Dylan Dreyer was not replaced on the Today Show! She is still working at NBC and continues to be a popular host on the program.
What Really Happened?
Many people got confused about changes on the Today Show. The big news was actually about Hoda Kotb leaving the show, not Dylan Dreyer. Here’s what really happened:
Hoda Kotb left the Today Show in January 2025 after working there for almost 20 years. She wanted to spend more time with her two daughters. Her last day was January 10, 2025.
Craig Melvin replaced Hoda Kotb as the new co-anchor. He started his new job on January 13, 2025, and now works alongside Savannah Guthrie in the morning hours.
Dylan Dreyer’s Current Job
Dylan Dreyer still has several important jobs at NBC:
- She co-hosts the 3rd Hour of Today with Al Roker, Craig Melvin, and Sheinelle Jones
- She works as a weather reporter for the main Today Show
- She hosts her own nature show called “Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer” on weekends
- She sometimes fills in for other hosts when they are away
“Dylan is on assignment, well technically, well she is on assignment,” her co-host Craig Melvin said when she was away filming her nature show.
Why People Got Confused
People might have thought Dylan was leaving because:
- She sometimes misses shows when filming her nature program in places like Alaska
- Other hosts fill in for her when she travels for work
- There were many changes happening on the Today Show at the same time
Dylan’s Personal Life Changes
While Dylan kept her job, she did have some personal changes in 2025. She and her husband Brian decided to separate after 13 years of marriage. They have three sons together and want to stay friends.
“We began as friends, and we will remain the closest of friends. Most importantly, we will continue to co-parent our three wonderful boys together with nothing but love and respect for one another,” Dylan shared.
The Real Replacement Story
The person who actually got replaced was Hoda Kotb, not Dylan Dreyer. Craig Melvin took over Hoda’s job because:
- He had been working at NBC for 14 years
- He already co-hosted the 3rd Hour of Today
- Everyone at NBC was excited about his promotion
“Craig, you are made for this job. You were literally made for this job. You are that kind of good,” Hoda told Craig when he got the new position.
What This Means for Viewers
For people who watch the Today Show:
- Dylan Dreyer is still there doing weather and hosting the 3rd Hour
- Craig Melvin now co-hosts the main morning show with Savannah Guthrie
- The show continues with mostly the same beloved hosts
Dylan Dreyer remains an important part of the Today Show family. She brings sunshine to viewers’ mornings with her weather reports and her cheerful personality. While other changes happened around her, Dylan stayed in her job and continues to be loved by fans across America.
