'Today' show's Dylan Dreyer asks Craig Melvin if he's on a GLP-1
During a September 24, 2026 segment of the Today Show, co-anchors Dylan Dreyer and Craig Melvin joked about using GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs, with Melvin acknowledging recent weight loss but not confirming medication use, while the show’s other hosts have also commented on the trend.
Dylan Dreyer is quick on her feet.
When Dreyer, 45, was asked to repeat an off-camera comment directed at fellow "Today" co-anchor Craig Melvin following a Thursday, Sept. 24, segment about how fast-food chains were catering to customers using GLP-1 injections, the meteorologist dutifully obliged.
"I asked if you do the shot," Dreyer said, referring to GLP-1 agonists. "I did. You thought I was being judgy. I was literally just asking because I feel like everyone I know is on it."
Melvin quipped: "I took it as maybe Craig should be on the shot."
Co-anchor Al Roker weighed in on the matter, pointing out that Melvin looked slimmer, which Melvin confirmed: "I have lost some weight. I know.”
Dreyer, who insisted she was "not being judgy," told Melvin, "I think you just assume I’m being judgy." The back-and-forth went on until Roker broke it up with a joke, saying, "Mommy and Daddy are fighting!"
Melvin did not confirm or deny whether his recent weight loss was a byproduct of using a GLP-1 medication, an FDA-approved drug used to help lower blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. These drugs are also used to help people lose weight.
Despite covering various stories surrounding the GLP-1 movement on the NBC morning show, none of the anchors have publicly spoken about taking the medication, according to People.
Jenna Bush Hager on GLP-1s: 'I haven’t done it because I want to eat'
In September 2025, "Today" co-host Jenna Bush Hager revealed she didn’t take the shot, noting, "food is so good. I mean I haven’t done it because I want to eat, you know? Among other reasons."
Bush Hager discussed the topic alongside actor Rosie Perez, who was complaining about how she looked in a photograph, shouting, "Oh my God, look at me! No, I look so plump."
The 44-year-old talk show co-host assured Perez that she did not look "so plump," insisting the photo was taken at "a bad angle."
"No, Jenna, Jenna, I ate like a pig the whole summer. I ate like a pig the whole summer," Perez insisted. "We rent a house every summer… my girlfriends come up, and I went, 'Is everybody on the needle?' Everybody was skinny, except me. I looked like a beached whale."

Bush Hager then asked Perez, "Is everyone on the needle?"
"Everyone’s on the needle. And no judgment, no judgment. I’m just scared. If I wasn’t scared, I’d be like," Perez said before miming taking an injection.
