Daniel Carver (born 1948) was the Imperial Wizard and Grand Dragon of the "Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," a branch of the Klan operating in Georgia, a frequent guest on the The Howard Stern Show, an ordained Southern Baptist minister in the Bible Belt, 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, the video Butt Bongo Fiesta, and made a guest appearance on the Phil Donahue Show. Carver's main source of income is 'odd jobs'. He also sells knick knacks from a post office box in Oakwood, Georgia.

Answering machine hacked

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". In 1997, Carver appeared on The Jerry Springer Show in an episode entitled "Quit The Klan". Unsurprisingly, Carver did not quit the Klan.
