Overview
- NBC announced Thursday that Carson Daly is the permanent co-anchor of Saturday Today and that he will make his official debut on Saturday, Nov. 7.
- Daly will keep his weekday Today appearances and remain host and executive producer of The Voice, effectively adding a sixth day to his NBC schedule.
- He succeeds Peter Alexander, who left NBC in March to join MS NOW, and will join co-anchor Laura Jarrett, feature anchor Joe Fryer and meteorologist Angie Lassman on the Saturday desk.
- NBC executives framed the hire as a way to give viewers a familiar, personality-led weekend show, pairing Daly’s pop-culture background with Jarrett’s legal reporting experience.
- The move secures continuity across NBC properties but may raise practical questions about Daly’s workload and long-term balance with The Voice as the network grows that franchise.
