Overview
- Dylan Dreyer acknowledged on Sept. 24, 2026, that she asked Craig Melvin off‑camera whether he “does the shot” during a Today segment about fast‑food options for people using GLP‑1 medications.
- Craig Melvin bristled at the question, called Dreyer’s tone “judgy,” confirmed he has lost weight but did not say whether he uses a GLP‑1 drug.
- The segment included reporting that fast‑food chains are adding smaller or higher‑protein items aimed at customers on GLP‑1s, with the show explaining that the drugs slow digestion and reduce appetite.
- None of the Today hosts have publicly confirmed GLP‑1 use despite frequently covering the drugs, and past on‑air comments by other hosts have touched on personal choices about the medications.
- The exchange spotlights how questions about prescription weight‑loss drugs can cross workplace privacy lines and shows the wider cultural effect of rising GLP‑1 use on food choices and public conversation.
