Carson Daly-Backed Online Video Site Launches

Carson Daly, the ex-MTVer and host of NBC’s Last Call — a late night show that depends on viewers who are either inebriated, sick or accidentally TiVo it — is behind The Daily Reel, an online publication created by independent film producer Jamie Patricof and ex-Details executive Jeffrey Stern. Daly is slated to be a regular contributor to the project, which its creators say is driven by a “need to create a viable economic model” in the buzzy online video space.
