Last Call with Carson Daly is a late night talk show hosted by former MTV VJ Carson Daly. The series debuted in 2002, replacing reruns of SCTV that once followed Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Unlike its contemporaries, Last Call is only a half-hour long show, leaving for very little comedy sketch room. When the series first debuted, Daly forwent the typical standards of a monologue and house band in favor of getting straight to interviewing the celebrity du jour followed by a musical guest. It followed this format for the bulk of the series tenure in New York when it was filmed in Studio 8H alongside Saturday Night Live. When Daly moved the show to Burbank, California, it adopted a more traditional format.

In 2007, Last Call became the first late night show to return with new episodes in the midst of the heated writers strike. With no writers left to work on the show, Daly has once again excised the monologue and has replaced it with some adlibbed bits from the desk. After filling the time between the intro and the first commercial, Daly goes to the interview and eventually the musical guest. These episode have no announcer or any sketches that would require writing.

The show will come to an end, with A Little Late with Lilly Singh replacing it in fall 2019.
