‘Today’ Carson Daly’s proud dad moment
Earlier last week, Daly revealed during his PopStart segment about his son interviewing A-list hip hop sensation, LL Cool J.
His 14-year-old son has made his dad proud as he sat down to ask LL Cool J a few questions about the music industry on the occasion of 50 years of hip hop industry.
Daly recalled his son as the “most hard-hitting journalist around” and “former PopStart graphics assistant”.
He explained that his son, Mr Jackson Daly, had the chance to sit next to the rapper. The segment displayed a short clip of Jackson and LL Cool J interview where the hip-hop icon was donning a black T-shirt, hat, and chain necklace.
Jackson asked LL about his thoughts on “where hip hop’s headed now” as it has “changed a lot over 50 years.”
Daly exclaimed that his son did a “great job” and “LL was so sweet.” Moreover, Craig Melvin chimed in and said, “Jackson Daly? He’s gonna be quite the journalist.”
Daly replied enthusiastically, “I hope so, I hope not a rapper. His journalism skills are good."
