NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ host Carson Daly was admittedly surprised by his 14-year-old son, Jackson James Daly’s amazing cooking skills as he shares a rare social media post.

In a recent Instagram Thread, Daly revealed Jackson’s inspiration from the popular comedy show ‘The Bear’. He was surprised to see that his son cooked up sea bass and tomato confit. Earlier last month, Daly celebrated his 50th birthday on-air as he was given a special surprise with his family’s appearance on the morning show. His three young daughters joined the hosts and sang a sweet rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to their dad on the live show.

Who is Carson Daly's son?

Jackson James Daly is the oldest of Carson Daly's four children, and he shares them with his wife, Siri Daly. Jackson played a special role during his parents' wedding by walking his mother down the aisle when he was just six years old. As he grew older, Jackson demonstrated an interest in reporting and journalism, following in his father's footsteps. At the age of 13, he made his television debut on 'NBC Nightly News Kids Edition' in 2020. During his appearance, Jackson showcased his reporting skills by covering the Cincinnati Zoo's online excursions in the Kids Corner segment. Moreover, Jackson had the opportunity to visit his father on the set of 'The Voice', where he had the chance to meet the show's coach Blake Shelton.

Carson Daly’s proud dad moment

Earlier this week, Carson Daly posted on Threads and provided a rare update about his 14-year-old son, Jackson James Daly, to his followers. He shared two pictures of food on plates, with a pair of hands holding onto one of the items in the second picture. The caption read, "Inspired by Sydney's S1 finale masterpiece on @thebearfx, my 14 yr old made his best attempt at the Chilean Sea Bass with tomato confit," expressing pride in his son's cooking skills. Carson mentioned that his son surprised them with how good the dish turned out. He also gave a shout-out to @AyoEdebiri and @JeremyAllenWhiteFinally.

Besides Jackson, he has three daughters named Etta, 10, London, 8, and Goldie, 3, with his wife, Siri.
