TODAY Show host Carson Daly has appeared absent from the morning show on Thursday.

Beloved co-host, Sheinelle Jones, took over the star's on-air responsibility.

On Thursday's show, Sheinelle led the PopStart segment of the show.

She sat with Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, and Al Roker on the couch.

Carson is usually the expert on all things pop culture, but the host was mysteriously absent.

Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer were absent from the show as well.

However, Dylan did appear on the third hour of Today.

There was no reason given for why Carson or the others were absent.

It is also not clear if he will be back on Friday.

GIRL POWER!

Sheinelle also took over for Craig this morning, leaving an all-female panel.

On Thursday's show, Sheinelle sat behind the anchor desk with the two mains co-hosts.

Typically, Craig comes in about 30 minutes into the Today Show to join the women and talk about important headlines.

However, today, that job went to Sheinelle, who typically hosts the third hour of Today, with Craig, Al, and Dylan.

An all-female panel is a rare occurrence on the show.

Craig did not give an explanation for his absence.

And it is suspicious, considering he was in for the rest of the week.

It is not clear if he will be back on Friday.

DALY'S DAY OFF!

Carson was on the show part-time back in November and December, as he was shooting live shows for The Voice.

With Today in New York and The Voice in California, it was not possible for him to be at both.

So, while he was gone, Sheinelle filled in for him a lot.

Jacob Soboroff also led the PopStart segment on certain days.

The star has been the host of The Voice show since 2011 and a part of TODAY since 2013.

DOTING DAD!

Carson also took some time off last week to spend some time with his daughter.

The 49-year-old posted on Instagram to share an adorable photo of Etta dressed up in a blue hat and matching T-shirt to show her support for the New York Islanders.

He pictured the 10-year-old wearing her Islanders regalia while in the merchandise store at the UBS Arena.

“It’s bring your oldest daughter to a New York Islanders hockey game night!” The Voice host wrote in the caption.

“Love my time with the kids at these games. Let’s go #islanders.”

Carson’s followers rushed to the comments and praised the busy Today star for making time for his daughter.

“Family time is the best memories with your wife and kids,” wrote one.

“Making great memories… so sweet,” agreed another.

A third wrote: “Special time with each child individually is just that, SPECIAL and unforgettable.”

As well as his roles on Today, The Voice, and Beermaggedon, Carson is a dad to four kids with his wife, Siri Pinter.

Carson and Siri, 42, have been married since 2015 but have been together for over a decade.
