‘The Voice’ Has Reportedly Tapped an Iconic Celeb to Replace Carson Daly

Carson Daly is reportedly stepping down as host of The Voice after 15 years and 30 seasons (!!!), and it looks like NBC has already tapped his replacement. And she’s an icon!While the network considered coach Kelly Clarkson for the gig, The Sun reports that they’re ready to hire the one and only Keke Palmer.“There were a few big names in the running to host Season 31,” a source tells the outlet. “Kelly Clarkson was discussed after her schedule opened up more with the departure of her daytime show. She’s already beloved by the fanbase, but Keke Palmer was also in discussions to take over the season. Ultimately things didn’t work out with Kelly and Keke got the gig. Keke has blown producers away with her charisma and talent. She gets along great with both the coaches and the contestants. She is a total natural and has killed it so far, so if she wants a bigger role in the future, the door will remain open.”Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.Use your Google account to add this to your settings.Genuinely couldn’t be more on board. Though keep in mind that Keke and NBC haven’t confirmed anything just yet.As for why Carson (who’s staying on as a producer) is no longer hosting, a source said “He wasn’t able to make the upcoming season’s schedule work with his Today Show schedule. So his Today workload mixed with not wanting to be away from family this next year made him say ‘no’ to hosting 31.”The Voice season 30 will premiere Monday, September 21, on NBC.
