NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Carson Daly spoke out on the value of checking in and having genuine conversations with your loved ones while reflecting on the life of Stephen "tWitch" Boss, who died by suicide on December 13 at the age of 40. "This one's really hard to wrap your head around because so many people who were close to tWitch are trying to figure out: What was it? What happened?" the co-host asked on the latest episode on 'The Today Show'.
"I think people have to just stop assuming that when you see people on television, when you see them on social media, that they're OK," Daly continued. "Especially with the dancing — dancing is such a symbol of freedom and happiness and joy. We have to stop assuming, he said. Daly singled out social media websites which can be especially harmful, "Everybody’s propping up the best part of themselves, and it’s taking away from real conversations happening," he added.
