It all happened while the ‘Today’ hosts discussed the People’s Sexiest Man Alive poll during Carson Daly’s PopStart segment.

Though Daly was absent from the NBC show, his seat was taken by Sheinelle Jones.

On a similar day, Melvin abruptly left the morning show midway after it was revealed that ‘Today’ Al Roker and Craig Melvin were nominated for People’s magazine.

His co-host Savannah Guthrie joked about his ‘sexiness’ on live TV adding, “Craig had to leave a little early. He said something about canvassing for votes door to door. He feels voters want to meet him personally and assess his sexiness.”
