Carson Daly: On the Sanjaya Malakar Bandwagon

 TV host Carson Daly has seen both Tara Reid and Jennifer Love Hewitt nude.

It's hard to say how that affects his judgment, but the former MTV video jockey has chosen a surprising American Idol favorite this year.

"I'm just enjoying it now because of this whole idea that [Sanjaya Malakar] might win," Daly told People magazine Thursday at a party for the five-year anniversary of his show Last Call at Social Hollywood.

Daly is impressed by Malakar's style more than his singing skills. Of course, he may wish to change his vote to Olivia Mojica now that her sex tape has been leaked.

"I think there's a lot of people like me that may not watch it every single week"or have a deep passion for American Idol, but now we're hooked," Daly said, "because of this idea that this guy's got a new haircut every day."

So there you have it, folks. American Idol has been reduced to fans cheering on haircuts over vocal talents. No way this bodes well for Melinda Doolittle.
