Carson Daly has commented on why Keke Palmer is hosting “The Voice: Celebrity,” an upcoming spinoff of the NBC singing competition he’s hosted for 15 years.
After praising the new series as a “fun, new idea” that he’s “been talking about on ‘The Today Show’ for a while now,” he wrote in an Instagram caption that he is “not the right host for it. We have a NEW amazing HOST! The triple threat queen @keke who is PERFECT for it! I’m so grateful she carved out the time in her busy career to help us out. We’re all big fans & welcome her to the family.”
Clarifying further, he added, “Many today have asked if I’m leaving the show. Nope. We’re gonna try out these 2 formats this fall/spring & see how it goes! Hopefully this post clears up any confusion. I am still hosting the show currently. In fact, I have hosted & produced every single second of the show since day 1.” He also noted that he’ll serve as a producer on “The Voice: Celebrity” and “helping it launch from behind the scenes.”
More to come…
