With Carson missing, anchor Sheinelle Jones took over to fill his spot for the day.

The hosts discussed a variety of topics, including Jeremy Renner’s latest selfie after nearly losing his life in a snowplow accident.

There was no mention of where Carson had gone or why he had been away from the show.

Al Roker, Savannah Guthrie, and Hoda Kotb were on the show, however.

Carson was the only host to be missing from the show after the weekend.

ACTION JACKSON

Meanwhile, Carson’s teenage son made his dad proud on a recent episode of Today while interviewing an A-list rapper.

The Today host let his son Jackson, 14, take the reins as he sat down to ask LL Cool J a few questions about the music industry.

Carson, 50, introduced his PopStart interview segment, where the Grammy-winning rapper was the featured guest.

Carson said LL, 55, had recently kicked off his F.O.R.C.E live tour, but “not before sitting down with the most hard-hitting journalist around” and “former PopStart graphics assistant.”

He then introduced his 14-year-old son as “Mr. Jackson Daly” before announcing the topics that were discussed during the interview.

Jackson was seen wearing a light-colored button-up as the rapper sat next to him in a black T-shirt, hat, and chain necklace.

Jackson asked LL if he “likes where hip hop’s headed now,” especially as it has “changed a lot over 50 years.”

After just a portion of the interview played live on Today, Carson said his son “did a great job” and that “LL was so sweet.”

Carson also said his son realizes that if he wants to listen to a current musical artist, he has to understand “where the genre came from.”

“These youngins need to know about who paved the way!” Carson exclaimed as he beamed with pride over his son’s accomplishment.

“Jackson Daly? He’s gonna be quite the journalist,” fellow co-host Craig Melvin said to Carson on his left.

“I hope so, I hope not a rapper,” Carson joked. “His journalism skills are good.”

JACKSON’S DEBUT

Jackson made his debut on Today in March.

During another Pop Start segment, Carson revealed that his son got to interview Blake Shelton on The Voice.

Jackson got the chance to host a segment on the show NBC News Nightly Kids Edition.

Carson divulged that Jackson and Blake, 46, sat down to talk about Blake’s last season on the singing reality competition.

The Voice host also revealed that the country music star had some advice for his son during their interview.

Additionally, Blake gave Jackson a tour of The Voice set during their interview also.

On the morning show, producers showed a clip from Jackson’s interview where Blake gave Jackson some tough tips.

FUTURE CHEF?

Aside from journalism, earlier this week, Jackson left Today fans shocked as he showed off another one of his talents: Cooking.

Carson’s wife Siri took to Instagram to share a photo of the couple’s son among others.

Siri captioned the snap: “Scenes from the weekend…Starting Friday night when Jackson made us @gordongram’s Beef Wellington and made it perfectly, I might add. I swear I’ll cook something myself someday soon. Maybe.”

In the snap, Jackson is holding a cutting board with a freshly-prepared Beef Wellington in the center.

Jackson is grinning proudly as he holds the tray with both hands.

He used Gordon Ramsay’s recipe to whip it up.

While Siri shared a few others in the post, fans seemed to be most about Jackson’s cooking skills.

“So amazing he can cook like that,” one wrote.

“That beef Wellington,” another commented with clapping emoji.

“Goooooo Jackson that looks amazing,” a third fan added.

Another, apparently part of the family, commented as well: “Omg!!! I’ve always wanted to make that. Please ask him to do it again for me when I visit!!”
