Jamie Lee Curtis made a memorable appearance on the Today show during her interview on December 2, where she stirred a touching moment with host Craig Melvin.
Known for his humor, Craig revealed a different side of himself while discussing his recent ear piercing with Jamie, who was there to promote her latest film, Ella McCay. Instead of focusing solely on the movie, Jamie’s curiosity led her to explore a personal detail about Craig’s appearance.
As Jamie spotted Craig’s earring, she asked him about its significance. In a heartfelt admission, Craig shared that he had gotten the earring while supporting his daughter, Sybil, as she faced her own fear of getting her ears pierced. “What’s the blue dot in your ear?” Jamie inquired in a TikTok clip. Craig responded, “My daughter years ago, she went to get her ears pierced—and then she got cold feet. In a moment of haste, I was like, ‘If I do it, will you do it?’ She’s like, ‘Yes!’ And I got it. That’s why I have it.”
When Jamie learned the touching backstory behind Craig’s earring, her reaction was but sheer admiration. She exclaimed, “Oh, come on! That’s gorgeous! It’s a beautiful thing you did that, and I love that you keep it. I’m glad you were able to say, ‘No, this is important to me. This is my connection to my daughter.’”
Fans watching the exchange were deeply moved, highlighting the supportive bond between Craig and Jamie. Social media chimed in with positive remarks. One viewer noted, “You can see so clearly that she made him feel so seen and validated in that moment. How sweet all around!” Another comment affirmatively pointed out, “That’s a bad*** dad. YES!” Remarking further on Craig’s gesture, another fan added, “That’s such a beautiful way to show support for his daughter… she’ll forever remember this gesture from her dad.”
It’s moments like these that remind us of the special connections we share. Here’s hoping Craig continues to share snippets from his close relationship with Sybil!
