On July 10, 2025, Rick Springfield, the Grammy-winning '80s rock icon known for "Jessie's Girl," experienced two awkward moments Thursday during his appearance on NBC's Today show.
First, hosts Savannah Guthrie, Jenna Bush Hager, and Kaylee Hartung mistakenly sang the chorus of "867-5309/Jenny" by Tommy Tutone when introducing Springfield, confusing it with his signature hit "Jessie's Girl." Co-hosts Al Roker and Craig Melvin quickly pointed out the gaffe, with Roker quipping, "Very close." Springfield responded lightheartedly, saying, "I’m sorry, what?" and later took the mix-up in stride, showcasing his good humor.
The second incident occurred during Springfield’s interview with Roker, Melvin, and Jill Martin. While discussing "Jessie's Girl," Melvin appeared to yawn, prompting Springfield to pause and jokingly ask, "Am I boring you?" Melvin, laughing, insisted it was a cough, saying, "Not at all, Rick. I apologize." Springfield brushed it off, noting, "It’s early. Don’t worry about it. I’ll probably yawn too."

The hosts appreciated his wit, with Roker declaring, “I like this guy!” and Melvin inviting him back, saying, “I had no idea you were so funny.”Despite the awkward moments, Springfield remained gracious, later posting on Instagram that he had a “fun time with the gang at @todayshow.”
