Carson Daly: he exists
Filed under:

television
How is it that Carson Daly still has his own show on NBC? His pathetic monologues and pitiful attempts at sketch comedy make me weep openly. And here's something I just realized when I got my HDTV last month. Fucker doesn't even warrant high def! Leno's in HD and Conan's in HD, but Carson is in lowly standard definition. It's because NBC knows that if we saw his show in any greater level of detail, we'd realize just how much elephant testicle he sucks, and our heads would explode. At least NBC is responsible enough to keep our heads safe. But can you do something about the spoiled douche leaking from my television?

I am the biggest anti-fan of Carson Daly. He is the worst interviewer ever. He always has to read from his note cards when he's interviewing people just so he can remember their name or the name of their latest movie and he gets all awkward and stuttery, and sometimes it's so bad that I even start to feel uncomfortable.
Ugh, his lack of interviewing skills is a topic in and of itself. What I find so unappealing about him is that he's so white bread frat boy accounting major trying to be cool and funny but failing miserably. With his uncomfortable and unnatural delivery, he could just as well wear one of those big LED belt buckles with a scrolling message "These jokes were written by someone else." Yeah, Leno and Conan don't write much of the material on their shows, but they are natural comedians with senses of timing and irony. Carson Weakly has neither.
After I posted this, I decided to torture myself and flipped back over to him, only to find Adam Corolla wishing him a happy 5th anniversary for his show. FIVE FUCKING YEARS???? There is no possible fucking way he's getting ratings that merit keeping his show on the air for 5 years.
When I was really depressed I would lay in front of the tv at all hours of the night and just zone out. Since I don't have cable and really only get decent reception on about 5 channels, I often had that show on in the background. It was horrible, it made me want to cry, but I kept it on just for the "white noise". Maybe he's being fueled by all the sad depression junkies who don't have cable...
Turn off your fucking television.

Hey! What happened to Mustafa??
Lesley, you might be onto something. Also keep in mind that Nielson boxes record ratings even if the people fall asleep in front of the tv. I'll bet that's where 90% of his ratings come from. The rest are from teenage TRL freaks.
Elizabeth, it's actually rare that I sit down and only watch tv. It's usually on in the background while I read the news, catch up on email, blog, etc. Regardless, if you ever need a hand getting off that high horse, I have a step ladder that's just the right height. ;-)
Oh, and I think Mustafa is trying to make nice kissy kissy with the American ladies. He doesn't like me. Too bad. I'll bet his mustache tickles.
