Craig Melvin Out, Studio Intruder, Savannah Off | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Craig Melvin is stepping down from the Today show next week — not because of the wild studio intrusion that rocked the set yesterday, but because it’s been planned all along. Taylor Twellman, a major soccer figure, will take over his slot. Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie is taking a few weeks off to film a new Wordle-inspired game show. The intruder incident — where a man stormed the studio, hurled racial slurs at Craig, and demanded Al Roker — was swiftly contained by law enforcement. The show’s lineup is in flux, but everyone’s relieved the situation was handled safely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
