THE Today Show’s Dylan Dreyer shared big career news on Tuesday that has fans including Ginger Zee praising the mom of three.
The NBC News meteorologist and Today anchor returned to work earlier this year after the birth of her son, Rusty.
The 40-year-old shared a sweet photo on Instagram of her holding a box of cupcakes with the words “Happy 500!”
The host is celebrating a major career milestone, the completion of her 500th segment of NBC Earth Odyssey with Dylan Dreyer.
“More than 100 episodes in the can…that means I just wrapped my 500th @nbcearthodyssey segment!!” she wrote.
“I absolutely love working with this crew…like a well-oiled machine! Couldn’t have made it this far without you all!”

NBC News describes the award-winning show as a half-hour television program that takes viewers on a journey to the wildest points of the globe.
Dreyer works to highlight the connection between the environment, wildlife, and human beings of exotic locales.
Fellow meteorologist Ginger Zee congratulated the mom of three in a comment, saying: “Love it!” as Dreyer’s husband Brian Fichera joked about her working with another cameraman: “Wait a minute…..That’s not my jib!”
Fans also rushed to praise Dreyer with one saying, “Not a weekend that I don’t tune in if even for a moment. You are so dialed in & respectful & reverent.”

Dreyer was praised for another big announcement in March.
“I’m so excited to reveal the cover of Misty the Cloud: Friends Through Rain or Shine!!” Dreyer said while sharing a photo of the new children’s book she’s working on.
“A story about sharing and compromise with the bonus of learning about rainbows!” she added.
She released her first book in 2021 with the follow-up expected to be released in fall 2022.
FAMILY LIFE
Dylan and her husband will celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary in October 2022, and the couple welcomed their third son in September 2021.
On September 28, Dreyer revealed on Instagram that she would not be on The Today Show “for a while” because her water broke six weeks early.
“Our little guy is anxious to get out and meet us!” she wrote at the time.
“Doctors are closely monitoring both of us and trying to keep him on the inside for a little while longer to get stronger,” she continued.
Dreyer has since shared numerous photos of her adorable newborn and all three of her boys, including a photo from a solo outing at a restaurant last week.
She captioned it: “Ambitious? Yes. Worth it? Yes!!” with fans praising her for being a hardworking and dedicated mom.
Dreyer returned to The Today Show following maternity leave on January 24, 2022.
SCHEDULE CHANGE
Her return also came with a big update for fans.
On the Weekend Today Show on January 29, she revealed that she would no longer be a part of the Today Show weekend team.
“It’s all about family time,” she said.
“This job can get crazy, especially when we’re traveling and we’re busy, but it’s so important to make time for family, too.”
Dreyer moved to a weekday schedule, working Mondays through Fridays, in order to dedicate more time to her husband and three kids.
