Lindsay Czarniak Joins Today Show as Guest Co-Host
Let me tell you, folks, something exciting happened on the Today show this week. The show welcomed a familiar and beloved face—Craig Melvin’s wife, Lindsay Czarniak! At 46 years old, Lindsay stepped in as a guest co-host, bringing her charm and wit to the morning lineup. It’s not every day you get to see a spouse step into the spotlight, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint.
In a fun and lighthearted Instagram post, Lindsay shared a photo from her day on the show alongside Craig and Today cohost Dylan Dreyer. She captioned the photo: “It was a lively way to start the week. Loved joining this crew (even if @theritamoreno made it clear who her favorite host was) thanks for having me! @todayshow #tv #love #family.” Talk about a family affair!
Rita Moreno Steals the Spotlight
Now, here’s where things got really interesting. Lindsay wasn’t the only star of the day. Rita Moreno, the legendary actress at 92 years young, joined the show as a guest. But guess what? Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones weren’t present for this segment, which made things even more special. Rita, ever the charmer, hilariously flirted with Craig right in front of Lindsay! And let’s be honest, it wasn’t the first time the Oscar-winning actress has thrown some playful flirtation Craig’s way.

During the segment, Rita said to Craig with a twinkle in her eye, “I’m laughing because the last time I was here, I was putting you on, being very sexy with you. And now this one here, this ringer is here. I can’t mess around with you.” Can you imagine how that must’ve felt for Lindsay? But hey, it’s all in good fun, right?
Rita Moreno Promotes Her New Film
Rita Moreno wasn’t just there to flirt—she also had some exciting news to share. The iconic West Side Story actress was promoting her latest film, The Prank. She didn’t stop there. Rita playfully scooted Dylan Dreyer, 42, out of her seat so she could get closer to Craig. With a wink and a smile, she said, “Hi, cutie.” Can you blame her? Craig is a pretty charismatic guy.
Craig referenced a previous segment from May 2023 when he and Rita first shared some playful banter on the show. He joked, “For folks who don’t know, we have a history.” It’s moments like these that remind us why we love the Today show. The chemistry and camaraderie between the hosts and guests make for some unforgettable moments.
Audience Loves the Show’s Dynamic Duo
Viewers absolutely loved the chemistry between Craig and Rita. They couldn’t get enough of the playful banter and the unexpected twist of having Lindsay join the show. One fan commented on Lindsay’s Instagram post, saying, “I love seeing you on the Today Show! You should have a full-time position there! The whole Rita and Craig situation made me laugh. You were such a good sport.”
Another fan chimed in, saying, “Loved the show! You must join them again soon! I was laughing how Rita made Craig blush. She is a beautiful spunky lady.” It’s moments like these that remind us why we love the Today show. It’s not just about the news; it’s about the connection and laughter we share with the hosts and guests.
Lindsay’s Previous Stints on the Show
This wasn’t the first time Lindsay, who shares two children, Delano and Sybil, with Craig, has filled in on the show. Back in April 2023, the Fox Sports reporter joined Craig and Al Roker, 69, as a guest cohost on Today. At that time, Sheinelle Jones, 45, and Dylan Dreyer, 42, were absent from the studio. Interestingly, that appearance happened to coincide with the anniversary of the day Craig proposed to Lindsay. Talk about a memorable day!

It’s moments like these that remind us why we love the Today show. It’s more than just a morning news program; it’s a place where real-life love stories unfold right before our eyes.
