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. Daniel sells white pride related merchandise by mail that can be purchased from his 50 page catalog.

The Howard Stern Show

Carver is well known for his white nationalist views and is often used by Stern as the butt of jokes, the most prominent of which may be that he is completely oblivious to this. 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"), though he has said that he is "not anti-woman." Carver classifies virtually all minorities on the same level as "Blacks." He stated, in one of his answering phone messages: "...and I think when I say niggers, I also mean Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Asians, Haitians, and all the other dark-skinned, two-legged animals that look like tanned apes, but actually are wild, savage, jungle niggers." However, he opposes violence in any situation. In reference to his belief that minorities are just "animals," he was challenged about the talents of certain minority athletes (such as Tiger Woods, and his ability to play golf better than anyone else); his response was "You can teach a monkey to ride a bike, but that don't make him human." During a phone call on Martin Luther King Day, 2006; he stated that he believes that Stern is not Jewish, but merely says so in order to get away with being shocking.

Past Roles

Carver used to review movies on 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 played, replete with the sounds of chickens clucking.

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.

Recent Activity

In 2003 Carver won $20,000 in a Stern Show-sponsored football pool, 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.

On March 2006, Stern featured him on the third installment of his semi-regular roast shows, considered by fans and staff to be the weakest due to the large percentage of comedians who "bombed," they would later say that it is difficult to roast someone they dislike.

In August 2007, a Daniel Carver Cribs was featured on Howard TV in his home about 50 miles from Atlanta, GA.

Other Attention

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.
