The security guard<\/a> who reportedly failed to keep the TODAY show intruder out of the studio has been fired.<\/p>\n

Page Six reports<\/a> intruder suspect Andrew Truelove was able to slip past two security guards with surveillance video capturing the oversight. One guard stepped away while the other “missed the intruder,” as he walked in.<\/p>\n

Police say Truelove<\/a> broke into the TODAY show studio in New York City on Thursday searching for Al Roker. The suspect allegedly yelled racial slurs before confronting host Craig Melvin.<\/p>\n

NYPD quickly took the suspect into custody. He is now facing two hate crime charges following the aggressive encounter.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Melvin was back on the anchor desk Friday morning and appeared to be in good spirits. He remained on the show for two hours before secondary hosts stepped in during the show’s 9 a.m. hour.<\/p>\n

About 30 minutes into the 7 a.m. hour, Melvin and the team addressed the Thursday security breach.<\/p>\n

Melvin said, “We want to take a quick moment to address what happened yesterday. You may have heard that unfortunately an intruder made his way into an unauthorized area here at Studio 1A. Thankfully, he was apprehended quickly, he was placed under arrest. We are cooperating fully with the NYPD as they investigate the matter and we are just very happy that everyone is safe.”<\/p>\n

Melvin also noted he is “safe and sound,” following the incident.<\/p>\n

Just before Thursday’s security breach, Melvin’s co-host Savannah Guthrie<\/a>, announced she would be stepping away from the morning show for a few weeks to film a new ‘Wordle’ gameshow.<\/p>\n

Friday morning, Guthrie was not on the desk with her co-hosts stating she was taking a “long weekend.” Melvin left early Friday for a reported previously planned vacation.<\/p>\n
