The initial listings for the August 2 TODAY Show advertised a performance by “magician Darren Criss.”
While it seemed likely the error concerned the “magician” part rather than the “Darren Criss” part, the possibility still existed that NBC was referring to “magician Criss Angel.”
NBC just issued a revised lineup for the episode, and it removes the ambiguity.
It will be musician Darren Criss performing on the show.
Criss will take the stage during the 9-10AM (“Today’s Take”) hour of the broadcast. The block will also feature appearances by Will Poulter and Algee Smith as well as Dean Cain.
