The Voice Coaches Surprise Host Carson Daly
Carson Daly co-anchored his first episode of Saturday Today on November 7. During the show, Carson received a surprise video message from several current (and one former) coaches on The Voice. First up was Adam Levine, who joked that Daly has “yet another job.”
“That’s amazing. Love you so much,” Levine continued, before adding, “You should slow down. At a certain point, you’re gonna have to slow down. So, as your friend, I think I’m actually worried about you. But congrats.”
Next was Kelly Clarkson, who congratulated Daly on the new gig and added, “People love you. They just want to see your face all the time. I do.”
New coach Queen Latifah also had a message to share, joking, “Not even a Saturday do you get off, huh, Carson? Nope, nope, nope. Saturdays with you? Oh, we can’t wait to spend it with you. Congratulations on the new gig, man.”
Carson Daly also received a video message from former The Voice coach Blake Shelton. He told Daly, “I think you’re gonna do an incredible job. I’m not too worried about it, because I know Saturday’s like any other day of the week for you. You’ll be drinking.”
Daly shook his head in disbelief as his co-anchors laughed at Shelton’s comment. The country star went on to say that there will probably be less breaking news on the weekend, “which is good for you, because I don’t think people take you that seriously.” Daly let out a laugh at that.
“Anyway, buddy, good luck. Love you, and congratulations,” Shelton said to end his message.
