Daniel Carver (born 1948) is the Imperial Wizard and Grand Dragon of the "Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," a branch of the Klan operating in Georgia [1] and a frequent guest on the The Howard Stern Show and a member of Stern's "Wack Pack." Carver, who lives in Oakwood, Georgia, served as an infantryman during the Vietnam War. He has appeared on Stern's syndicated television show and the video Butt Bongo Fiesta, and made a guest appearance on the Phil Donahue Show.
Carver is well known for his white supremacist views. While he appears to take himself seriously, Carver is used by Stern as the butt of jokes. Carver considers Jews (whom he calls "the devil") to be the lowest form of human existence, followed by homosexuals, then blacks (whom he refers to as "animals"), then Hispanics (usually prefaced with the term "filthy").
In the 1990s, Daniel Carver had a phone number dedicated to an answering machine that would read off a racist tirade. In 1996, a phone hacker broke into his answering machine while Carver was away at a KKK rally, changing his white supremacist message to a parody of itself. Carver and the hacker subsequently appeared on the show, debating whether or not anyone had the right to change his "important message".
During an interview with the Howard 100 News in early 2006, Carver expressed the view that Howard Stern is not, in fact, Jewish, but that he only claims to be Jewish so that he can get away with being outrageous.
Carver used to review movies on the Stern Show by rating each film with a burning cross as part of a Thursday morning regular feature. Each week, Stern would give Carver a new movie to review: for comedic effect, there were a disproportionate number of Spike Lee and other black-themed movies. During Carver's reviews, a cheery country music-themed bumper, replete with the sounds of chickens clucking, was played, with the following lyrics:
- Well, he's a bigot, a hateful man,
- Daniel Carver from the Ku Klux Klan,
- Movie reviews, bad and good,
- Daniel will review with his white hood!
- When he's not reviewin' a movie he's watched,
- He's wearin' his hood or burnin' a cross,
- This week's movie o-kay-kay?
- Ask Daniel Carver from the KKK!
- Wake up, white people!
Daniel would then review the movie, focusing virtually all his attention on the minorities in the movie and paying little attention to the content or quality of the film, except insofar as a minority character's actions reinforced his prejudices. Howard and Robin would ask him questions to incite tirades of racial stereotypes, or allow telephone callers to abuse Carver on the air. Carver seemed to be oblivious to the fact that his only purpose was to be the butt of jokes.
In 2003 Carver won $20,000 in a Stern Show-sponsored football contest, where he competed against Artie Lange, Gary the Retard, and Sanders the chicken. In 2005, Carver won $10,000 more from the Stern Show participating in a game called Wack Pack Family Feud. Carver and his family beat out Wendy the Retard and her family for the prize.
Carver's self-described main source of income is 'odd jobs'. On September 11, 2001 he was roofing. He also sells hateful knick knacks from a post office box in Oakwood, Georgia.
Most recently in March 2006, Howard Stern featured him on the third installment of Stern's semi-regular roast shows.
Note that there is also a British theatre actor called Daniel Carver (born 1970).
