A live‑TV slip from Craig Melvin left the “TODAY” studio buzzing Wednesday morning.
During the April 8 broadcast, the anchor unexpectedly revealed that Jenna Bush Hager will appear in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” a detail that clearly wasn’t meant to be shared just yet.
While the co-hosts were discussing the excitement around the upcoming sequel, Melvin casually dropped, “By the way, you know how that movie’s going to be good? You know how I can tell? JBH is in it!”
The camera immediately cut to Bush Hager, who stared back in disbelief, her mouth open as she tried to process what had just happened.
“I don’t know that you were supposed to drop that bomb, but if you’re …” she said, still stunned.
Savannah Guthrie, newly returned to the show after an extended absence following the disappearance of her mother, jumped in with a laugh: “This is live. You cannot tell Craig anything!”
Melvin, looking genuinely confused, insisted, “I thought it was common knowledge?” which led Al Roker to fire back, “It is now!”
From there, the moment only grew funnier as Melvin attempted to walk it back, saying, “Cut it out for the other feeds! Sorry about that, JBH,” while Guthrie teased, “Why don’t you read my journal while you’re at it?”
When asked if he had any other secrets to spill, Melvin simply shrugged: “My bad!”
Bush Hager’s role in “The Devil Wears Prada 2” remains unclear. She may have hinted at a possible involvement when she dressed up as Anna Wintour for Halloween last year.
The film reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, alongside new cast members including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux and Lucy Liu. This time, the story reportedly follows Miranda Priestly as she navigates the challenges facing traditional magazine publishing in a digital‑first era.
The film arrives in theaters on May 1, nearly 20 years after the original premiered in June 2006.
