The latest affair of Rolling Stone goes abaft the scenes of NBC's hit singing antagonism The Voice, which alternate endure night for its additional division afterwards the Super Bowl. We bent up with the show's host, MTV and NBC backward night adept Carson Daly, to babble about how he became a allotment of the appearance admitting not getting a fan of added singing contests.
I was told that you had some agitation about signing on to a music appearance afterwards your time at TRL.I never watched Idol. The aboriginal canicule of Idol for me, advancing from MTV and TRL and accepting been a music administrator at KROQ in Los Angeles, I was at the centermost of breaking music in accepted culture. At that time, it was radio and MTV. If absoluteness television absolutely hit, I just had a backfire appear reality. It seemed like a bargain way to accomplish a product. And afresh if music absoluteness and Idol hit, I just didn't watch it, it seemed novelty. And of advance the adventure of Idol, this is one of the greatest belief in television history.
I was central NBC casting them, and I'm like, "Oh hey, I could be the new Barbara Walters." I could hustle this fucking arrangement for years, I'm not even shy to acquaint you. I was in a affair with them and they were like, "We anticipate we accept a appearance for you," and they gave me the Dutch adaptation of The Voice. I'm acceptable now – if you had put that in foreground of me 5 years ago, I would accept taken it out of desperation. Now I've got a acceptable radio career traveling again, my ancestors is aboriginal and foremost, I'm older, I'm wiser, I don't charge to ability for lower blind bake-apple anymore, I'm not afraid to say no. But I watched the band [of the Dutch show] and I absolutely did like it. I saw that this alloyed aggressive arts fighter, this tatted-up guy who sang Kings of Leon, and it blew me away. I anticipation the chairs were a little contemporary at aboriginal and afresh I was like, it's a abundant angle for accepted culture, because humans just get on lath with that. The appearance has abyss and it is a absolutely important accessory to abstracted us from Idol and X Factor.
Have you been approached about accomplishing added shows like this?At this point, I don't even remember. I'm on at 1 in the morning on NBC, I adulation that gig – I get to put bands on. No one even knows I'm there. Literally. I anticipate they address me a analysis and didn't apprehend I was there, until The Voice. I adulation Last Call. It took me a little bit to amount out that I wasn't traveling to be that guy in a clothing cogent address jokes.
I stumbled into this architecture for Endure Call that I absolutely like, aggressive by cable and Dave Attell's Insomniac. I adulation getting out on the street. I was like, fuck it, I'm traveling to do the backward night appearance that I absolutely wish to watch and it's just me interviewing accidental people, in any array of scenario. It's like This American Life, adventure telling, a faculty of analysis and new music. The bowl tectonics of media accept confused area NBC had to become a new media aggregation from an old media company. And there were guys like me in the architecture who had to accomplish like new media. I had to plan in the new archetypal because I'm affected to plan in it.
[The success of The Voice] is still so new for me. I've been actuality for about ten years, I've never gotten added Christmas cards from NBC people. It's swanky. It's crazy.
One of the things that is altered about your role on the articulation is that Seacrest on Idol affectionate of would get into fights with the board and you are added in your own space. The acceptable affair is that I'm not afflicted by Ryan. I've never absolutely watched Idol. I apperceive it seems like the air-conditioned affair to say but I absolutely haven't. I'm not alive off the anatomy of advertence of Ryan. I mean, I've apprehend about catfights, but this show's archetypal is different.
When the reside episodes of The Voice hit, you absolutely seemed like you were in your zone.
I don't absolutely apperceive how to do them. I don't affliction if I go to my grave with humans never compassionate my talent, but it can be difficult to plan in a actual big amphitheatre like a reside appearance on NBC. I mean, it's appealing stressful. The arrangement is traveling all in on this move, and I apperceive what it's like to be the cartage cop of that. There are a lot of affective parts, but if I can accomplish it attending simple and effortless and talentless to some degree, if you will, afresh I accept done my job, and if cipher absolutely understands that, it's fine. Because I apperceive if I anytime put an IFB on anyone criticizing me and put them in the centermost of that circuit, they'd apparently bits their pants.
