Carson Daly had an apparent slip up on the Today Show this week while making the transition to a new story.
As the morning show transitioned from a piece by Savannah Guthrie to talking about Hoda Kotb‘s podcast Making Space, Carson seemed a bit confused.
Carson, 52, sat down to introduce the Pop Start news segment in the second hour of Today, joined by Craig Melvin, Dylan Dreyer and Laura Jarrett.
Daly then transitioned to introducing former Today host Hoda Kotb’s, 60, podcast, acting like he thought she was going to be on set.
‘Hoda’s not here, I don’t know where she is,’ he said as his co-stars laughed. ‘I think she’s on vacation still,’ he sarcastically added.
Laura was the first to tease Carson, saying Hoda was still ‘making space.’

Carson Daly had an apparent slip up on the Today Show this week while making the transition to a new story
Carson sarcastically quipped, ‘She’s making space, she’s made a lot of space Laura.’
Hoda stepped down from her role at Today in January after 17 years on the show.
After Hoda announced she was leaving Today, Carson gave some long and hard thought to the future of his television career.
‘Wow, I cannot wait to get off television!’ the father-of-four revealed. ‘I still see Jay Leno on TV and I’m like, “why?” No, I am… I am looking to cut back.’
He continued, ‘I lost my dad when I was five, so my time with my kids is the most precious.
‘That’s what I think about Hoda, I’m happy for her, she’s gonna get more time. Walking your kids to school is way more important,’ Daly added.
Kotb’s decision to leave her role at Today was in order to spend more time with her daughters Haley, seven, and Hope, four.
When asked about the close-knit, family-type bond the hosts share at the Today show, Daly said: ‘There’s a saying that goes, “you can’t fake the funk”, and I think people ask me about The Voice on NBC, they ask me all the time – when we find our coaches – “how do you find the right coaching panel for chemistry?”

‘Chemistry is an impossible thing to cast, and when you have it and when you get it, it’s really the most beautiful thing.
‘And what you see on the Today show is an undeniable family chemistry that is just organic.
‘God made it that way for this time and all of our lives to be working together and that’s the simple answer,’ he continued.
‘You can’t manufacture getting up at five in the morning and actually loving the person that you’re sitting next to. We all have a relationship outside of this show and I think it comes off on air, but you can’t fake that,’ Daly added.
The TV host has been fronting The Voice since 2011 and joined Today as a social media correspondent in 2013, with his role increasing in subsequent years as he became a co-host.
Daly shares his 16-year-old son Jackson and his three daughters Etta, 12, London, 10, and five-year-old Goldie with his wife of 10 years Siri Pinter.
Last year, Daly said during an interview with People that it felt ‘crazy’ to have a child who was starting to learn how to drive.
‘My teenager is 15. He’s starting to drive, so that’s been kind of crazy. I have a pickup truck, so he drives my truck. It’s going great. He’s a really good driver,’ he revealed.

Daly also revealed to the publication how sleeping in a separate bed from his wife Siri has helped them ‘stay together.’
He had previously confirmed in 2022 that he and Siri had given ‘sleep divorcing’ a try, which basically means that spend multiple nights a week sleeping in different bedrooms.
The couple entered into the sleeping plan when they decided to do ‘whatever it takes’ to make their marriage last the test of time.
‘The object is to stay together. That’s what we’d like to do,’ he explained. ‘And so reverse engineering that, it’s like — by any means necessary, for the two of us, [we want to] still be in a relationship when we’re dying.
‘It’s been good for us. We don’t do it all the time, but a couple of days during the week – especially if I want to watch an Islanders hockey game kind of later at night – I go into the guest room, she retires upstairs to read her book or watch a show,’ he shared.
