Watch as Rick Springfield calls out TV host for yawning during live interview: ‘Am I boring you?’

Watch as Rick Springfield calls out a TV host for yawning whilst he was interviewing him, asking the presenter: “Am I boring you?”

Appearing on the TODAY show on Thursday (10 July), the 80s rocker was talking about his hit single “Jessie’s Girl” when he noticed the host looking a little sleepy.

Springfield stops mid sentence to ask presenter Craig Melvin “am I boring you?” to which he quickly laughed and repeatedly said no.

“I actually-you’re not at all,” Melvin replied. “I apologise,” he said as he claimed he was actually coughing.

“It’s early, don’t worry about it, I’ll yawn too,” Springfield joked as the potentially awkward moment was wiped away as the panel all laughed.
