Carson Daly has left Today show viewers and colleagues puzzled with a series of cryptic quotes that seem to hint at something deeper going on behind the scenes.

The longtime host has been noticeably absent from the programme on multiple occasions in recent weeks, and while no official explanation has been given, his vague comments have only fuelled speculation. In recent social media posts and on-air remarks, Carson has alluded to a sense of unspoken dissatisfaction, sparking concern among fans who are now questioning whether something more serious is brewing.

Carson, who seems to have been missing an increasing amount of screen time from the show, shared some quotes to his Instagram Stories.

And while he doesn’t provide much context for them, they all seem to be about making a big change in your life.

Carson’s first slide was perhaps his most revealing – directly talking about making a move.

“The move you’re scared to make, just might be the one,” he shared.

Next came a prayer to the lord, asking, “Please give me strength and wisdom to deal with whatever happens today. Help me do things that make you happy. Please be with me, keep me safe, and give me peace. Amen.”

The 50-year-old topped them all off with an inspirational note.

“Decide what kind of life you really want, and then say no to everything that isn’t that.”

DALY OCCURANCE

This isn’t the first time Carson has shared strange sayings to his Stories.

On Monday, he posted another series of cryptic quotes about his future.

“You can literally feel in your soul when it’s TIME,” he shared.

“Time to move on from people, time to make a change in your life, time to get rid of unhealthy habits, time to want MORE for yourself. At some point, you’ll just know.”

He followed that up with another quote looking forward to the future.

“Six months from now, you’re going to look back at your life and say, ‘I really did believe in myself, and it worked,'” the quote read.

CARSON’S CONQUESTS

Carson missed nearly the entire month of December from Today and has already been absent multiple times this new year.

His absences typically come when he hosts live episodes of The Voice on the West Coast.

However, Carson has been M.I.A. a few times this month.

On January 15, Carson was in California as he and his wife, Siri, 43, attended the Emmy Awards.

The Voice was nominated for best reality competition show.

He was absent that day and the next as he traveled back home.

The week before, Carson was also suddenly missing.

Sheinelle Jones filled in for him during the POPStart segment on those days.

Dylan Dreyer also occasionally fills in when Carson is out.
