Carson Daly is staying with The Voice. Recent announcements regarding the new celebrity spinoff led some fans to believe that Daly planned to exit the long-running singing competition. NBC revealed that a new series titled The Voice: Celebrity will debut in 2027 featuring Keke Palmer as the host rather than Daly.
Daly addressed the rumors on social media to clarify his status with the network. He stated that he remains the host of the original series and has produced every season since the show began in 2011. He described the celebrity version as a distinct project that requires a different approach. While he will not serve as the on-air host for the celebrity iteration he confirmed his role as a producer for the new show.
Daly expressed support for the decision to bring in Palmer. He noted that he believes she is the right fit for the celebrity format and welcomed her to the production family. He plans to focus his efforts on helping the show launch from behind the scenes while maintaining his front-facing duties for the standard competition series.
The main show continues its run this fall with its 30th season. The coaching panel for this upcoming season includes Kelly Clarkson, Riley Green, Queen Latifah, and Adam Levine. NBC describes the celebrity season as a chance for familiar faces to compete against one another in a new context. This separate competition will air in 2027 while the flagship show maintains its scheduled premiere on September 21.
