During Thursday’s POPStart, Carson sat with Al, Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb.
After a few topics, Carson talked about Niall Horan appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
He talked about birthday traditions and wanting to get rid of the 40-second spiel that people on their birthday get.
“Speaking of birthdays,” Carson said at the end of the topic, “I got this in the mail the other day.”
“Jackson, brought me this and goes, ‘Dad, this is for you.'”
The screen then showed a thick envelope with AARP as the return address and the words, “Card enclosed,” on it.
“This is from AARP. I have a big birthday coming up in three weeks.”
“You turn 50?” Hoda asked.
“Did you join?” Craig asked. “You get discounts.”
Carson told him he will and said he would rather pay full price and say that he is 40.
Before moving on to the next topic, Al said: “You say that now, but you get discounts on those movie tickets.”
“Oh boy. Lucky me,” Carson joked.
“Hey, that’s half the price of your popcorn right there,” Al finished.
Carson ignored the jabs from his co-hosts and continued on with the next topic.
DIG AT DALY
Carson’s co-host weren’t the only ones to take jabs at him over the package.
The Today host, 49, complained after receiving a membership offer from the American Association of Retired Persons, an organization that caters to adults over 50.
Carson – who turns 50 on June 22 – shared a photo of the letter they sent in anticipation of his birthday on Instagram.
“Welcome to the ‘50’s Club’” the note said, in big, red letters and detailed the organization’s benefits.
The Voice star captioned it: “I gotta big bday next month & S**T JUST GOT REAL!”
He also included a crying-laughing face, an elderly man, and a confetti emoji.
His wife Siri, 42, joked in the comments, “Wait what trunk organizer?? I’m jealous,” referring to one of the gifts that come with a membership package.
She added: “I know nothing about this because I am SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN Carson Daly.”
Other fans flooded the comments to tease Carson, with one writing: “Senior’s days a comin!”
Another added: “I was so humiliated when I got one of these! You’re not alone Carson!”
CARSON’S RETURN
Carson’s post comes after he returned to the Today show on Tuesday.
Last week, he took off the first few days from the morning show in order to be in Los Angeles to host the finale episodes of The Voice.
The season finale of the singing competition was extra emotional for the TV star as it doubled as his friend Blake Shelton’s final episodes as a coach.
After celebrating the country superstar during his last moments on the reality series, Carson returned to Today on Thursday.
Upon his return to the morning show, He shared a sweet clip from The Voice finale of him surprising Blake with a hilarious gift.
He said: “And just like any other coach, when it’s time to walk away from the game, throw in the towel, pack it in and call it a day, we commemorate this big moment like any other great American athlete.
“Buddy, it is time to retire the Blake Shelton Jean Jacket.”
SWEET GIFT
The camera then panned to his jacket hanging up on the wall, with his name, The Voice, and the seasons he’d won written on it.
Carson also paid a touching tribute to Blake on Instagram on the morning of The Voice finale.
Alongside a slew of photos with the country singer, Carson wrote: “Today’s just gonna be weird! No other way to put it.
“For over 12 years I’ve watched the cowboy do his thing on @nbcthevoice & we have laughed & had fun, literally the entire time.
“Thank you buddy! Enjoy your big red chair retirement, you’ve earned it!”
