Today show’s Craig Melvin is facing backlash from viewers after a recent segment in which he addressed co-host Dylan Dreyer with a nickname that many found condescending.
Melvin, known for his playful banter with his colleagues, referred to Dreyer as “Silly Dilly” during a live broadcast. However, what was intended to be lighthearted and fun has left many viewers upset, with some claiming that it undermines Dreyer’s professionalism.
The backlash grew as viewers took to social media, criticizing Melvin for treating Dreyer “like she’s 2.”
Fans pointed out that while the pair often shares a fun dynamic on air, the nickname crossed a line and appeared dismissive of Dreyer’s standing as a respected and seasoned television personality.
Dreyer, who is beloved by audiences for her warm and engaging presence, has not publicly responded to the criticism, but fans have rallied in support of her.
The incident highlights the delicate balance between camaraderie and professionalism on live television.
While some viewers may have enjoyed the playful moment, others felt it was inappropriate for Melvin to use such a nickname, especially given Dreyer’s stature as a co-host on one of the nation’s most-watched morning shows.
Dreyer is a meteorologist for NBC News on Weekend Today Show
and also appears on the show during the week.
