Dylan Dreyer’s recent hairstyle change became a talking point during the “Today” show’s broadcast on October 28. The meteorologist, renowned for her role on the show, garnered attention after shifting her hair part from the side to the middle, resulting in an enthusiastic reception from her colleagues.
Craig Melvin, who co-hosts the 3rd Hour of Today alongside Dreyer, initiated the discussion by acknowledging her fresh look. “Before we do anything else, I think we should take a moment and acknowledge Dylan Dreyer’s new haircut,” Melvin stated. However, Dreyer, 45, humbly responded, “I did not… guys, I parted my hair in the middle.” Her light-hearted dismissal of the change only added to the playful atmosphere of the segment.
Despite her attempts to downplay the transformation, Melvin, 47, insisted that it impressed the entire Studio 1A crew. “You came in and everyone in the studio said, ‘Dylan! Oh my god, your hair, it’s amazing,’” he observed. He went on to compliment her new style, assuring Dreyer, “It’s a great look. I like it.” This light banter highlighted the camaraderie shared among the show’s presenters.
Dreyer, a mother of three, explained that the change in her hairstyle took minimal effort. “It’s normally parted over here and I went over two inches. I’m a whole new person!” she jokingly stated, indicating just how simple the shift was. Her playful remarks were met with laughter from her colleagues, showcasing their collective enjoyment of each other’s company.
Al Roker, another prominent member of the “Today” team, chimed in with humour, saying, “I can’t do a part,” to which Dreyer quipped, “See, I can change my whole look very easily. It’s like Superman, you put on the glasses and you’re a whole new person.” The exchange illustrated the light-hearted nature of their interactions, which is a familiar tone within the show.
The recent hair transformations weren’t limited to Dreyer. Melvin has also been making headlines for embracing a new look by growing his hair out for the first time in three decades. “I like this look,” Dreyer confirmed earlier this month, further supporting Melvin’s decision. Her enthusiasm led him to express gratitude, revealing the supportive atmosphere among the “Today” show team.
The playful rapport extends beyond just hairstyles. The presenters are known for teasing one another, particularly following events that create a buzz. Just recently, Melvin was named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Morning TV Host in the magazine’s reader’s choice poll. This accolade invited further jovial banter among his co-stars.
During the broadcast, Dreyer couldn’t resist adding her own cheeky remark about Melvin’s newfound title. “I don’t know what to do standing so close to hotness,” she joked, to which Savannah Guthrie responded in agreement, stating, “Your hotness is what America needs right now!” This supportive teasing epitomised the light-hearted nature and closeness of the “Today” show family.
Melvin, seemingly unfazed by the attention, joked about the votes he received for the title. With a smile, he acknowledged, “Thanks to my mom and my wife who voted at least 100, 200 times I’m sure.” The camaraderie and fun exchanges among the anchors not only entertain viewers but also create an inviting atmosphere, further establishing the show as a beloved staple of morning television.
As the “Today” show continues to captivate audiences, moments such as Dreyer’s hairstyle reveal and Melvin’s recent title serve as reminders of the engaging and lively dynamics present on set. Viewers appreciate the authenticity brought forth by the co-hosts and their undeniable chemistry.
