FYI, Carson Daly started at KROQ in LA, as did quite a few other people at MTV. He used to do the late night "electronica" show. I think it was on Saturday nights around 11pm. I remember seeing him at a KROQ Weenie Roast, and he was very excited to be presenting Chemical Brothers on the main stage. That was when electronica was really big (Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, etc.).

He seems to have gone straight from there to MTV. I don't get it. But, then Kennedy did the same thing. She was an intern at KROQ for like 6 months, then just like that, a VJ on MTV.

Maybe MTV gets all the KROQ rejects?
