Dylan Dreyer was caught off guard during the May 22 episode of the Today Show when guest musician Jack Antonoff, from the band Bleachers, jokingly questioned her hosting skills. Following her weather report, Antonoff remarked, 'I like the weather stuff. I like when you mess up and it goes viral, you didn't do it.'
Dreyer quickly defended herself, replying, 'I did not mess up, I did not want that to go viral.' Co-star Laura Jarrett added, 'She's a pro.' Antonoff continued to probe, asking Dreyer if she thinks about messing up, noting that his favourite content is news clips that go viral.
Antonoff then turned to Craig Melvin, asking if he had experienced many live on-air moments that later went viral. Melvin deflected, saying, 'I have many, we should probably go to the weather.'
Dreyer, who typically hosts the Third Hour of Today, was filling in for Carson Daly during the Second Hour. She had to deliver the Pop Start roundup, prompting Melvin to tease, 'I'm going to talk for a few seconds so you can catch your breath and get ready for Pop Start.' Jarrett added, 'She's been doing stretches.' Dreyer quipped, 'I know, I wish Carson was here as there's a lot of music.'
Aside from her role as an NBC anchor, Dreyer hosts her own podcast, The Parent Chat with Dylan Dreyer, in conjunction with Today. The podcast focuses on parenting advice and features experts and fellow working mothers.
Craig Melvin joined as a regular host on the Today Show in January 2025 following Hoda Kotb's departure, marking a significant career milestone.
