Carson Daly

No one’s on at my time but infomercials.

The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.

MTV was such a great training for me. I did live interviews with everyone from Michael Jackson to Madonna.

It was really fun being in Tara’s trailer, working on my lines. Tara is such an amazing actress. She’s so good at what she does. I learned a lot from watching her.

It’s important for people to realize I don’t want to be the It guy. I want to crawl before I walk. I want to learn about things before I jump into them.

I really like it that they promote from within.

I don’t have a sidekick – no Ed McMahon. So when I go out there, I’m lonely. It’s scary.

Carson is an old family name, though my grandma used to watch Johnny all the time and was crazy about him.

I’m developing a record company. I’m learning how to supervise music on a film.

You have to change the set, stay ahead of the curve.

It’s hard to be a breakout show and stay on top. We’re like the flagship show over here.
