Not sure if this was reported, but the LA Times had an article about Carson Daly, and it mentioned the Prince interview.



Don't have the link, but the relevant part of the article said:



"The host says his most challenging moment for him in the 460-plus episodes of "TRL" was the day Prince came to visit. Not only is the Purple One notoriously difficult to deal with--"He doesn't believe in the concept of time, won't wear a watch, and that can be a problem," Daly says--but there was also a delicate problem facing Daly: Much of his "TRL" audience had no idea who Prince is.



"So I had to say stuff like, "I'm here with someone who has sold over 100 million records, he's a legend in the business," to set it up and sell Prince to my audience," Daly says. "But I also have to be respectful to Prince, who is standing right there. On top of that, he's whack. He's acting crazy, and I'm looking at the camera and want the kids to know I'm in on the joke with them. Very hard."
