NEW YORK, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Carson Daly is joining "Today" as host of the New York morning TV program's new social-media Orange Room, NBC announced.
"When I got the call about being permanently on 'Today' and launching the Orange Room, it was like a dream come true," Carson told the show this week. "You know that scene in 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,' where Charlie peels back the wrapper and finds the golden ticket? I felt like I got the golden ticket."
