Today Show: Craig Melvin Celebrated, Sam Heughan Visits (NBC, Monday, January 13, 2025)

The Today Show

It’s Monday, and first up, the Today Show will celebrate one of their own, Craig Melvin. Expect the usual blend of retrospective clips and warm anecdotes from colleagues, probably enough to induce a slight eye-roll but ultimately harmless.

For those less interested in on-air personalities, the “TODAY’s Consumer” segment might offer some practical value. They’ll be doling out advice on saving money—always a welcome topic in these inflationary times.

Later, things take a more serious turn when Dr. Cedrek McFadden joins the show to discuss artificial intelligence in healthcare. This should be worth watching, provided they avoid the usual hype and focus on actual applications and potential pitfalls.

Finally, for the foodies in the audience, Today is taking a trip to Nafsi Soul Food Restaurant in Chicago. Hopefully, they’ll go beyond the standard food porn and explore the restaurant’s story and its connection to the community.

Also on tap for Monday: Outlander star Sam Heughan will be in the studio, presumably to promote the upcoming Outlander season 7 finale. Keila Shaheen will discuss her new book, “The Book of Shadow Work,” and James McMillian will offer advice in the “Start TODAY” segment.
