NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: NBC’s ‘Today’ host Craig Melvin’s wife Lindsay Czarniak has recently revealed her husband’s whereabouts in a new pic as he was reportedly seen missing from Wednesday, July 19 broadcast. The couple is seemingly enjoying their family vacations on a beach.

The TV personality was nowhere to be found during a recent ‘Today’ episode. Craig Melvin has been frequently reported to be ditching his duties on the morning show. Earlier this week, Melvin left his seat during an on-air segment after co-host Al Roker threw shade at him for his baffling behavior. It all went down during a ‘Today 3rd Hour’ segment when host Dylan Dreyer, Roker, Sheinelle Jones, and Melvin were introducing the segment and welcomed a fitness contributor, Stephanie Mansour. However, this time, his absence was marked by his wife Lindsay, who revealed the reason through an Instagram post.
