Carson Daly has had multiple jobs over the years. Recently, he’s been celebrating a recent addition to his resume. Since then, he’s also shared the support he’s received from his Today family.
Carson Daly Has Been Part Of A Number Of Programs, Including Today & The Voice
Daly previously rose to fame as the primary host of Total Request Live from 1998 to 2003. He also became a host and executive producer on The Voice in 2011.
In 2013, Daly would later join The Today Show. Initially serving as a social media correspondent, he would eventually move into co-hosting and other roles.
On November 7, Daly made his official debut as the new co-anchor of Saturday Today. Previously, he had been filling in for Peter Alexander after his March exit from the network.
As previously reported, fans had suspected that he would get this job after stepping away from his on-screen role on The Voice. This speculation would prove correct, with Daly becoming the permanent co-host alongside Laura Jarrett. Meanwhile, Willie Geist still hosts Sunday Today.
The night before, Daly took to Instagram to mark his first broadcast in the permanent role. At the time, he shared, “Maybe slightly overwhelmed, but mostly incredibly grateful for all the well wishes & kind thoughts for my new Sat @todayshow gig.”
Daly continued, “I’m super excited for tomorrow. A new chapter, a new challenge, and a new opportunity to get better at what I love to do. I’m ready for it.”
Daly Showed Off A Present From Savannah Guthrie, Who Also Shared A Comment On The Post
Daly concluded, “Especially meaningful has been the internal support from all levels of our NBC News family. I hope to do you proud. It’ll be a process, gotta lot to learn & it all starts live tomorrow am with my partner @laurajarrett Cya then!”
In the accompanying photo, Daly also shared that he already received support from one of his Today co-stars. A bottle of alcohol could be seen with the message, “For the anchorman. So proud. Love Savannah.” The bottle could be seen in between boxes of candy and other treats.
Taking to the comments, Guthrie also wrote, “Love you so much! So proud!” For her part, Jarrett also shared, “So many good times ahead—bourbon, gummies and Levain included.”
This isn’t the first time that Guthrie has shown support for Daly’s work ethic. Earlier this year, she could be seen in a photo visiting him on the set of The Voice.
