Rick Springfield made it a point to call out Craig Melvin after the ‘Today’ show host yawned during the live interview with the 80s rock icon.

On Thursday, the 75-year-old legend was talking about his 1980 hit “Jessie’s Girl,” then asked Melvin, “Am I boring you?”

“Not at all, Rick. I apologize,” Melvin responded as he, Al Roker and Jill Martin laughed at Springfield’s comment.

“It’s early,” the “Don’t Talk to Strangers” singer responded. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll yawn, too.”

Melvin didn’t help himself, trying to explain it away as a cough.

Springfield didn’t let it go throughout the interview.

“I like this guy!” Roker declared.

Springfield, 75, also revealed new details about the brain injury he sustained more than two decades ago.

He shared he recently learned he had lasting damage from a fall during a Las Vegas concert he performed 25 years ago.

“I was doing the show in Vegas, and I fell actually 25 feet to a steel stage,” Springfield said.

During a mid-show stunt, Springfield was meant to be suspended from a beam on a gravity-fed harness system, but “it wasn’t tied off,” the singer revealed. “I slammed (onto the stage), and then the beam hit me on the head and then my head hit the (stage) again.”
