Craig
Melvin
 will
be
missing 
Hoda
Kotb
 today
and
everyday.


The
NBC
anchor—who
will
be
replacing
Hoda
after
her
final
appearance
on 
Today Jan.
10—shared
what
it’s
been
like
as
the
show
gets
ready
to
say
goodbye
to
an
icon
of
television.

“It’s
bittersweet,”
Craig
exclusively
told
E!
News
 at
Start

Today

launch
event
in
New
York
City
on
Jan.
7
. “Everyday
it’s
just
a
rollercoaster
of
emotions.”


The
45-year-old
shared
that
they
have
plenty
of
surprises
planned
for
Hoda,
who
he
called “the
heart
and
soul”
of 
Today,
adding,
 “I’m
really,
really,
really
sad
about
it.” 


But
it’ll
be
a
change
for
Craig,
too,
who
will
have
to “get
up
a
little
earlier”
for
his
new
role. 


And
despite
being
someone
who
doesn’t
do “a
lot
of
emotions,”
he
admitted
he’s “also
a
little
nervous
about
Monday,” 


In
fact,
Craig
has
been
feeling “excited
and
nervous
every
day
in
equal
parts,”
noting
that
he’s
actually
looking
forward
to
his
second
show
in
Hoda’s
spot
more
than
his
first.
