"Hey, y'all! Craig Melvin here from NBC News, from The Today Show," Craig began in the video.

Clad in a light blue dress shirt with striped red, blue, and white tie, Craig joked that "the unthinkable has happened".

He continued: "Some of the younger people in the office have convinced me to join the TikTok. Don't know what it is exactly, but I'm here for the tik, and I'm here for the tok."

The Today Show host then said he would post about "random stuff", including food, cooking, music, his kids, his wife, his office, and behind the scenes views at work.

"Yep, you caught me, I do have a bar in my office!" he said as he panned the camera around and showed off other parts of where he works at Rockefeller Center.

"Like I said, I'm here for the tik, I'm here for the tok."

He then signed off and ended the clip after showing viewers his office.

TODAY GONE WILD

Meanwhile, Craig and Sheinelle Jones were left shocked after their sleep doctor guest suggested that hot sleepers could sleep nude or with a pair of socks.

Craig, Sheinelle, and Jill Martin anchored the Today Show's Sleep On It segment on Friday.

Dr. Michael Breus, a clinical psychologist also known as The Sleep Doctor, stopped by.

Dr. Breus shared some things that can present as problems during the summer when trying to sleep.

He suggested trying cooling sheets and mattresses to solve the common issue of getting too hot during sleep.

"You also maintain that what you wear and what you sleep on can make a huge difference," Craig said after Dr. Breus made his suggestions.

Breus replied: "Absolutely, so in the nude or in pajamas? That's always one of the questions that I get asked. And for people who have trouble regulating their body temperature, I don't have a problem with you sleeping with no clothes on."

"Oh!" exclaimed Craig.

The doctor continued: "It actually can be quite beneficial. For some people though, sleeping with no clothes on, you freeze, right?"

"Yeah, and you're so exposed," Jill said.

Breus said: "Sometimes that can be a good thing. Sometimes that's not necessarily where you want to be."

"So what I tell people all the time, is that if you get really, really hot, if you're not comfortable sleeping without any clothes on, put a pair of socks on."

This garnered a hilarious response from Craig, Sheinelle, and Jill.

Sheinelle cackled: "So nude, and socks."

Craig said: "So totally naked? But just socks?"

Dr. Breus explained how heat dissipates through the feet.

"Dr. Breus, we just learned a lot. Perhaps too much," Craig joked.

CRAIG'S CLAP BACK

Meanwhile, Craig clapped back at co-host Sheinelle Jones during a food segment on the morning show.

On Today's Superfood Friday segment, nutrition, and health expert Joy Bauer joined the hosts to discuss healthy eating options.

Sheinelle introduced her as taking some of everyone's favorite foods and making them healthier by swapping in more nutritious options.

The first food swap was cucumbers and cheese instead of crackers and cheese.

Speaking to Craig offscreen, Sheinelle called him out.

"I need to fix Craig's face," she joked.

Sheinelle did a little dance as she waited for Craig to walk over.

He did so, stifling a laugh.

"Come over here," Joy said. "I want you to try this."

His expression said it all, but he said "My face is fine!" before complying.

Craig shook his head as he grinned and walked over.

"This is fun!" Craig said as he grabbed one of the snacks.

He started eating one of the cucumber and cheese creations.

"It's pretty good!" Craig said.

"It's pretty good," he repeated as he walked back off of the set.

The segment continued with additional snack options viewers could try.

CRAIG'S CONUNDRUM

Meanwhile, Craig ran off set to see a group of visiting penguins with a huge smile on his face.

On Wednesday's episode of the Today Show, Craig and crew got to hang out with some of the adorable birds.

The Today Show Instagram account shared a quick video clip showing Craig's love for the penguins.

The video was captioned: "Can we lower the temp in here for the penguins?"

In the video, Craig giddily ran as fast as he could to find the penguins off set.

He cooed at the animals and gave them loving looks.

He was one of the first people to interact with the birds when they were brought to the set.

It was hard to match Craig's voracious enthusiasm for the cute flightless birds, who thrive in cold temperatures.
