To close out the week, the Friday, June 20 edition of The Today Show is leaning into big music and big travel, beginning at 7:00 AM ET on NBC. The main attraction is a live performance from Machine Gun Kelly, who will take the stage on the plaza as part of the ongoing Citi Concert Series.
The 7-9 AM block will also continue the show’s week-long focus on the 50th anniversary of Jaws. Following Thursday’s look back at the film’s production, this segment will examine the movie’s surprising legacy in sparking shark research and conservation efforts. It’s an interesting follow-up that explores the real-world impact of the fictional story. The show will also feature its “Buddy Up” segment.
For the 9-10 AM hour, the program heads north as it broadcasts from Anchorage, Alaska. This travel-focused block will explore conservation initiatives across the state, giving a glimpse into the local environment. Olympian Kikkan Randall is slated for a “Catching Up With…” interview, while Jenn Jolly presents “Anchorage Fun Finds,” a guide to local attractions. To complete the Alaskan experience, a “Taste of Anchorage” segment will feature local cuisine.
