Carson Jones Daly was born on June 22, 1973, making him a on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer. He was raised in Santa Monica with his older sister, Quinn, mom, Pattie Daly Caruso, and stepdad, Richard Caruso. Unfortuately, his biological dad died of cancer when he was 5. He graduated from Santa Monica High School in Southern California and went on to study theology at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles (where he seriously considered becoming a Roman Catholic priest), which he dropped out of after a semester to attend College of the Desert in Palm Desert, CA.. In high school he was on the golf team and even competed against Tiger Woods a couple times, and he wanted to go pro. He moved to Palm Springs after dropping his theology course, as an aspiring golf pro.
While in Palm Springs, Carson achieved an internship at KCMJ, where he learned the first rule of radio: "If you have an esophagus and a pulse, you too can be on the air". He started doing overnights for an alternative station in San Diego. After he got sick of that, he moved in with his sister and started working part time for LIVE 105. After working there for a while, he finally got a call from KOME, offering him a job. With this job he was the first person in the US to interview Alanis got to go to the MTV Music Awards, the Grammy's and Spring Break in Panama City Beach, Florida. When he was later working for KROQ in 1996, "MTV offered me a job, I accepted." And that's how it all happened.
Well, that was his past, all that matters now is that he is on MTV Live and Total Request for us to gawk at. Not only is he good looking, but he is also great at his job. But, even though it's hard to believe, Carson is a normal person! Some of his favorite foods are Slim Jims and Otter Pops.... (hey, I eat those!) He also likes the LA Lakers and Oakland Raiders. His favorite TV show is "Party of Five", and his favorite movies are "Barfly" and "Willy Wonka". His favorite bands are Smashmouth, Third Eye Blind, Blink 182, Prodigy, Less Than Jake, Everclear, NIN, some rap, and Hanson.
