Carver is well known for his white supremacist views and is often 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.[2] 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".
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 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.
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. Daniel sells white pride related merchandise by mail that can be purchased from his 50 page catalog.
On March 2006, Stern featured him on the third installment of his semi-regular roast shows.
In August 2007, a Daniel Carver cribs was featured on Howard TV in his home 90 miles from Atlanta.
