Carson Daly is an American media personality best known for his work as a radio and TV host. He played golf in high school and even received a scholarship to Loyola Marymount University, but dropped out at 19 to pursue a pro golf career.  Ultimately, he abandoned his pro aspirations, turning instead to a career in radio and television.

Daly began his career in radio while still a teenager, hosting shows in the Los Angeles area. His national breakthrough came when he joined MTV in the mid-1990s as a VJ. At MTV, he became a familiar face hosting the iconic music countdown show Total Request Live (TRL), a cultural phenomenon that helped to redefine the teen pop era. 

Today, Daly is a central figure at NBC, continuing his long-standing role as the host of The Voice, which has earned him multiple Emmy Awards as an executive producer. He also serves as a versatile anchor for the Today show, where he leads the “Pop Start” segment and contributes to the morning news. Over the years, he has hosted several other major programs, including the late-night talk show Last Call with Carson Daly and the annual  NBC’s New Year’s Eve special.

Carson Daly has been happily married to food blogger and author Siri Pinter since 2015. The couple lives in the New York area and has four children: Jackson, Etta, London, and Goldie. In recent years, Daly has become a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, openly sharing his personal journey with generalized anxiety disorder to help others. When he is not on set, he remains an avid golfer and enjoys spending quality time with his family at their home in Long Island.
