Carson Daly |
Carson Daly will join
the “Today” show with the revamp of Studio 1A debuting Monday, Sept. 16, the
set’s first redesign in seven years that will feature an open floor plan.
According to Variety, the Orange Room will be a “nexus
point” between the audience and the show, with Daly acting as the intermediary
between the audience and “Today” hosts and guests.
The Orange Room’s lounge-like setting on the set will be a
“hub of emerging technology,” outfitted with social media hangouts, extended
live-stream interviews with “Today” guests, analysis of real-time social data
and reactions from the web, as well as the home for the show’s original digital
franchises, NBC said.
“‘The Orange Room’ is where the newsroom meets the living
room,” exec producer Don Nash said.
Daly will continue to host and produce NBC’s “The Voice,”
which debuts its fifth season Monday, Sept. 23, as well as his morning drive
radio program on KAMP 97.1 AMP FM Los Angeles.
In addition, NBC has extended its relationship with Carson for a first-look
development deal for scripted and alternative programs.
