(May 2009) 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. TRL was based on two previous shows, "Total Request" and "MTV Live", both of which had also been 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. Beginning in 2003–2004, Daly began hosting a New Year's Eve special for NBC, ''New Year's Eve with Carson Daly''. In 2011, Daly began hosting and producing NBC's reality music competition The Voice. Daly's duties as host included watching blind auditions alongside contestant's family members. As a producer of The Voice, Daly has won four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program, first in 2013 and again from 2015, 2016, and 2017. When social media correspondent Christina Milian departed the show in 2013, Daly became the sole host. Daly appeared in a brief but pivotal role in the first episode of My Name Is Earl. 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. Daly had a small role on Dave Chappelle's show ''Chappelle's Show''. In September 2013, Daly became the orange room anchor (social media reporter) on the Today show, as well as serving as a fill-in anchor for Willie Geist and the show's weekend edition (Weekend Today). Since Studio 1A was updated for Election Night 2020 with the Orange Room being covered by a large video wall, Daly's title has been rebranded on Today's website as a feature anchor or co-host. His main contribution to the program every morning is the "PopStart" segment at the end of the 8:00 half-hour, which focuses on celebrity news. Daly is a founding partner, along with Jonathan Rifkind, Jonathan B. Davis, and Bam Margera, of an independent record label, 456 Enterprise & Entertainment, which released the "Viva La Bands" compilations. ==Personal life==
