According to NBC, the Orange Room, situated in Studio 1A, will serve as a “nexus point” between the show and its audience, “embracing the many ways that viewers seek out and share news across all media, and allowing the show and its fans to connect in a variety of new ways.”

Daly will continue to host his morning radio show in Los Angeles as well as “The Voice.”

A “transition” for his late-night program “Last Call” will be announced at a later date.

Carson Daly still has a spot in NBC’s shifting late-night lineup.

“Last Call with Carson Daly” has been renewed for a 13th season, it was announced on Wednesday.

The news comes in the wake of the network’s decision to transfer “The Tonight Show” from Jay Leno to Jimmy Fallon in 2014.

Meanwhile, Seth Meyers is reportedly the frontrunner to replace Fallon as host of “Late Night,” while Alec Baldwin had been rumored to be in discussions for his own show, possibly in Daly’s current slot.

But “Last Call,” which has aired under the radar at 1:35 a.m. for more than a decade, will now officially continue.

Daly also hosts NBC’s singing competition “The Voice.”

Are you happy to see “Last Call” coming back?

Alec Baldwin Getting Late Night NBC Show, Replacing Carson Daly?

Alec Baldwin could be the newest addition to NBC’s late-night lineup, according to a new report.

The “30 Rock” star is said to be in early talks for a half-hour show in the 1:35 a.m. timeslot, which is currently occupied by “Last Call with Carson Daly.”

Baldwin currently hosts his own WNYC podcast, “Here’s The Thing,” where he tackles news issues and interviews stars.

A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop that “people have been impressed with his radio podcast series and have thought about him for these opportunities.”

But there’s “nothing to discuss right now,” insists our insider.

NBC’s late-night schedule has been in a state of upheaval, with the recent announcement that Jimmy Fallon will take over “The Tonight Show” and replace Jay Leno next year.

That leaves a spot open on Fallon’s “Late Night,” which reportedly could be filled by “SNL” star Seth Meyers.

The Baldwin development was first reported by The New York Times.

A rep for Baldwin declined to comment.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
