Respect The Hustle

When you hear "Carson Daly" you probably immediately think of TRL. I know I DO! But life after Total Request Live has probably been pretty KICK ASS, from what I can tell through my TV screen. Carson has had his own show, Last Call with Carson Daly, since 2002. And from the looks of things I believe Carson has to have one of the illest jobs in the entertainment industry. Daly gets to interview new up and coming artists, actors, comedians, as well as sports entertainers. Basically anything that is NEW and POPPIN'.....Carson will know about it and most likely address it on his show. Last Call airs around 1:36 am (eastern) and me being the night owl that I am, I've caught several episodes. On one of the more recent episodes, live performances by the XX were shown and Daly mentioned another band called White Denim. The crazy thing about THAT little tidbit is that only days before, I had discovered the XX and White Denim by reading a blog post titled gorilla vs. bear's albums of 2009 (on Gorilla vs. Bear). Like I said....NEW & PoPPiN'! I would advise anyone who wants to stay up to date with new music from alllllll types of genre's, to tune into this late night GEM! To sum all this up.....basically Daly has gone from the Corny TRL host to the kinda indie Cool'ish ,"in the KNOW" Late Night host. Not sure how he did it....but you gotta respect his HU$TLE! (He's still kinda corny though!)
