Carson Daly

So much for those Alec Baldwin talk show rumors.

Just days after rumors swirled that the ex-30 Rock star might be taking over for Carson Daly at 1:35 a.m. on NBC, the network has renewed Last Call for a 13th season.

"We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Carson who has broken the mold, creating  his own unique late-night show format with Last Call," NBC President of Alternative and Late Night Programming Paul Telegdy said in a statement.

"The show has  become a platform for emerging artists - and Carson's engaging interview style has made it the place for insightful conversations with an eclectic group of new stars as well as established icons and news makers."

The Voice host Carson Daly and his girlfriend, food blogger Siri Pinter, welcomed a baby daughter, Etta Jones, on Thursday evening just after 5 p.m.

Etta joins the couple's three-year-old son Jack.

"Tonight at 5:15 pm we welcomed the latest addition to our family. Etta Jones Daly weighs 8 lbs and is beautiful! Mom was a rockstar, Jackson James is a proud big bro, and dad's drinking a cold one. Praise God," Carson wrote on Facebook.

The NBC star was able to be by Siri Pinter's side by the end of her pregnancy, since Season 3 of The Voice (premiering next week) had been pre-taped.

"I'm glad The Voice is done shooting right now ... it will give me a minute to breathe. My focus is my family right now," Daly said.

Congratulations to the happy family!

Carson Daly's girlfriend Siri Pinter announced that the couple are expecting their second child. Sounds like she's in prime nesting mode, too.

"The reason I've been baking so much... Look at all those cookies in my belly!" she wrote along with a photo of her adorable baby bump.

"Ok there is a baby in there too, and that baby has been living there for about 5 and a half months already! I am due early September."

"We are beyond thrilled and blessed. I have been eating a lot of cookies."

"Now that the cat is out of the bag, I will also be sharing some very exciting news with you about Monday a little later, so stay tuned."

The duo already have a 3-year-old son, Jackson James Daly ... could they be also tying the knot in the near future? We'll see Monday.

Congratulations to The Voice host and his happy, growing family!

Carson Daly is still feeling the heat for comments he made yesterday morning on his radio show, and this time the source is the mother of a 9/11 hero.

Following Daly's on-air joke that implied gay people were too weak to subdue an airline pilot - in this case, the JetBlue captain, Clayton Osbon, who simply lost control of his senses aboard a flight earlier in the week - Alice Hoagland has penned a letter to the host of The Voice.

Hoagland is the parent of Mark Bingham, one of the passengers on 9/11's United Airlines Flight 93, who helped wrestle control from terrorists and crashed the plane in a Shanksville, Pennsylvania field, saving countless lives in the process.

"Yes, my gay son was known in our family for bringing me flowers on my birthday and Mother’s Day," Hoagland writes. "He also was known for careening down the rugby pitch, and, on the morning of September 11, 2001, for charging unarmed down the aisle of a doomed Boeing 757 to face knife-wielding Islamist thugs in a hijacked cockpit.

On a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas yesterday, a group of passengers were forced to band together and subdue Clayton Osbon, a pilot who simply flipped out, behaving erratically, banging on the cockpit door and screaming out numbers.

On his radio show this morning, meanwhile, Carson Daly referenced the incident.

"Most of the people were on their way to some sort of security conference in Las Vegas," he said. "It was like a bunch of dudes and well trained dudes... thank God."

The Voice host then added, laughing: "With my luck, it would be like... 'this is the flight going to [the gay pride parade] in San Francisco,'" changing his tone to sound more effeminate and saying: "Uh, we're headed down to Vegas for the floral convention."

The implication, naturally? Folks such as that would not have been able to bring down the JetBlue pilot.

A few hours after making the comments, Daly Tweeted an apology: "This morning on my radio show I attempted to make fun of myself & offended others by mistake. I sincerely apologize."

Do you accept this apology? Do you think he should have made one?

The last call Carson Daly will be hearing now will be for a bottle.

Because he hosts a show called Last Call, people. Hello? Is this on?

The late-night talk show host, who you may not have known was still around, and his longtime girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a boy on Sunday night.

Jackson James Daly, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., is the first child for the couple. "Parents are both ecstatic," his rep Heather Lylis said.

"They have a happy and healthy baby boy."

Carson Daly is a dad at long last.

With Daly being such an avid cyclist "friends are already looking for bike helmets for the little one," joked his rep in November when Daly announced the news.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Siri Pinter had worked as an assistant on Carson Daly's show at some point. Workplace romance, nice. Here is a picture of Carson Daly's baby mama ...

Siri Pinter has given birth to Carson Daly's child. Which is totally awesome, even if she doesn't looked too thrilled in this photo. But it's an old picture, so that's cool!

Talk show host Carson Daly, who used to be on MTV but really isn't heard from all that much anymore, is getting ready for a new project: daddy duty.

The Last Call with Carson Daly host, 35, and his girlfriend, Siri Pinter, are expecting their first child, his PR peeps confirmed to The Associated Press.

Congratulations to the presumably happy couple.

Siri Pinter had worked as an assistant on Carson Daly's show at some point. We know nothing about her, but that still ranks her above Tara Reid. Skank.

Here is a picture of Siri Pinter, Carson Daly's baby mama ...

Siri Pinter is carrying Carson Daly's child. That's awesome. She looks pretty cool, although we've only known she existed for 20 minutes, so it's hard to say for sure.

 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.

The cons of being Tara Reid: you can't act and you have a botched boob job.

The pros of being Tara Reid: Sometimes, you look like Kelly Ripa. And formerly popular talk show hosts still show you love.

Indeed, Carson Daly recently talked to People magazine and heaped praise on his former fiancee for admitting past mistakes. The Last Call with Carson Daly host also said he was proud of his ex for speaking out about her plastic surgery.

"I saw her on the Today show recently talking about the whole thing, and I know how nervous she gets for stuff like that â€" it's funny when you know somebody so well â€" but I thought that she handled herself great, and I really commend her for her honesty and stepping up to the plate," Daly said.

Daly and Reid dated for 17 months before splitting in 2001. Carson also dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, but focused the interview on Tara. He said they scarcely keep in touch.

"We don't run in the same circles. But when we do run into each other it's always great to see her, and always very pleasant."

Good. Now, if only Clay Aiken and the aforementioned Ripa could get along as well.

Meanwhile, for those itching for a Daly update: He's been living in Los Angeles and hosting an online program called "It's Your Show." This is in addition to his late-night show on NBC .

"I'm trying to re-enter the human race," Carson said. "All of my rock 'n' roll living at MTV and my fast-paced public relationships â€" a lot of the press that people associated me with was tied in with all of that. And as I got a little bit older and moved on to NBC I thought, 'I've gotta grow up here.' "

Sounds like a lesson Lauren Conrad is also trying to follow. Do we smell a love connection in the making?

Tara Reid regrets her recent boob job because it left a lot of scarring on her cleavage.

The terrible actress also regrets her break-up with TV personality Carson Daly because it left a lot of scarring on her heart.

The couple dated and were briefly engaged in 2000 and 2001 before they separated. Now, the American Pie star admits she'll always lament the pair didn't give romance more of a chance.

"I think, `Well yeah, if I would have married Carson, I'd probably have kids by now … I wouldn't have had all that crazy partying," Reid said. "My life would have been completely different."

That's probably the same way Shar Jackson feels about Kevin Federline.

Fortunately, Reid has perspective on life now:

"But, you know what? If that was meant to happen, it would have … but I've never loved anyone the way I loved him."

Daly, of course, also dated Jennifer Love Hewitt for awhile. Then, he fell off the face of the earth - only to resurface with a hosting gig every New Year's Eve.

Maybe he spends all day online, trying to track down Jessica Simpson. Lord knows we certainly will now.
