Overview
- Opening his Jan. 16 interview, Mellencamp mocked modern forecasting by asking why TV weather is no better despite new technology.
- Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer cracked up as Al Roker took the jab in stride, with Melvin calling it a clip that will "live in infamy."
- Roker replied that he must be doing something right because he’s still working and getting paid, and the two traded a high‑five after Mellencamp called him handsome.
- Mellencamp also highlighted his Dancing Words Tour, a 19‑city U.S. run in July and August announced in a short film with Sean Penn, with stops including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Kansas City, Indianapolis on July 18, and a finale Aug. 12 in Mountain View, California.
- He updated viewers on daughter Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave’s advanced skin cancer, saying she is on immunotherapy rather than chemotherapy and has tough days, and he noted he has encouraged her to move back to Indiana.
