Carson Daly on 'The Voice' Trae Patton/NBC

Carson Daly is setting the record straight after this week’s announcement of The Voice: Celebrity caused questions to arise about his future with the NBC show.

Following the news that Keke Palmer will host the spin-off edition of The Voice, the emcee took to Instagram on Tuesday to reassure fans that he isn’t leaving the singing competition after hosting the series for 30 seasons.

“‘Celeb Voice’ is a fun, NEW IDEA that features some big differences like… FAMOUS PEOPLE singing for 3 coaches to see if they have what it takes,” Daly wrote. “There’s lots of new twists & turns.”

The television personality explained that the new format called for “a NEW amazing HOST!” before praising Palmer as “the triple threat queen” who is “PERFECT” for the job.

“I’m so grateful she carved out the time in her busy career to help us out,” he continued. “We’re all big fans & welcome her to the family.”

After welcoming Palmer to the Voice family, Daly addressed speculation that the hosting change meant he was parting ways from the show.

“Many today have asked if I’m leaving the show. Nope,” he wrote. “We’re gonna try out these 2 formats this fall/spring & see how it goes! Hopefully this post clears up any confusion. I am still hosting the show currently.”

Daly also reflected on his long history with the franchise, expressing that he has “hosted and produced every single second of the show since day 1, 30 seasons, 16 years.” While Palmer will lead The Voice: Celebrity, Daly said he’ll remain involved behind the scenes as a producer.

“I’ll be producing Celeb Voice only & helping it launch from behind the scenes,” he added.

NBC announced The Voice: Celebrity earlier this week, revealing Palmer as host alongside coaches Joe Jonas, Queen Latifah and Riley Green. Unlike the competition audiences are used to, the special edition will feature actors, musicians, influencers, athletes, comedians and reality television personalities competing in blind auditions instead of undiscovered singers.
