Last September, Carson Daly, 51, hit the red carpet with his then-15-year-old son Jackson at the UBS Arena in New York for the VMAs, and the duo gave everyone a reason to do a double take. While Carson kept it classic in a dark suit, Jackson gave his look an edge with a striped blue blazer, a black tee and a silver necklace to top it off, per People.

The pair may have been stylish, but what really stood out was how much Jackson resembles his famous dad. Talking to Today, Carson revealed how much fun his son had behind the scenes, sharing some hilarious moments from the night. “He got to see everybody. And MTV, it’s like being backstage at an old-school Las Vegas show. There’s lots of scantily clad young ladies walking around,” Carson joked. “I picked his jaw up off the ground a few times.”

Carson and wife Siri, 44, aren’t just proud parents of Jackson – they’ve got three daughters too: Etta, 12, London, 10, and Goldie, 5. It’s a full house for this proud dad, but clearly, his bond with Jackson is something special.

While hosting his chat show Last Call with Carson Daly, which ran from 2002 to 2019, Carson met Siri Pinter, a writer’s assistant on the show. “It was undeniable,” Carson told People, recalling how he noticed her immediately. After years of dating, he proposed in 2013, and they married in December 2015, just in time for Christmas.

Carson and Siri welcomed their son Jackson in March 2009, and from then on, Jackson practically grew up behind the scenes of US singing talent show The Voice, on which his dad is a host. “He’s really an old soul, and mature beyond his years,” Carson shared with Today.com. “He’s been in a lot of adult situations.”
