my guns are like flabby spaghetti.” While he assured her this wasn’t true, the uncomfortable moment threw off the rhythm of the show.
