One of his co-hosts gave a very brief explanation that satisfied all the questions.
Thursday, Today Co-host Craig Melvin, 44, appeared missing without a trace.
The television personality’s spot was replaced by Sheinelle Jones, who usually hosts Today 3rd hour with Melvin.
Hoda Kotb, 59, and Savannah Guthrie, 51, were in their usual spots at the desk, making the family desk suddenly all-female, a rare occasion for the morning broadcast.

Kotb and Guthrie did not mention Melvin’s absence. Instead, they gave Jones a warm welcome about 30 minutes into the segment before delving into the day’s latest headlines.
Craig’s return date on the Today show remained uncertain.
He Third hour today is another broadcast that Melvin hosts with co-hosts Jones, 45, Dylan Dreyer, 42, and Al Roker, 69.
Melvin was again absent from that portion of the show, however, Dreyer provided viewers with more information than previous hosts.
She, Roker, and Jones were gathered at the desk. As the hosts began the show, Dreyer introduced everyone before adding, “Craig is on a mission this morning.”
“That’s right,” Roker said.

Again, the hosts didn’t elaborate, but at least they started to point viewers in the right direction.
Following his brief return to the show, which ran from Monday to Wednesday, his absence has left some viewers scratching their heads in confusion.
Before Thursday, Melvin was away for a few days. He and Jones were not on the show on October 26.
Hosts Jacob Soboroff and Roker led the segment. Roker casually mentioned that Melvin was “on a mission” at the time, but again didn’t explain why. He also shared that Jones was “bad,” but stayed quiet about it.
Melvin returned to the show to celebrate Halloween with his co-hosts. He dressed up as “U Ca n’t Touch This” singer MC Hammer.

Melvin was also absent on Monday, October 23rd.
Although his absence was not mentioned, it was later learned that he and his family visited Sleepy Hollow, a charming town located in Westchester County, New York, the day before.
While his absence has been irregular, we’re sure Craig Melvin is fine and will be back before we know it!
