TODAY show viewers are puzzled after host Craig Melvin’s bizarre interview with Anya Taylor Joy.

Anya appeared on the Today show to promote her role as Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which led to a strange line of questioning.

Craig asked about the “through lines” between Anya’s roles as Princess Peach and her rumored casting as legendary musician Joni Mitchell during the Thursday interview.

“Looking ahead here, you’re rumored to be playing Joni Mitchell. Speaking of through lines here,” he said.

“One of the arguably, singularly most important women in music over the last generation or so.

“Princess Peach… one of the most iconic women in gaming history. What’s the connection there?”

“What’s the connection between Joni and Princess Peach?” Anya repeated.

“They’re both singular. You can’t touch them. They’re in a league of their own,” she said.

“What more can you tell me -” Craig said.

“Absolutely nothing,” Anya said with a laugh.

Craig then switched to asking about Anya’s role in Dune 3, but fans were baffled by the comparison.

“Honestly, a really solid response to a ridiculous question. Anya is a true movie star,” one fan commented.

“Sentences have been formed that have never been formed before,” another said.
