“NOBODY COULD BELIEVE WHAT CARSON DALY DID LIVE ON TV.” 🤯 Fans are freaking out after Carson Daly stunned his co-hosts by pulling off one of the wildest moments the morning show has seen in years - Global Celebrity
Carson Daly shocked his Today colleagues during the NBC morning show’s Wednesday, June 3, episode.
During his daily “PopStart” 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. “While they were down in Hugh’s homeland, the new team convinced them to partake in a sacred Aussie tradition called the ‘shoey,’” 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. “Have you guys ever done a shoey?” Daly asked his co-hosts. “I’ve never done a shoey either.”
The Today hosts’ 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, “Next time, I’m gonna drink it out of Savannah’s shoe and call it a ‘chooey,’ because she has a Jimmy Choo shoe. So, I’ll do a shoey and a chooey.”
Guthrie jokingly took off one of her heels and offered it to Daly. “I’m ready,” she stated. Daly went on to state, “Do 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.”
Today‘s official Instagram page shared a clip of Daly’s “shoey” moment on Wednesday, revealing that he took a second shot as the show cut to a commercial break after the “PopStart” segment. Upon finishing the drink, he placed his shoe back on. “Ladies and Gentlemen, Carson Daly doing a shoey at 8:25 a.m.,” the post’s caption read.
Today fans shared their mixed reactions to the live moment in the post’s comments, with one user writing, “This 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 don’t ever stop being you! We still got it and no one can take that from us.”
Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Fox News personality Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery has entered a new chapter in her personal life after marrying Fred in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Hawaii.
Kennedy shared photographs from the celebration at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, giving followers a glimpse of the man she now calls her husband and the friends who joined them for the occasion.
“Married the love of my life at the Four Seasons Lanai in a Heidi Merrick dress drenched in sunshine and aloha,” Kennedy wrote. “I love you forever, Fred!!”
While Kennedy has been open about how much Fred means to her, she has kept many details about her new husband firmly outside the public spotlight.
Kennedy and Fred celebrate their marriage in Hawaii
The couple exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Kennedy wore a sparkling white Heidi Merrick gown with a fitted silhouette, completing her bridal look with a veil and colorful tropical bouquet. Fred wore a light-blue suit with a white shirt, light-colored tie and brown shoes. The newlyweds also wore traditional Hawaiian leis.
Photographs showed Kennedy and Fred walking hand in hand as guests applauded, with the bride raising her bouquet in celebration. Another captured them cutting their multi-tiered wedding cake against a backdrop of palm trees, ocean views and the evening sky.
The wedding announcement became a major moment among Kennedy’s followers, receiving more than 154,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments.
Several familiar Fox News personalities were also part of the celebration. Emily Compagno, Abby Hornacek and Alexis McAdams were among the recognizable guests photographed in Hawaii.
Emily later wrote that they had the “best time celebrating Kennedy and Fred’s marriage,” adding, “The Fox family showed up for our favorite girl.”
Who is Kennedy’s husband, Fred?
Despite the attention surrounding their wedding, Fred remains largely a private figure.
Based on what Kennedy has publicly shared, his surname, profession and detailed background have not been revealed. Even when announcing her marriage, Kennedy continued referring to her husband simply as Fred.
What she has shared, however, offers some insight into how unexpectedly their relationship entered her life.

Kennedy discussed Fred publicly when announcing their engagement on The Five in December 2025. She revealed that he had proposed on December 10 and said the two had met recently and “unexpectedly.”
During the emotional on-air conversation, Kennedy described the impact their meeting had on her life.
“He is the most beautiful, wonderful human being,” she said. “And I had totally given up until those elevator doors opened and I met him out of the blue — he changed my life.”
Kennedy has not provided additional details about exactly where that first meeting occurred or the circumstances surrounding it.
Their relationship began before the public announcement
Although viewers did not learn about the engagement until December 2025, Kennedy revealed another detail suggesting Fred had quietly been part of her life for some time.
She told her The Five colleagues that she had secretly brought him to the Fox Christmas party the previous year.
“I snuck him in. Don’t tell security,” Kennedy joked during the conversation.
That revelation indicated the couple had already been seeing each other by at least December 2024, even though Kennedy had kept the relationship away from public attention.
Dana Perino was among those particularly moved by the engagement news.
Perino recalled learning about it while Kennedy was appearing on America’s Newsroom, telling her colleague that the announcement had made her cry.
“And Fred is such a wonderful guy,” Perino said before telling Kennedy, “I cried because I’m so happy for you.”
From a private romance to a Hawaiian wedding
Kennedy continued keeping Fred’s personal details private even as she became more open about their relationship.
That approach remained evident at their wedding. While she shared numerous photographs of their special day and publicly expressed her love for her new husband, she did not use the occasion to reveal his surname, career or other biographical information.
Instead, Kennedy kept the attention on their marriage and the happiness surrounding it.
The couple received congratulations from numerous familiar names, including Kat Timpf, Janice Dean, Sandra Smith, Griff Jenkins, Abby Hornacek and Meghan McCain.
For followers who had watched Kennedy announce her engagement months earlier, the Hawaiian ceremony provided the next chapter in a relationship that had largely developed outside the public eye.
What is publicly known about Fred remains limited, but Kennedy has made one thing unmistakably clear: she considers him the man who unexpectedly entered her life, changed it and ultimately became her husband.
From secretly attending a Fox Christmas party together to an emotional engagement announcement and finally exchanging vows beside the Pacific Ocean, Kennedy and Fred have now made their commitment official — while continuing to keep much of their story between themselves.
