Gcanyon: We're in Aspen--do you ski, or snowboard? I broke my back in Aspen two years ago when shooting. So needless to say, we'll be indulging in the winter festivities at the lodge. You won't find me skiing or boarding, 'cause I'm lucky to be walking. Plus Aspen's always cold.

TRLlover4ever: Hey Carson! I was just wondering, would you ever consider a career in acting?

Carson Daly: Never a career solely in it, but I just shot my first movie "Josie and the Pussycats," which comes out April 6th, and I enjoyed it. We'll see. You tell me after you watch it. Write me back, TRLlover!

TRLlover4ever: Hey Carson, who is your favorite celebrity that you've met on your show?

Carson Daly: Jim Carrey - he's really nice, really funny, really tall, really rich and humble. He was really down to earth. Chris Rock is a close second; he was really funny.

Basszbabe: Will you be doing anything for spring break this year?

Carson Daly: Yes. We're going back to Cancun. Different and new shows from last year. It will be my one-year anniversary there, so I'll be enjoying it on many levels, and it will be better than last year.

Basszbabe: Do you want to host something besides TRL?

Carson Daly: No not really. TRL is a handful, but I enjoy doing some of the other music specials that pop up every now and again, like Dave Matthews Band's performance last night.

Starry87: Hey Carson! I love to watch TRL and pretty much any other show that you're in! What types of shows do you like to be in?

Carson Daly: Thank you very much! I love TRL. I think it's like a lot of shows in one. There's nothing else there that could come close to being live, which I love, interviewing cool people, playing music videos, and housing live performances. It's the best of all worlds!

Minnie: Since you're up there at the Comedy Festival, who is the funniest guest?

Carson Daly: I don't know how to answer that. Everybody's funny up here, Minnie; it's a Comedy Festival. I'll let you know when it's over, but I'm having a real fun time.

HBO: Thanks for a great chat Carson, any final thoughts?

Carson Daly: Thanks for chatting! You've inspired me to read my laptop manual! Go buy Exhibit's new album "Restless," and look for a record from Project Pat. And look for the Beat Nuts! Thanks for hanging out. It's been fun!

HBO: Thanks for coming out to chat with Carson Daly. You can catch Carson Daly weekdays on MTV's "Total Request Live," but if you're still suffering from some post-chat laughter, it's okay, you can keep it going by visiting www.hbo.com/comedy for coverage of the US Comedy Arts Festival and plenty more HBO comedy.
