New job, new look! Craig Melvin will officially replace Hoda Kotb on Today on January 13, and he's making sure he looks the part.
The popular star — who is already a pivotal member of the NBC family — revealed he's had a makeover in preparation for his big day.
Taking to Instagram, Craig posted a clip of himself after a fresh haircut.
He rocked the super short look with ease but his barber confessed: "POV: I told him I think I messed up his cut."
Fans loved his "TV ready," appearance and it turns out they weren't the only ones.

It's an emotional time at Today with Hoda's last day fast approaching. The show has dedicated itself to the longtime host, who will leave her friends and colleagues for fresh pastures on January 10.
Craig can't wait for his new role, and he'll be supported by his co-hosts and his family too.
When the announcement was made, his wife, Lindsay Czarniak, couldn't contain her excitement at the news.
She paid a beautiful tribute to her husband on social media.

Hoda is also gearing up for a big change and while she's leaving Today, she has a new venture in her sights.
Appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday, Hoda shared an insight into her future plans and revealed her next business endeavor.

"It's not like going to Mexico with your girls, which is fun, but this is something that when you leave, you'll go like, 'Oh my gosh. I feel transformed. I feel different.'"
