Dylan Dreyer had a trick up her sleeve on Tuesday's episode of the Third Hour, and it's safe to say it went down a treat with her co-stars! 

The NBC morning host was interviewing Cody Rigsby, alongside Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones

During the chat, the conversation of ice cream eating came up, and Dylan asked Cody whether he bit or ate ice cream.

"Do people actually eat ice cream with their teeth?" Cody asked, before Dylan and Sheinelle replied in chorus "Craig Melvin!" 

A clip of Craig biting a rainbow ice lolly then came up on the screen, much to his surprise. It turned out that Dylan was behind this segway and was more than pleased with how it went down, as it left everyone in hysterics!

"Thank you Cody, you're welcome anytime. Let's go to the commercial break, this wasn't supposed to be made public!" he said while trying not to laugh.

The Third Hour hosts have a close relationship and are always laughing and joking on the NBC show. Craig is often making his co-stars and viewers at home laugh with his quick wit, and back in August, he had everyone in stitches during a live workout session on the show.

When asked about everyone's sense of humour, he said of Al: "Al is so funny. He's also so quick-witted. Some of it is born from his encyclopedic knowledge of everything. He's wit smart. That's also because he's been around longer.

"He knows more because he's seen and experienced more. He's as kind as he is funny." 

He added of Savannah Guthrie: "Her sense of humor is high brow. She's quite bright so her humor is quite bright too. She's very, very funny."
