He is of Irish descent and has worked with Guinness on local "Proposition 3-17" to make Saint Patrick's Day an official holiday.

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 which required Daly to relocate to New York. Once in New York, Daly began hosting MTV Live.
Daly hosted MTV'S TRL from 1998-2003. TRL was born out of two shows, "Total Request" and "MTV Live" 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, 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.

While in the hospital after being hit by a car, Earl learns about karma from watching an episode of 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 Chappelle's Show.
