TODAY’s Craig Melvin has been caught with a mouthful of food after the show came back from commercial break.
Nutrition and health expert Joy Bauer was on hand on the Today Show to talk about superfood swaps on Superfood Friday.

Dylan Dreyer introduced Joy during the part of the show where the hosts were presented with different, healthy food swaps.
These healthier options would make regular dishes much better for you with fewer calories and saturated fat.
Among those were pancakes and syrup swapped for berries and whipped cream and chicken wraps swapped for lettuce instead of tortillas.
Craig, Dylan, and Sheinelle Jones were on hand to try everything.
The hosts chowed down, especially Craig.
After this part of the show, the hosts went to commercial.
Finally, it was time for them to return.
“My mouth is full,” Craig tried to say quietly as the show came back from commercial.

Sheinelle asked “Do you want us to talk for you?”
He covered his mouth and nodded.
Sheinelle grinned at the camera while Dylan chided him.
“Well, you should have gone with the lettuce wraps,” she cracked.
Craig continued to chew as the women spoke for him and started wrapping up the show.
JOKER ROKER
Meanwhile, Craig and Dylan Dreyer screamed on live TV on Thursday’s show.
They were surprised when their co-host, Al Roker, showed up on set to surprise them after being out due to surgery.
Craig, Dylan, and Sheinelle Jones were leading a segment on wine, as it was National Wine Day.
Sheinelle stood to the side of the table and talked as Craig and Dylan stood behind it and sampled the products.
“Up next, the woman who may change the way you think about work/life balance. Her strategy-,” Sheinelle got cut off as Craig screamed and threw his hands up.
Sheinelle turned her head to her co-hosts and gave a frightened look.

Dylan put down her wine glass and screamed as well.
Sheinelle began to walk off set as Al walked on.
Al cracked up as he walked to Dylan while holding a cane.
They all gave him hugs and had surprised expressions on their face.
“What’s up, brother? Good to see you,” Craig told him.
“We’re still on the air,” Sheinelle realized. “We’ll be right back. A little reunion.”
BIG RETURN
On Wednesday’ show, Al appeared via Zoom to talk to his Today co-hosts.
He gave them an update on how he was feeling after the surgery.
When the anchors made contact with Al, they asked how he was doing to kick off the conversation.
“I am doing fine! It’s good to see all of you,” Al said as he chatted with the anchors from home.
Al continued: “I’m gonna be honest, I’ve had a number of body replacements. This one has been the toughest one yet, because they had to take out the old one, which had some complications, and then put in a new one.”
The beloved anchor then showed an X-ray of his knee on his phone to let everyone at the Today Show have a look.
“They really had to do a lot of work to get the old hardware out and the new hardware in, plus there’s a titanium cone in there for bone to grow around.”
Dylan asked Al if his physical therapy had him feeling “good”.
Al said that when his nerve block ended, he “started cooking” — but his doctor did not want him doing that.
“The thing is to stay off the knee and to ice and elevate,” Al said.
“I just started outpatient physical therapy,” he admitted.
He’s not quite completely recovered yet, but he’s well on his way.
AL’S OK
Al gave fans an update on his surgery the day after it happened.
He took a photo of the sunrise from his hospital room.
Al paired it with the song Lovely Day by Bill Withers.
And to let everyone know how he was doing, the host captioned his post: “Feeling grateful and #hopeful on this #firstday with my #newknee Who knew?”
Fans sent him well-wishes in the comments.
It is not clear how long Al will be out for.
