Hilarie Burton Says She Owes Career, From 'TRL' To 'One Tree Hill,' To 'Fairy Godfather' Carson Daly
"I got out of high school and showed up in New York, and next thing I know, I'm working here, dropping out of college," the "One Tree Hill" star told Tim Kash backstage at Sunday night's "Total Finale Live."

Shortly after winning a competition to star in a segment
of "TRL," Burton was asked to stay on as a full-time VJ. "They've ruined my
childhood and stolen my youth, and now we get to celebrate this tonight," she joked.
She added that without then-host Carson Daly there to show her the ropes, she wouldn't be
where she is today.
"I haven't seen him in forever," she said. "I live down in North Carolina,
where I shoot my show. I'm excited to see Carson. He was like my fairy godfather. He bestowed
this career on me." Burton thinks that "TRL," which she called "kind television," filled a void on TV,
and she isn't sure what will happen now that it's off the air. "We were never out to make
anybody look stupid — we were out to make sure kids had a good time on television with their
friends and their signs," she said.

"Now there's a lot of shock value out there and not a lot
of kindness."
