Family

American television host, radio personality, producer, and television personality, who made his television debut with MTV in 1997. Until 2002 he was the host of "Total Request Live," a daily show devoted to music and interviews, with a large fan following. In 2002, Daly joined NBC, where he began hosting and producing the late night talk show "Last Call with Carson Daly," and occasionally hosting special event programming for NBC. The son of J.D. and Pattie Daly, Daly has one sister, Quinn. When he was six years old, his father died of bladder cancer. His mother remarried Richard Caruso, the owner of a golf shop. While attending Santa Monica High School, he spent most of his time golfing and won a golf scholarship to attend Loyola Marymount University. There he majored in theology, and at one point, the guy who is often described as a "great listener," considered becoming a priest. After only one year, he dropped out to pursue a professional golfing career. Instead, he ended up with a job at a radio station, first working as a DJ, but quickly being promoted to a position as producer of their morning show. Eventually he moved to San Francisco in an effort to further his career as a radio personality, a change that led to his career with MTV. From 2000 to 2001 Daly dated Tara Reid, an actress. Together since March 2000, they planned to wed during the summer of 2001, but the wedding was postponed due to conflicts with filming of Tara’s next movie. In June 2001, Reid and Daly broke off their engagement. Daly married Siri Pinter, a food blogger and daughter of actor Mark Pinter, on 23 December 2015. They have three children: a son, Jackson James Daly, born on the night of 15 March 2009 [1], and daughters Etta Jones Daly, born at 5:15pm on 6 September 2012 [2], and London Rose Daly, born on the evening of 20 August 2014 [3].
