Today Anchors Skirt GLP-1 Shot Question
24 Sep
Summary
- Anchors discussed GLP-1 injections for weight loss.
- One anchor asked if a co-host used the weight loss medication.
- No Today show hosts have publicly confirmed taking GLP-1s.
On the "3rd Hour of Today," anchors engaged in a lighthearted discussion about GLP-1 injections for weight loss, a topic frequently covered on the NBC morning show. Meteorologist Dylan Dreyer playfully inquired if her co-anchor Craig Melvin was using the medication, prompted by a segment on fast-food chains accommodating GLP-1 users. Melvin, who has recently shed pounds, neither confirmed nor denied his use of the drug.
Despite the show's extensive reporting on the GLP-1 trend, which now affects one in ten Americans, none of the "Today" anchors have publicly shared whether they personally use these weight loss medications. Jenna Bush Hager, in September 2025, had previously stated she had not taken the shot for personal reasons, including a desire to continue eating.
