Carson is an old family name, though my grandma used to watch Johnny all the time and was crazy about him.
Everyody stands - that's our policy. If Jesus Christ comes on the show, guess what? It's like, 'Stand right here Jesus, we got Papa Roach coming up at number six.'
I don't have a sidekick - no Ed McMahon. So when I go out there, I'm lonely. It's scary.
I really like it that they promote from within.
I'm developing a record company. I'm learning how to supervise music on a film.
I'm learning, but my strength is more as a straight man, and the comedy goes on around me - it brings a fresh approach.
It really makes me respect people like Madonna or U2-people who've lasted 20 years and stayed at the top of their game. It takes a lot of courage to reinvent your sound.
It was really fun being in Tara's trailer, working on my lines. Tara is such an amazing actress. She's so good at what she does. I learned a lot from watching her.
It's hard to be a breakout show and stay on top. We're like the flagship show over here.
It's important for people to realize I don't want to be the It guy. I want to crawl before I walk. I want to learn about things before I jump into them.
MTV was such a great training for me. I did live interviews with everyone from Michael Jackson to Madonna.
No one's on at my time but infomercials.
The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something.
You have to change the set, stay ahead of the curve.
