Carson Daly, the well-known TV personality and co-host of ‘Today’, found himself at the receiving end of friendly banter from his colleagues regarding his past relationship with actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. Daly’s co-hosts, Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager, playfully teased him during the show’s segment on Tuesday, July 15.
The conversation was sparked as Daly discussed the I Know What You Did Last Summer film franchise, in which his ex-girlfriend Hewitt starred. During the segment, Guthrie and Hager couldn’t resist making light-hearted comments about Daly’s past relationship with the actress. The light-hearted ribbing added a fun dynamic to the discussion on the show.
As Daly showcased a photo showing the original red carpet of the 1997 premiere of the movie and a recent image of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr., Guthrie jokingly asked, “Were you at that premiere?” Hager joined in, echoing the question, “Did you go to that premiere?” Daly, maintaining his composure, responded with a touch of humour, “I’m not sure. I can’t remember 30 years ago.”
The banter continued as Guthrie quipped, “We know what you did that summer,” alluding to Daly’s past with Hewitt. Daly took it in stride, acknowledging the familiarity of the jokes. Guthrie added a playful challenge to the audience to look up the details, while Daly good-naturedly labelled his co-hosts as a “tough crowd.”
Daly and Jennifer Love Hewitt were an item back in the late ’90s for approximately a year. While he didn’t attend the original 1997 premiere of the movie, Daly did accompany Hewitt to the premiere of the sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, in 1998. Despite this history, Daly maintained professionalism during the segment without divulging more details about his past relationship with Hewitt.
This light-hearted teasing from Guthrie and Hager is not the first instance of them playfully ribbing Daly about his romantic connections. In a previous segment, the co-hosts engaged in humorous banter about a viral TikTok prank, where jokes were made about Daly’s dating history. Daly has been happily married to Siri Pinter since 2015, and the couple shares beautiful children together.
It’s evident that Daly’s colleagues share a great rapport and engage in friendly banter that adds a fun element to their work environment. Daly’s ability to take the jokes in good spirits only adds to the camaraderie among the ‘Today’ co-hosts. Despite the playful digs at his past romantic entanglements, Daly continues to maintain a professional and composed demeanour while keeping the show engaging for viewers.
