'The Voice' comes within calling distance of 'American Idol'

By Gary Levin and Bill Keveney, USA TODAY

NBC's singing competition is a whisper away from achieving the unthinkable: unseating 11-season Fox juggernaut American Idol from its ratings throne, particularly among the key younger viewers that networks and their advertisers covet.

Monday's episode drew 16.3 million viewers, just 13% shy of last week's Idol average, and matched those Idol episodes among ages 18-49 while beating it among the younger half of that group. A big help: NBC's season opener Feb. 5 enjoyed a record-setting Super Bowl lead-in, which delivered nearly 38 million viewers to the show.

GETTING TO KNOW . . .

 

THE HOST

 

 

Carson Daly serves as host and producer on "The Voice," NBC's hit reality vocal competition series that searches for the nation's best voice. He is also the host of NBC's long-running, late-night talk show, "Last Call with Carson Daly," which is currently celebrating its 11th season to record ratings. Daly is a pioneer of pop culture across a multitude of media, including network television, radio, the recording industry and digital. In addition, he continues to host his top-rated morning drive radio program on 97.1 AMP FM Los Angeles.

Daly began his career in radio in the early 1990s, quickly moving up the ranks as an on-air deejay in five different cities within his first five years. Shortly thereafter, he landed one of the most coveted positions in the business - that of the early evening voice of Los Angeles' influential and top-rated KROQ-FM. MTV soon recognized his talent and brought him to New York City.

It was at MTV that Daly became distinguished for his roles as gracious host and trendsetter and ultimately planted the seed to become the entertainment icon that he is today. His popularity exploded in the era of 'N Sync, Britney Spears and Eminem, as part of the show that changed the landscape of music and television. As host and executive producer of MTV's "Total Request Live" (TRL), he transformed an afternoon music video program into a must-stop on the publicity circuit for musicians, movie stars and entertainers alike. It was Daly's guy-next-door charm that made him so appealing and, more so, trustworthy, as he entered living rooms daily to offer exactly what the audience desired. His reputation as pop-culture tastemaker was cemented.

In January 2002, Daly's loyal fans followed him to NBC and tuned into his late-night television show "Last Call with Carson Daly," which will enter its 11th season as a part of the network's top-rated, late-night lineup. Re-writing the rulebook for late-night television, Daly has taken his show out of the studio and on location every night. The strategically curated bookings extend to a wide array of great storytellers, inspired by Daly's adoration for the acclaimed "This American Life" program. To date, this season boasts ratings up by nine percent in 18 - 49 viewers and 24 percent in total viewers.

While the show boasts diverse bookings in the worlds of entertainment, politics and sports, it is the progressive music bookings that have earned Daly his bragging rights among the late-night crowd. Since day one, "Last Call" has been the show that gives many of the hottest bands their first break on U.S. television, including The Killers, Maroon 5, Ray LaMontagne, Modest Mouse, 30 Seconds to Mars, B.o.B and many more.

For the seventh year, Daly and Universal Television produced the annual New Year's Eve primetime special "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" as they rang in 2011 live from Times Square. As executive producer, Daly has led the broadcast on all NBC platforms - both on and offline. Past musical performances have included Rihanna, Jay-Z, Green Day, Sir Elton John, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Avril Lavigne, Panic! At The Disco, The Ting Tings and Lenny Kravitz.

In January 2010, Daly returned to his radio roots and currently hosts morning drive from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. Monday - Friday on KAMP (97.1) in Southern California.
