Today's Dylan Dreyer got into a lively discussion with Craig Melvin about a sensitive topic during the show on September 24.
Emilie Ikeda reported on a growing trend among fast food franchises to create healthier and portion-controlled options that focus on protein intake for active GLP-1 users.
Al Roker commented to Dylan: "You wanna mention what you asked Craig during the [commercial break]?"
Dylan asked Craig: "I asked if you do the shot…" Craig emphasized: "You asked if I was on the shot," as Dylan confirmed: "I did."
Dylan defended herself, explaining: "You thought I was being judgy. I was literally just asking cause I feel like everyone I know is on it."
Craig quipped: "I took it as, 'maybe Craig should be on the shot.'"
Al interjected, attempting to cool down the tension, stating: "When in fact you've lost some weight."
Craig admitted: "I have lost weight. But you know, I mean…," as he raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Dylan expressed: "I was not being judgy," as Craig's jaw dropped in shock. Emilie joked: "Suggesting or asking?"
Dylan shared: "I think you just assumed I am judgy." Craig yelled: "Assume! I sit next to you every day…for years."
Al attempted to once again switch gears, adding: "Thank you Emilie." Dylan revealed: "I just make comments."
Al once again tried to change the topic, continuing: "Emilie, thank you so much…" Emilie neutrally commented: "I'm just gonna sit here…"
Al joked: "Mommy and daddy are fighting. It's an exciting morning because," as he blurted out laughing out of awkwardness.
He then announced the new season of Dylan's podcast, meanwhile, Craig took a sip of his coffee.
None of the Today stars have publicly disclosed that they have used or are actively using GLP-1s.
Last year, Jenna Bush Hager discussed the same hot topic on her former show, Today with Jenna & Friends, with her guest co-host at the time, Rosie Perez.
Rosie openly revealed her insecurities pertaining to her weight, and revealed that most of her friends were on the shot, explaining: "Everyone's on the needle! And no judgement, no judgement. I'm just scared…If I wasn't scared, I'd be [on it too]."
Jenna explained why she wasn't on it, sharing: "Food is so good! I mean I haven't done it because I want to eat, you know? Among other reasons."
