The Today show isn’t about to let another president call them fake news!
On Wednesday, Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin set the record straight on the MSNBC host’s contentious #MeToo chat with Bill Clinton, who has since expressed some frustrations over how the interview played out.
During his appearance on The Late Show Tuesday night, the former president suggested his controversial remarks about Monica Lewinsky were selectively edited by NBC, and even claimed Melvin had falsely asserted that Clinton never apologized for his affair with Lewinsky.

But the anchors are defending their journalistic integrity! Melvin and Guthrie shot back at Clinton’s “false allegations” about his appearance, with Guthrie pointing out to Melvin:
“I think the tape speaks for itself. You, of course, did not assert that he never apologized. You asked whether he had apologized.”
It’s true — he did!
Melvin added that the edits to the interview were “minor” and the full broadcast could be found online.
Clinton, to his credit, did email the NBC team expressing some regret about the interview, admitting it wasn’t his “finest” hour. He just can’t keep his cool whenever someone brings up that pesky affair!
