Keke Palmer Set To Host “The Voice: Celebrity” As Carson Daly Steps Back From Star-Focused Extension

Let’s hear it for #KekePalmer!

The multi-hyphenate star is adding another major gig to her growing résumé — she’s set to host season 31 of “#TheVoice.” On Tuesday, Aug. 4, NBC announced the upcoming season, titled “The Voice: Celebrity,” will bring a fresh twist to the singing competition, with famous faces from all walks of entertainment — including actors, influencers, athletes, comedians, and reality stars — stepping into the spotlight to showcase their vocal talents.

After the announcement, many fans assumed #CarsonDaly, who has hosted the series since its debut season and will continue serving as a producer, was officially stepping away from the hosting role. But Carson quickly cleared up the confusion, explaining that he simply wasn’t the right fit to host the star-studded extension while remaining on board for the traditional version of the show.

Carson continued, “Many today have asked if I’m leaving the show. Nope. We’re gonna try out these 2 formats this fall/spring & see how it goes! Hopefully this post clears up any confusion.” He also reminded fans that he isn’t going anywhere, noting he has hosted and produced every episode of “The Voice” since day one — a 30-season, 16-year run.
