Carson Daly death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the television host’s alleged demise gained traction on Tuesday after a ‘R.I.P. Carson Daly’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American television host’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday (April 23, 2024), our beloved television host Carson Daly passed away. Carson Daly was born on June 22, 1973 in Santa Monica. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

Hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 50-year-old television host was dead. And as usual, Twittersphere was frenzied over the death hoax.

Where as some trusting fans believed the post, others were immediately skeptical of the report, perhaps learning their lesson from the huge amount of fake death reports emerging about celebrities over recent months. Some pointed out that the news had not been carried on any major American network, indicating that it was a fake report, as the death of a television host of Carson Daly's stature would be major news across networks.

A recent poll conducted for the Celebrity Post shows that a large majority (76%) of respondents think those Carson Daly death rumors are not funny anymore.
