NBC’s The Voice is adding a celebrity-focused edition, and Keke Palmer is set to replace longtime host Carson Daly for the spinoff. Multiple outlets report that Daly, who has fronted the main series for years, is publicly addressing questions about whether he will continue with the franchise. In a social media response, Daly says he is “not the right host” for the upcoming celebrity edition. He frames his comments around the specific format of the new show rather than expressing broader plans to leave the network or the franchise entirely.
Deadline reports that the celebrity edition has been confirmed and that Palmer will serve as the presenter. The Oregonian similarly states that Palmer will take over beginning with Season 31, when the show introduces a celebrity-only competition format. TVLine adds that Daly identifies Palmer as a “perfect” replacement. Across the coverage, the main points are consistent: the spinoff is moving forward, Palmer is announced as the host, and Daly is clarifying that he is not intended to lead the celebrity version.
