Last call for “Last Call”: After 2,000 episodes, Carson Daly is stepping away from “Last Call.” That means the NBC (very) late-night show is coming to an end.
The move is Daly’s decision, an NBC spokesman told TheWrap. Daly intends to focus on his other jobs, as host of the Orange Room on “Today” and host and producer on “The Voice,” and to spend more time with his family.
During his tenure on all three shows, Daly was working in three dayparts — morning, primetime and late-night.

It is the often-forgotten member of the NBC late-night lineup that stayed clear of the network's recent late-night shakeups. But quietly, Last Call with Carson Daly will reach a decade on the air after NBC announced today that it is renewing the daily 1:35 Am-2:05 Am show for a 10th season with Stewart Bailey returning as executive producer. Additionally, Alex Coletti (MTV’s Unplugged) as the new executive producer of the network’s annual NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly. “I really feel that Last Call has hit its stride," said former MTV star Daly. “I am glad Stewart is coming back because he is incredibly smart and he owes me 35 dollars. Likewise, Alex is great, he produced MTV's 'Unplugged.' He assures me we will have electricity for the New Years Eve show.” Coletti's credits also include the halftime shows for Super Bowls Xxxviii and Xxxv.

Lost in all the Conan O'Brien/Jay Leno NBC late night drama was how it would affect the late, late night host Carson Daly. Well he's back, tonight, with a new Executive Producer (Stewart Bailey, formerly of The Daily Show), the same unique post-studio style, and a star-studded first week of Oscars-related guests. Mediaite talked to Daly about his "near-death" late night experience, the jabs from other late night hosts, the "new" MTV and more.

For a while there, it looked like NBC's Carson Daly would be out of job: If Conan O'Brien had agreed to air at 12:05 a.m. after Jay Leno -- which would have, in turn, pushed Jimmy Fallon to 1:05 a.m. -- there didn't appear to be a need for a (low-rated) show featuring Daly. But now that O'Brien's gone and Leno is set to host The Tonight Show again, NBC appears to be reaffirming its commitment to Last Call with Carson Daly: The network announced today that it hired Stewart Bailey (Daily Show with Jon Stewart) to...

This story proves two things: one, that people still care enough about 'Last Call with Carson Daly' to get a new producer for it, and two, that 'Last Call with Carson Daly' is going to make new episodes again. The show is on hiatus right now because of the Olympics, but even before that, the show was in repeats for weeks. Plus it's on at 1:35 in the morning and kinda goes unnoticed.
As a matter of fact, when there was talk that Leno would go back to 11:35 and Conan and Fallon would be pushed a little later, no one even considered Daly's fate.
But the show is getting a new producer! The Hollywood Reporter says that ex-'Daily Show' producer Stewart Bailey has been named to head the show.

Carson Daly's late-night talk show will not only continue on NBC, but a new producer is coming on board to freshen up the series.
NBC's latest late-night chat show "Last Call With Carson Daly" was considered to be on the bubble during the recent dust-up between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien.
Now the network is set to announce that new episodes will begin March 1, following a six-week hiatus. The first week back will be stocked with guests who are Academy Award nominees.
Former "Daily Show With Jon Stewart" co-executive producer Stewart Bailey will take over as executive producer of the program. Bailey spent 10 years on the Comedy Central hit, rising through the ranks. Bailey starts working on the program this week, replacing David Friedman.
