While discussing generational differences, Roker turned to Melvin with a curious expression and asked, "So what are you? Are you a Millennial?"

Craig responded, "No! I’m Gen X." When Craig turned the question around and asked, "So, what about you?", the longtime weather anchor didn’t hesitate. "Uh, old," Roker replied, instantly sending the studio into fits of laughter.

4. Generation Z (1995-2012): The first true digital natives, raised in a hyper-connected world.
