It’s a Boy for Carson Daly & Girlfriend!
Now, the last call Carson Daly will be hearing will be for a baby bottle. The late-night talk show host and his longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a boy on Sunday night.
Jackson James Daly, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., is the first child for the couple. “Parents are both ecstatic,” his rep Heather Lylis tells PEOPLE. “They have a happy and healthy baby boy.”
With Daly being such an avid cyclist “friends are already looking for bike helmets for the little one,” joked his rep in November when Daly announced the news. Daly, 35 is the host of The Last Call With Carson Daly.

NBC’s ‘Last Call With Carson Daly’ Plans to Defy Writers Strike and Resume Production
NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly” is about to become the first late-night talk show to defy the writers strike and resume production.
Daly, who is not a member of the Writers Guild, will begin taping new episodes of his Burbank-based show this week for airing next week, an NBC spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
The half-hour “Last Call” airs at 1:35 a.m. EST weeknights, but whether Daly’s first new episode would air next Monday or Tuesday was initially unclear. No guests were disclosed.
“The Writers Guild of America, East joins our colleagues of the Writers Guild of America, West in expressing our profound disappointment with Carson Daly’s decision to return to work,” the guild said in a statement that also commended other late-night talk show hosts for showing solidarity with their writers. “We thank them and hope that Mr. Daly will reconsider his decision, including the soliciting of scab writers to provide material for his program.”
Daly is not the first talk-show host to go back into production. Ellen DeGeneres, who is a member of the union, has continued taping her daytime syndicated talk show after shutting down the first day of the strike. But “Last Call” becomes the first to break ranks among the late-night shows, which all had chosen to air repeats rather than tape new shows without their striking writers.
It was unclear what effect, if any, the return of “Last Call” would have on other late-night talk shows, which include NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Comedy Central’s late-night news-and-commentary spoofs, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Colbert Report” with Stephen Colbert, have also been in reruns.
There was no immediate word on when any of those shows might follow suit and return with new episodes.
On Monday, contract talks with the studios resumed for the first time since movie and TV writers went on strike Nov. 5. The Writers Guild is seeking more money for material distributed over the Internet and cell phones.
