After a somber day of marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, NBC‘s Carson Daly experienced a “crazy, unexpected full circle moment” from his NYC hotel room. Daly, who is part of the Today show’s anchor team and host of The Voice, shared a poignant post and two stunning photos of New York’s skyline late on Friday, September 11.
One of the crystal clear nighttime photos Daly posted was a gorgeous view of the skyline with the two beams of light that illuminate the night sky annually on 9/11 from dusk until dawn, representing the fallen Twin Towers. The second photo showed the new JP Morgan Chase headquarters at 270 Park Avenue, with its digital “crown roof” projecting an American flag.

“I KNOW, they look like AI,” the former host of MTV‘s Total Request Live continued. “I swear on every Britney video I played for you growing up, these are real. I took them. And when I was done my wife Siri said to me ‘it’s 9:11’ I looked at my phone and that’s exactly what time it was.”
“I watched those sacred beams of light both crumble with my own eyes too, 25 yrs ago from my apt here in NYC,” Daly shared. “Crazy, unexpected full circle moment. My heart is with those we lost that day & subsequently. ❤️?”
When Daly noticed that Meta added a disclaimer to his post noting that it included “AI content,” he wrote in the comment section, “It says “AI Content” because I removed some glare from top right of pic thru window. FYI”
Carson Daly’s Show Says MTV’s Total Request Live Went Back on the Air After Several Days
In 2001, Daly was still hosting TRL, MTV’s incredibly popular live afternoon show, which stayed off the air for three days following the 9/11 attacks, per the Los Angeles Times.

“We had such a massive audience that the question was raised, ‘Do we have a responsibility to simply show up?’ ” Daly told the outlet ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
After figuring out how to get crew members to work given the closed bridges and roads, they went live again on TRL, with superstars Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock calling in to share their views and experiences, while producers posted messages from viewers reflecting on the tragedy.
Carson told Today.com in 2023, “We just felt like the show had hit a place where we all of a sudden had a responsibility that was much larger than music. And we wanted to be there for that generation, through good times and bad.”
