According toCarson Daly’s son Jackson, 50 is old.
Aftercelebrating his 50th birthdayearlier this month, theTodayhost sat down with PEOPLE to talk about the major milestone. While Daly may have been excited about the day’s festivities, his son Jackson, 14, used the opportunity to crack a quick joke.
“My son brought me that,” Daly tells PEOPLE, referring to apiece of mail from the AARP. “This was a couple of weeks before I turned 50. He was like, ‘Here, Dad. Time for your AARP, so you can get a discount on a Carnival Cruise,’ or whatever.”

“He was just busting my chops," Daly says with a laugh.
Still, Daly stood proud in his age. “I was like, ‘No man, I’m going to be a proud card-carrying member of AARP,’ ” he recalls telling his son. “It’s great.”
In typical teenage fashion, Jackson also skipped Daly’sTodayshow birthday festivities, for which his three sisters Goldie, 3, London, 8, and Etta, 10, were all present. Rolling out a big birthday cake, the three girls wished their dad a happy 50th while their mom Siri made flank steak.

According to Daly, Jackson simply wanted to sleep in. “I woke him up at five and said, ‘You want to go to theTodayshow?’ He’s like, ‘Can I just keep sleeping?’ I was like, “Of course,’ ” Daly tells PEOPLE.
Even on his own birthday, Daly wanted to keep the attention on his kids, making sure they felt loved and appreciated.
“I just want them to live their life and have fun and not feel like it’s all about Dad.”
