Carson Daly’s Career

Daly began his broadcasting career at the radio station KOME in San Jose, California. Daly was then given the 6-10 PM time slot at KOME’s sister station KROQ in Los Angeles. It was during Daly’s time at KROQ that MTV recruited Daly to serve as a VJ during MTV’s summer beach house programming called “Motel California.” At the end of the summer, MTV hired Daly as a permanent VJ, a position that required Daly to relocate to New York. Once in New York, Daly began hosting MTV Live.

Daly hosted MTV’S TRL from 1998 to 2003. TRL was born out of two shows, “Total Request” and “MTV Life” both hosted by Daly. Daly’s role as host of the popular live program included introducing the top 10 videos of the day and interviewing celebrity guests. In 2002, the Last Call with Carson Daly debuted. The show was shot on the same set as Saturday Night Live until 2005 when it moved to Los Angeles. Beginning in 2003–2004, Daly began hosting a New Year’s Eve special for NBC, New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly.

In 2011, Daly began hosting and executive-producing NBC’s reality music competition The Voice. Daly’s duties as host include watching blind auditions alongside the contestant’s family members. As a producer of The Voice, Daly has won four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program, first in 2013 and again from 2015, 2016, and 2017. When social media correspondent Christina Millian departed the show, Daly became the sole host.

My Name is Earl

Carson Daly appears in a brief but pivotal role in the first episode of My Name Is Earl. While in the hospital after being hit by a car, Earl learns about karma from watching an episode of the Last Call with Carson Daly where Daly claims that his success is a direct result of doing good things for other people. Earl is thus inspired by Carson Daly to turn his own life around and sets out to make up for his many past wrongs. Carson Daly also had a small role on Dave Chappelle’s show.

In September 2013, Daly became the orange room anchor (social media reporter) on the Today show and also serves as a fill-in anchor for Willie Geist and the show’s weekend edition (Weekend Today). Daly is a founding partner with Jonathan Rifkind, Jonathan B. Davis, and Bam Margera of an independent record label, 456 Enterprise & Entertainment, which released the “Viva La Bands” compilations.
