Last Call with Carson Daly has been airing at 1:35 a.m. on NBC for 12 years now. TWELVE YEARS. I’ve never seen an episode. In fact, because there’s no virality to Carson Daly, I don’t even think I’ve seen a clip on the Internet. I know he’s there, but I’ve never seen proof of it. I like to think it takes place in a high school gymnasium, where Carson Daly interviews third-rate musicians on metal folding chairs. ANYWAY, word is coming that Daly may not be there for much longer. According to the NY Times, there are preliminary discussions with Alec Baldwin to take over the time slot with his own half-hour interview show. The format would be similar to Baldwin’s podcast, “Here’s the Thing,” where he enters someone’s home to interview them, allowing him to pretape several interviews in a day, freeing him to continue his acting pursuits.

virality. nice word, bro.
Holyshit, Carson has the crazy eye for days…
And “manorexia”.
Alec Baldwin should be the new anchor of Weekend Update on SNL.
I’ve watched Carson’s show a few times when I’ve been up coding and honestly it’s not terrible. He switches up the format a bit and at least tries to do something original.
But if it’s up against the informercial for the Amish fireplace, I’m going to have to choose the fireplace.
Since it will be on NBC, they should call the show “Tankin’ It”.
Third rate musicians on metal folding chairs?! I am shocked, SHOCKED that you didn’t know that Alison Brie did her first tv interview on Carson’s show a few years ago.
/internet searching begin!
Since he ditched the lame ‘talk show’ format and went to his strength, just setting up field pieces, it’s been a great show. He’s a good interviewer and he has solid guests and music.
