Full Carson Daly Biography
| Abandoning asipirations to become a priest, Carson Daley dropped out of Los Angeles' Loyola University to pursue his golf career. He played against Tiger Woods in the American Junior Golf Association, but obviously wasn't that good and latched onto an internship at a radio station instead. Various DJ gigs eventually led him to MTV at age 24. Eminem has forever immortalized him (and Fred Durst) in an unflattering tribute to Christina Aguilera. |
