He routinely has interesting guests on their all the time that aren't "big" enough for other late night shows to book and lots of musical guests that are on the verge of breaking into the mainstream. So folks like Lee Daniels, Roger Ross Williams, Idris Elba, Charlie Hunman, Morena Baccarin and others get some face time. Plus he's a bit of a geek so it's pretty common to see familiar faces from the world of sci-fi pop up on there from time to time.
Recently he had Lupe Fiasco on talking about the climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro that he Kenna, Santigold, Jessica Biel and others took to raise awareness about the worldwide safe drinking water initiative. I'd been following the the story for a while and it was cool to hear about the climb and the reasons that he got involved with the charity. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@...> wrote: > > You actually watch Carson Daly? > > On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 7:01 AM, B Smith <daikaij...@...> wrote: > > > The music is beautiful and Prudence's incredible story of overcoming almost > > insurmountable odds gets you in the heart.
