Answering YOUR Questions
Hello friends, Will Lerner here to answer some of the questions you readers have been sending in. I already answered some questions about the blog, but I thought you’d appreciate it if I divulged some more.
What’s Carson like when the cameras are off? (from Holly in Staten Island, NY)
Short answer: No clue. Longer answer: Last Call with Carson Daly has an unorthodox shooting method. Although we only have 22 minutes of airtime, we shoot 12 hours of content. Then our editing staff (fifty-five people strong) cut it down. This is a roundabout way of saying that I wouldn’t know what Carson’s like off-camera, because we never stop shooting. You can see the fatigue hit the show in episode 330 when Maura Tierney literally fell asleep mid-interview.
Why did the show move from New York to California? (from Mike in Yonkers, NY)
Short answer: Manifest destiny. Longer answer: Much like our nations’ forefathers, Last Call looked west for land and riches. Carson Daly is like a modern day Lewis and Clark. Actually, that’s the most fitting simile I’ve ever written. Like Lewis, Carson enjoys river rafting and homemade jackets made out of hide, and like Clark, he doesn’t go anywhere without his favorite coonskin cap and Native American female guide. Which, coincidentally, is why Carson trades in all his one-dollar bills for Sacajawea coins.
Has Joe Firstman and the Last Call band always been with the show? (from Jeff in Kenilworth, NJ)
Short answer: Nope. Longer answer: Joe and the gang settled in as house-band after a few seasons of different bands playing the part. I’d like to take the rest of this space to speak about something completely unrelated. I have a serious problem with people in the Target who walk down the main aisles and then suddenly stop in the middle to look at something. When you suddenly stop, I assume you’re staying there, so I start to look to move around you when, all of the sudden, you keep moving, so I have to either get in back of you again, or try to rush around you before halting the people coming down the other side of the aisle. The biggest issue is that if you’re doing this once, you’re likely to do it again, and it pisses me off and I hate it, so quit doing it already. I’m talking to you, lady with the mullet and tremendously big Auburn University shirt with the tobacco stain on the sleeve.
What are some really cool celebrity names? (from George in West Kingston, RI)
I’ve always been a fan of Gerard Depardieu. Moon Bloodgood (a recent guest of the show) has a great name. Others that would probably make a top 100 list: Malik Yoba, Tovah Feldshuh, and Farty McFartsworth Fartington IV.
How many Emmys did Last Call win this year? (from Stephanie in Northbrook, IL)
The real question is how many Emmys did we not win that we were not trying for this year? And the answer is a magnificent 100 percent. You try finding another show with a record that impressive, and I’ll eat my hat twice over.
When can we see more skits on the show featuring that good looking guy Will the Intern?
FIFI LARUE "The Gothic Killer Clown Of Rock n' Roll!" would like to be a Musical Guest on the show... Checkout our New Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpLJsw1B_ac
