Before the Third Hour, Craig usually joins Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb at the desk about 30 minutes into the regular program.

However, nobody joined the women on Monday, making them take the lead on all of the stories.

When it comes to the Third Hour, typically Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones, Craig, and Dylan all sit behind the hosts' desk.

However, Dylan and Craig were still absent from morning show and replaced with an unusual fill-in.

DYLAN'S DILEMMA

Dylan has also been missing from the morning show for quite some time.
