Carson Daly has officially been named co-anchor of Today Saturday, and his fellow The Voice coaches have lined up to congratulate him. Daly, who has long been one of the hardest-working people in show business, was pulling double duty for a while, serving as a features anchor and co-host during the week and co-anchor on Saturdays, before the new role was announced this past week.
Saturday, 7 November marked his first official day as co-anchor of Today Saturday alongside Laura Jarrett. In a video shared by Today, Blake Shelton, Riley Green, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine all congratulated Daly on the new gig, with Green telling him: “Carson Daly, congratulations on getting Saturday on Today! People love you. They just want your face all the time.”
Still hosting The Voice — for now
Daly has also remained the host of The Voice amid its 30th season, even as speculation swirled about whether he might leave the show. That speculation proved to be correct and incorrect, as he did return for Season 30 but was confirmed not to be hosting Season 31. That season, subtitled Celebrity, will feature a new format and will see Keke Palmer take over hosting duties from Daly.
Daly himself has not given any indication that he plans to leave The Voice entirely, and his new Today role appears to be an addition to his workload rather than a replacement for it. He has been a fixture of NBC’s mornings for years, and the Saturday co-anchor role formalises a job he had already been doing in practice.
A career built on mornings and music
Daly first became a household name as the host of MTV’s Total Request Live, before moving to NBC, where he has hosted The Voice since its launch in 2011 and served as a Today contributor for more than a decade. His move to co-anchor of Today Saturday is the latest step in a career that has spanned music television, reality competition and morning news.
For viewers, the change is a subtle one: Daly was already on their screens on Saturday mornings. What has changed is the title, and the recognition that comes with it. His Voice colleagues’ congratulations, delivered with the warmth of people who have worked alongside him for years, suggest the new role is a popular one inside NBC as well as outside it.
