Carson Daly's son is all grown up — and Jenna Bush Hager can't believe it.

On Monday, May 18, the TODAY anchor took over Sheinelle Jones' spot on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle, and caught his co-anchor up on how his family of six is doing.

The MTV alum has been married to wife Siri Pinter since 2015, and the couple are parents to four kids, son Jackson, 17, and daughters Etta, 13, London, 11, and Goldie, six.

"Never a dull moment in the Daly household," Carson, 52, said, before sharing a photo of him and his son, looking all grown up and just like him, on the golf course.

Noting it was from a trip they took with Carson's stepfather Richard Caruso, he said golf is definitely "the sport that bonds my entire family, so it was special for us."

Carson then noted: "He was the graphics department in 2020, during COVID, when I would do Popstart, I'd have him help me, he'd hold up the signs," adding: "Often we're at a market or the airport, and a viewer will say, 'I remember you from the graphics department.'"

Carson went on to share that he is officially looking for colleges now, prompting Jenna to ask whether Carson would be the "weepy" kind of father when it comes to having his firstborn move out of the house. 

"I'm looking for real estate around the university," he jokingly confessed, adding: "Every time we drive by LIU [Long Island University] Post I'm like, 'Buddy, we're going to get a sick apartment here, I'm gonna hang out, it's gonna be great.'"

"In my mind, I'm going with him to college, the reality hasn't hit yet that I'm not going," he emphasized.

Moving on to his other three kids, Carson then joked that he barely speaks to his 13-year-old, and even asked the audience: "Do you guys speak 13-year-old?"

He added that he got a Snapchat account and they talk more on there then they do in person.

Last but certainly not least, Carson shared that he and his wife's 11-year-old daughter London is "doing great," and that their six-old-old Goldie is an absolute "riot," and her best friend is the family's cockapoo Buckey.
