Carson's Days Are Numbered

With all the changes taking place on the late-night talk show circuit, will Carson Daly still have a job?

NBC has started conversations with Daly to keep him on board as host of Last Call. Currently, his deal expires this August.

After the peacock network's decision to move Jay Leno into primetime at 10 pm, many are wondering if it'll make sense to keep Daly's show on the air. That would mean there'd be four talk shows back-to-back on NBC.

Will Daly even want to stay on? Is he still upset that NBC chose Jimmy Fallon to replace Conan O'Brien instead of him?

NBC's mouthpieces say that Daly wants to stay.

Rick Ludwin, NBC’s executive VP for late night and primetime series, said “We have begun conversations with Carson. We do want to continue with Carson Daly, both with ‘Last Call’ and with [his] New Year’s Eve [specials]. We’re going through the budgetary process with all of our shows. There are new budgetary realities. … It’s tough. We want to keep [Carson] going as long as we can make the budget work.”

We smell a lame budget excuse in the works!

    20. 20

      NBC made the right choice - Jimmy Fallon is so cute and likable. Carson is wooden, no talent, egomaniac. I cant stand this guy. He is such a poseur and his lame routinie of trying to be down with all the music acts is played.

      He peaked in the 90s. Send him on his way and make room for Jimmy:) Yeah!



    21. 21

      Poetic Justice — Carson is a big Republican supporter - Bush and Cheney destroyed the economy with the war. The wrecked economy gives NBC the out to fire his ass.



    22. 22

      Carson's show sucks ass and he's the main problem.

      He could turn you to stone with those eyes! Eeeeeee……!!



    25. 25

      he is on cocaine thats why his eyes r like that



    26. 26

      I dont know, I used to HATE Last Call bc when Carson Daly tries to be a comic hosting a talk show it just falls SOOO flat. But lately he has come into his own more and done more shows focused on music & talk, rather than forcing him to do comedy that he is terrible at. He can be a funny guy, just he is more off the cuff than scripted and he is really at his best when talking to a musical artist he loves. I hope they dont cancel him, I was just starting not to hate his current show and was remembering the Carson Daly I liked on TRL.



    27. 27

      Re: yovovi – Carson Daly is a conservative??? I would have NEVER thought that considering all the constant strip club/drinking/drug references I have heard from him over the years and also just bc he is in the entertainment industry in general. I guess more for that, since we know Republicans always secretly like their hookers & drugs too, but he is very open about joking about it (always very knowingly).

      I guess he could be a libertarian, but I really dont see him as a hard-core right winger.



    28. 28

      I Love LOVE CARSON His show is pretty fucken funny and he really knows how to make fun of himself… I hope they keep him and put him up earlier as well. Thats a mean awful picture of him LONJA PANSA! Can WE call you LONJA QUEEN? PLease?



    29. 29

      CREEPY!!!!!!!!!! Take me to your leader…lol yikes!!!



    30. 30

      goddamn!!! that is not some shit i needed to look at before i go to sleep. fucking give me some nightmares why dont you! creepy ass eyes man.



    31. 31

      he truly is the worst talk show host ive ever seen, he makes tyra look like oprah. so ugly too, so so ugly



    32. 32

      YAY!! I will be so happy to know that Carson Daly is off the air! The guy is boring, arrogant, and perverted! And what for?!! He's not even hot!



    33. 33

      This NOBODY had a little show in the afternoon, some kind of MTV show, where he was almost pretty good. Then…oh my oh then…I don't know HOW he got that job late in the night that embarrassed me, I thought he'd last ONE NIGHT. He lasted longer, then this guy lost some great amount of weight I don't know why and which only makes him look like a little girl full of pink and fluffy dresses and pretty flowers, and his eyes suddenly bugged out, and I can't imagine the secret of his success! This guy is so hyper, thinks he's one with Conan and Leno, and he is a LOSER! This possibility that his show will be cancelled is long overdue. I can't stand this creep! What a prissy rose, what a violet in the garden trying to get away from the sun.



    34. 34

      when the HELL is he getting the boot??! he swears he's funny and has the credibility to say whatever he wants to his guests, or to even speak about any topic. at first his show started off as a wannabe late night or tonight show with a "comedic" monologue…and now carson is BACK to having a TRL-esque show. How SAD. yet he tries so hard to make himself seem cool and grown up by making fun of boybands. look around you, carson, you're still doing the same juvenile shit and nobody will ever take you seriously.



    35. 35

      Jimmy Fallon?? How fucking bad do you have to be to beaten by Jimmy fucking Fallon?!

      Of course Daly wants to stay….do you think others are lining up at his door to sign him otherwise? Stay at NBC or try hosting the Marie Osmond Doll Collection on QVC.
