NBC Shocked to Learn That ‘Last Call with Carson Daly’ is Still on the Air

NBC’s Director of Programming Andrew Fischer admitted Tuesday that he was shocked to learn Last Call with Carson Daly hasn’t been canceled yet.

“I was under the impression that we replaced it years ago with some sort of poker program,” admitted the embarrassed executive.

Last Call has been a ratings disaster since the first episode aired nearly 10 years ago, yet it continues to air five days a week at 1:35am. So what’s the secret to its longevity?

“My show costs nothing to produce, so it’s never in danger of losing money,” explains host Carson Daly. “I haven’t even taken a salary since 2004.”
