Daly reflects on his Last Call experience, and says he's glad to have found something else to do after MTV -- especially a late-night show, an arena where big names like Magic Johnson and Chevy Chase have failed. “If you’d told me, ‘We’ll give you a choice: You’re going to have the biggest talk show in the history of mankind and you’ll have it for six years, or you’ll have a show that probably the majority of people aren’t going to know about but we’ll guarantee it will be on for twice as long,’ I would take the latter every time,” he says.
