Every morning, millions of Americans start their day with Craig Melvin. One of the hosts of the third hour of NBC’s "Today" show, Melvin has appeared alongside Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Carson Daly. Melvin in particular has been open about his friendship with Roker, crediting it for helping him get through some of his “darkest moments.” This year, Melvin published what he describes as “a love letter to fatherhood:” a picture book called “I’m Proud of You” that illustrates his relationship with his two kids, Delano and Sybil. “I didn’t even realize some of the emotions I’m capable of having until I had my own children,” he told Garden & Gun magazine earlier this year. “I wanted to write a book that helped all the dads out there.”
