You probably recognize Craig Melvin as a seasoned journalist and the co-host of “The Today Show” on NBC, but what you might not know is that he had to navigate addiction and generational fatherlessness in his own family to get there.

Craig documents this tumultuous journey in his book Pops, including how he learned to become a better father himself in the process. Now he uses his TV platform to celebrate fatherhood with his “Dads Got This!” series. As parents we all want to be the best version of ourselves for our kids, regardless of our own family circumstances, and Craig Melvin has accomplished exactly that.
