NBC’s Carson Daly has been open about his ups and downs when it comes to weight loss over the years, as well as a weight gain for a very positive reason.

The Voice host had years where he looked quite trim. However, he put on some pounds in 2019 and was happy to find out why.

“Fun fact: I assumed recent weight gain was a side effect from an anti-anxiety drug I started,” he wrote on Twitter at the time, adding, “Turns out it’s just working. The calmer/happier me is in a better mood and appetite increases.”

With his decrease in anxiety, Carson told Today, “What happens is you end up celebrating life, which means you eat and drink like a king,” although he vowed to start hitting the gym to take off the excess pounds. By 2024, he showed off his weight loss at the MTV VMAs.

The Santa Monica, California, native reflected on gaining weight in 2019 after he started a new anti-anxiety medication that helped his mood.

When he asked his doctor if the drug made him put on the extra pounds, “She goes, ‘No, there’s not really a weight side effect. Officially, what’s happening is that for the past seven, eight months, you’re experiencing a new, calmer, less anxious version of yourself. Actually, it means the drug’s working,'” Carson said on Today. “She was right. When I look back, I found I have a whole new happiness and lease on life. I can do anything. I feel like Superman.”
