The People’s Sexiest Man Alive Readers’ Choice poll is back, and TODAY’s own Craig Melvin is among the contestants.
The co-host is among the standout nominees in the “hotter than morning coffee” category for morning show personalities, competing with Michael Strahan, Gio Benitez and Vladimir Duthiers.
The TODAY team celebrated the September 30 news with a cup of coffee.
“Am I being a bum right now?” Craig talked about his candidacy.
“Let’s vote!” Jenna Bush Hager said.
“Vote early and often,” interjected Savannah Guthrie.
“Try to fill out the ballot,” Carson Daly said.
Voting in the survey will continue until October 12. The results will be announced on October 20. Readers can vote in the poll here.
Other Readers’ Choice survey categories for 2026 include “sexiest fake hockey player,” “sexiest cat dad” and “sexiest period drama dreamboat.”
This isn’t the first time Craig has appeared in the magazine’s Readers’ Choice poll. She has been nominated as the sexiest morning show host in 2023. That same year, Al Roker was also named the sexiest grandfather. Mark Consuelos won the morning show host award, while Pierce Brosnan won the sexiest grandfather award.
