Craig Melvin's family is celebrating a major milestone in his mother's breast cancer journey.
While taping the "Today" show on Monday, Aug. 17, the 47-year-old co-anchor announced that his mom, Betty Jo Melvin, "rang the bell" to celebrate the end of her cancer treatment. He shared the news after Jenna Bush Hager's "Morning Boost" segment showed a woman's granddaughter surprising her on her final day of chemotherapy.
"Oh Craig, you have the Monday feels over there!" Bush Hager said after the clip was played.
USA TODAY has reached out to a "Today" representative for more information.
Betty Jo Melvin was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2025 after undergoing a routine annual mammogram, she told WIS News 10 in an August 2025 appearance on the news station.
