Ugh, I totally thought of Carson Daly first....but you gotta cut me some slack
No.
I've never watched an episode of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Me either. I didn't know anything about any of these people till BBC Prime (sat. channel my grandparents got in Spain) started showing The Tonight Show and Late Night With Conan. It was my first real reconnection with American culture, and I loved it. The only TV channel I'd had that wasn't in Catalan or Spanish was Cartoon Network during the day, which became TCM at night, and I was hungry for entertainment that seemed a little more familiar than everything I was immersed in. It's a bit of a strange, somewhat lonely existance to be thrust so completely into another culture, two different languages, etc. Especially since we lived in small towns where everyone had grown up together since birth, so there were all kinds of inside jokes and history I wouldn't have understood even if been a Catalan boy from another area, let alone an English/American kid who had no idea what anyone was saying (at least at first). And I'm rambling so I'll stop.
Man you hung up the Spelling Nazi badge just the other day, and now you're all the way over in the other camp?
To answer the question in short, though: No. Carson Daly doesn't actually matter.
Oh I'm still the same old pedant, it's just that he matters so little that I'm kind of happy to spell his name wrong. It did occur to me to check the spelling after Zoomie's post, cuz I wasn't at all sure, but the idea of opening another browser, putting his name in, and then spelling it correctly seemed like FAR too much effort for Carson fucking Daly. See, now that I know the correct spelling, I can't willingly spell it incorrectly. But yesterday I was blissfully ignorant.
The Superficial writer pretty much sums up my feelings:
