âTodayâ Fans React to Carson Daly Chugging Beer From Shoe Live On Air
Carson Daly shocked his Today colleagues during the NBC morning showâs Wednesday, June 3, episode.
During his daily âPopStartâ segment, Daly discussed how Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are working together on a new reality series documenting their journey becoming the co-owners of an Australian sailing team. âWhile they were down in Hughâs homeland, the new team convinced them to partake in a sacred Aussie tradition called the âshoey,ââ he stated.
The show went on to show an Instagram clip of the actors being prompted by the team to chug beer from a shoe. âHave you guys ever done a shoey?â Daly asked his co-hosts. âIâve never done a shoey either.â
The Today hostsâ jaws dropped as Daly proceeded to take off his shoe, fill it with beer, and chug it just like Jackman and Reynolds. While Al Roker and Craig Melvin appeared grossed out by the move, Jenna Bush Hager, Savannah Guthrie, and Sheinelle Jones cheered on Daly as he drank from his own shoe.
While out on the 30 Rockefeller Plaza, Daly quipped, âNext time, Iâm gonna drink it out of Savannahâs shoe and call it a âchooey,â because she has a Jimmy Choo shoe. So, Iâll do a shoey and a chooey.â
Guthrie jokingly took off one of her heels and offered it to Daly. âIâm ready,â she stated. Daly went on to state, âDo you know what I have to do to stick around with these fine, hard-hitting journalists? Some interview presidents, some do shoeies and chooey. Gotta earn your keep, everybody.â
Todayâs official Instagram page shared a clip of Dalyâs âshoeyâ moment on Wednesday, revealing that he took a second shot as the show cut to a commercial break after the âPopStartâ segment. Upon finishing the drink, he placed his shoe back on. âLadies and Gentlemen, Carson Daly doing a shoey at 8:25 a.m.,â the postâs caption read.
Today fans shared their mixed reactions to the live moment in the postâs comments, with one user writing, âThis elder millennial who has loved the Today Show for years, is so thankful and grateful that Carson joined the crew. First growing up on TRL and now, growing old with the Today Show. @carsondaly please donât ever stop being you! We still got it and no one can take that from us.â

Referring to Dalyâs days as the host of MTVâs Total Request Live, another joked, âYou can take boy out of MTV, but you canât take MTV out of him.â Someone else shared, âAlways reminding us where he came from! TRL days.â
A different person posted, âYou can never make me hate @carsondaly. I guess thatâs why I have been a fan for so long. Heâs a real as they come.â A separate commenter stated, âPutting the shoe back on and going on about his day was diabolical!!!!â
One disgusted fan quipped, âOh gross. Is this a thing?!â Another agreed, stating, âBut why??â Somebody else shared, âEwwww! But- you go Carson!â
