  • It's been a long time since I've seen Carson Daly, and holy fuck he's just as big of a douche as I remember. Wow. Douche.

  • love elliott he's a truly peaceful and insightful man and a great saddening loss =[

  • @thedancingfork - That was probably a rhetorical question, but to answer that, they already have a list of topics and limited time, so the conversation is directed and is done so in a hurry. The interviwer is expected to be the professional at interesting conversation (can't be said for all, hence this interview) to attract viewers, because viewers are money. Remember, the lack of passion for most interviewers means exactly that; they don't give a shit about the music or talent.

  • damn, Carson Daly is a douchebag. hahaha

  • Only Johnny Rotten could be more of a challenge to interview...At least that dipshit Carson came off looking like half a fan of his music.

  • @lboygrace I have to gently challenge your statement; carson is imply far to simple to interview anyone ... Take the very first 'tattoo' question. What an ocean of possibilities it was; to explore, to elaborate, to examine this brilliant Ferdinand metaphor. And what did we get instead? 'Awesome'. I have nothing against imbeciles like daly, as long as they stay away from guns, politics, TV, hospital, restaurant, prison services and cash registers.

  • I wish interviewers would just let them talk instead of trying to GUIIIDE the conversation....why do they always do that?

  • Dear Carson Daily, You're obviously getting to close to him, and it's making him nervous. Back off. -.-

  • God Carson is a dumb tool.

  • elliott smith was a genius. it was like everything he said and did completely flew over carson daly's head, as well as everyone else at mtv
