Craig Carton: podcast appearances and interviews

Craig Harris Carton, born January 31, 1969, is an American radio and television personality known for his prominent role in sports broadcasting. He co-hosted the 'Carton and Roberts' sports radio program on WFAN in New York City and appeared nationally on Fox Sports 1 as the host of 'Breakfast Ball.' Previously, he co-hosted 'Boomer and Carton' on WFAN and CBS Sports Network from 2007 to 2017. During its ten-year run, the show became the most listened to program in WFAN history, especially among men aged 25 to 54. In September 2017, Carton resigned from WFAN following his arrest on charges of securities and wire fraud. He was sentenced to three and a half years in prison; after serving 12 months, he was released to home confinement in 2020 and completed his sentence in 2021. He also fulfilled three years of court-ordered probation by June 2024. Despite these events, Carton was rehired by WFAN four months after his release, where he hosted the highly rated afternoon-drive program with Evan Roberts. He became only the second broadcaster to host consecutive number-one shows in both morning and afternoon drive slots, after Howard Stern. Carton also hosts a podcast and public service show called Hello, My Name Is Craig, which focuses on assisting listeners with gambling addiction and related issues. In October 2024, he was inducted into the New York State Broadcasters Association's Hall of Fame. In January 2026, Carton began his third tenure at WFAN, hosting The Craig Carton Show in the afternoon drive slot alongside Chris McMonigle.
