“Catch Craig Melvin as the co-anchor of the @todayshow, and you may hear a fellow host call him ‘Mr. Southern Living,'” the update began. “It’s an apt moniker for the Columbia, South Carolina-born journalist, who was raised in a household where the magazine came ‘third or fourth to the Holy Bible,’ he says.”
The announcement continued: “In a full-circle moment, Craig’s new column will debut on newsstands tomorrow in our June/July issue! Join us at the link in our profile to read our conversation with our newest columnist and learn the one Southern tradition he’ll never give up.”

In the comments, Melvin’s Instagram followers reacted to the exciting news.
One fan declared of his new Southern Living column, “We are so proud of him!!! He makes South Carolina proud!!!!”
Another echoed, “We love you Craig so proud of our SC man 😍.”
Someone else agreed, writing, “As a fellow South Carolinian, I’m so proud of Craig.”
These days, Melvin is one busy man. In addition to his Today duties, the journalist must balance time with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, and their two kids, Delano and Sybil.
How does it do it all?
