In the fall of 2006, Carlson participated in the reality show Dancing with the Stars, which aired on the ABC television network.

He didn't get enough votes to remain on the show and was eliminated, making many of his enemies very happy.

"Having decided that neither the good nights nor the awful mornings were helping his life," Carlson stopped drinking alcohol in 2002. Years ago, he gave up smoking and switched to nicotine gum, which he buys in bulk from New Zealand and "constantly chews." Carlson is dyslexic and left-handed.
