MSNBC host Craig Melvin signed off the Craig Melvin Report for the last time Thursday.
From now on, the host will spend the last year of his contract with NBC working on Today and NBC News. Melvin’s departure was announced earlier this month.
“This nearly decadelong stretch of hosting a cable news program has been a tremendous honor, and I’m so very thankful for the opportunity to really have had a front-row seat to so much history,” Melvin said. “Tumultuous campaigns, elections, natural disasters, far too manym mass shootings, and of course, a global pandemic.”

“So many of the stories I’ve covered here, and the people I’ve met on assignments, have moved me in myriad of ways,” he said. “Some days sad, angry, confused, but always hopeful.”
The veteran host choked up when mentioning his mother, father, and wife, thanking them for their support.
“And thank you for letting me into your homes, your businesses, and your vehicles for an hour every day,” Melvin said. “I appreciate you seeing the value in journalism, showcasing the plight of the least among us, simply asking questions, and waiting for answers. We need it now perhaps more than we ever have.”
