Last Call with Carson Daly

Last Call with Carson Daly is an American late night television program hosted by Carson Daly and broadcast on NBC. Formerly a traditional talk show, the half-hour program consists of several produced segments, featuring interviews with musicians, filmmakers, and other artists, along with pre-taped on-location musical performances. It airs weeknights at 1:35 a.m. Eastern / 12:35 a.m. Central; it also airs weeknights a second time on the cable channel, Fuse. In 2003 and 2004, Last Call was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for "Choice TV Show - Late Night". Last Call premiered in 2002 as the... successor to Later. Last Call initially aired Monday through Thursday until the cancellation of Late Friday in the summer of 2002. Last Call was originally taped in Studio 8H of the GE Building in New York City, which was also the home studio of Saturday Night Live. However, this required the producers to work around the schedule of Saturday Night Live. During this phase, Last Call had no house band and no jokes or monologue, going straight to the first guest at the beginning of the show. The stage was setup in an empty black box theater style, save for two low-slung chairs and a small table.
