Carson usually hosts the POPStart segment on the weekday shows.

POPStart reviews the viral pop culture moments of the past few days.

However, when he is absent, the role typically goes to someone else.

Usually, Sheinelle Jones or Jacob Soboroff take on the reigns, but today another host filled in for him.

Dylan Dreyer, who usually hosts the Third Hour, and reports the weather when Al Roker is out, led POPStart on Friday.

Sheinelle was absent on Friday, and Jacob typically only comes on the show to fill in for someone.

She filled in for Carson the rest of the week, as he was out.

It is not clear where Carson is or when he will return to the morning show.

WHERE’S CARSON?

Carson was first absent on Monday.

His presence was noticeable during the PopStart segment he normally helms.

With Carson missing, Sheinelle 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, 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

Before Carson went missing, he promoted his son Jackson, on the morning show.

The 14-year-old made his dad proud as he interviewed LL Cool J.

The Today Show host let Jackson take the reins as he sat down to ask the rapper 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 Pop Start 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.”
