The bridge allows travelers to cross between Michigan and Canada.
Craig recalled the time he went over the bridge and called it “beautiful.” Laura inquired: “On your bicycle?” Craig admitted: “No…maybe next time, now that I have the option,” as Dylan Dreyer was heard cracking up in the background.
Laura commented: “I love when I can hear Dylan laughing off-camera a little bit.” Dylan explained: “I can imagine Craig crossing the border on a bike with a helmet.”

Craig revealed: “[That’s] literally the funniest thing I’ve ever heard you say on television. Wow…the Dylan Dreyer drive-by.”
Dylan playfully ran her hand over Craig’s hair while they all laughed together.
Later in the show, the co-stars announced that Usher will be visiting the Jenna and Sheinelle show later in the morning.

Craig laughed and commented: “A lot of haircut jokes today.”

The journalist recently brought his followers along for his barber shop appointment and he teased: “Alright, here we are. You’re coming along for my hair journey. This is the longest that it’s been in thirty years. This was encouraged by my long time barber here, DJ Fresh. I’m at supreme cuts and we’re about to get a cut. Let’s see what happens.”
In the clip, Craig asked his fans: “Should we keep growing it out or should we cut it back down?”
His barber responded: “No, this makes you look a little young,” and Craig replied: “Oh, Fresh thinks I need to look younger.”

During Craig’s vacation last month, he showed off his grown out beard and he captioned his selfie: “Last full day of paradise and the scruff just got approved by my most important critic. Apparently growing it out is a vacation win. Hair growing, soul restored, daughter approves—what more could you ask for?”
He concluded: “Soaking in every moment before we have to leave this place #VacationMode #ScruffyDadWins #DaddyApproved #VacationMemories.”
