Summary
A security guard was fired after Andrew Truelove slipped into NBC's Studio 1A during a live "Today" broadcast and confronted Craig Melvin.
Page Six reported surveillance video showed Truelove passed two guards when one stepped away and the other failed to stop him.
NYPD arrested Truelove quickly after police said he entered Rockefeller Center looking for Al Roker and allegedly shouted racial slurs; he now faces two hate crime charges.
Craig Melvin returned to the anchor desk Friday, said he was "safe and sound," and told viewers NBC is cooperating fully with the NYPD investigation.
