Hey there, friends! You might have noticed something a little unusual lately. Carson Daly, the charismatic co-host of NBC's "Today," has been missing from our screens more often than usual over the past few months. Now, here's the kicker: some cryptic posts on his Instagram page have sparked a whirlwind of speculation. Could it be that Carson is planning a massive career shift? Let's dive in and unpack what's really going on.
Decades of Dedication: Carson Daly's Journey in TV
For over three decades, Carson Daly has been a household name in television. Back in 2013, he joined the "Today" show as a co-host, bringing with him years of experience from hosting MTV's iconic "TRL." But that's not all—since 2011, Carson has also been the face of "The Voice," a gig that keeps him busy almost year-round. Balancing both shows, while maintaining his family life, is no small feat. It's like juggling chainsaws, but make it look effortless.
Back in July 2017, Carson made a bold decision to step away from his radio show. He wanted to focus more on what truly matters to him—his family. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he revealed, "Today is my very last day on AMP radio. The truth is, I just want to have breakfast with my kids. I want to thank you guys. It’s been really incredible." This move wasn't just about work-life balance—it was about prioritizing the people who matter most.

Carson is a proud dad to Jackson, Etta, London, and Goldie, all of whom he shares with his wife, Siri Daly. Reflecting on his decision, he said, "It’s just time. People who know me know I work and travel a ton. I felt it was time for something to give. I want to spend more time with my kids, my wife. Eat breakfast with them and drive them to school. Of all the jobs I have, being a father is far and away the most important to me. It’s time to put family first. Life is moving at warp speed, and I don’t want to miss any of it at home." Those words resonated deeply with fans, who admired his commitment to family values.
Is Carson Daly Saying Goodbye to 'Today'?
Fast forward to January 2024, and Carson has once again sparked curiosity with a series of mysterious quotes on his Instagram Stories. One quote reads, "Six months from now, you’re going to look back at your life and say, 'I really did believe in myself, and it worked.'" Another one says, "You can literally feel in your soul when it’s TIME. Time to move on from people, time to make a change in your life, time to get rid of unhealthy habits, time to want MORE for yourself. At some point, you’ll just know." These cryptic posts have left fans wondering if a big announcement is on the horizon.
As of now, there's been no official word from Carson about leaving either "Today" or "The Voice." However, on January 29, he shared another thought-provoking quote after broadcasting on "Today": "You’ve mastered the art of bouncing back, now it’s time to master not having to." Could this be a hint at a major life change? Only time will tell.
Earlier this month, Carson jetted off to Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards, where he had a memorable moment with "The Bear's" Ayo Edebiri. When she won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress, she handed her purse to Carson as she was whisked away for photos. "When you win an Emmy, what you don’t know is you get whisked away to the back for quite some time," Carson joked upon returning to "Today." "So I had her purse, her iPhone, and a small little actual [digital] camera for about an hour. Ayo’s phone though—it was locked, of course, but I was able to get into the camera. I may have left her a little Easter egg. If she checks her camera, I don’t know… maybe that will be there, we’ll see." Talk about a fun inside joke!
