Carson departed after Season 4, as the show's production shifted under new showrunners following Willimon's exit.

Creation and Writing for The Morning Show

Jay Carson created The Morning Show, an Apple TV+ drama series examining the internal dynamics and scandals of a fictional morning news program, drawing inspiration from Brian Stelter's 2013 nonfiction book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV, which detailed real-world tensions at NBC's Today show involving anchor .

Carson's contributions drew on his extensive experience as a Democratic campaign operative, including roles as press secretary for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential bid and advisor to figures like Bill Bradley and Howard Dean, enabling authentic portrayals of campaign machinery, media interactions, and crisis management.

The script avoided overt moralizing, instead highlighting causal factors like Hart's and media incentives, with Carson advocating for dialogue that reflected the era's terse, high-stakes communications among aides. Carson's screenplay credit extended to executive producing duties, influencing casting choices like as Hart to capture the candidate's intellectual charisma undercut by personal recklessness.

This approach privileged empirical reconstruction over , aligning with Carson's post-political shift toward storytelling that interrogates power structures without partisan framing.

Jay Carson publicly endorsed 's 2024 independent presidential bid in November 2023, praising him as "kind, honest, and courageous" who understands the "broken system" and possesses the competence to address it, contrasting media portrayals that Carson viewed as misleading.

In this capacity, Carson provided strategic guidance on key operational areas, including campaign staffing, communications strategies, and field operations, often receiving frequent text messages from Kennedy seeking input, such as "Please call Bobby." He contributed to discussions on potential running mates and offered counsel during media controversies, such as Kennedy's comments on defendants, drawing from his experience in Democratic campaigns. Carson maintained his full-time career while advising, emphasizing that issues like vaccines did not personally motivate his support.

He formally joined the staff in 2022 as an instructor apprentice while continuing his professional background in politics and entertainment. As Executive Director, Carson has focused on expanding awareness of BOSS's programs through public engagement, including live Q&A sessions with staff and to address prospective students' inquiries on course realities and skill acquisition. In interviews, he underscores the practical value of core competencies, such as map reading and avoiding panic during disorientation or injury, which he argues equip average adventurers with the confidence to navigate risks without specialized gear. Prior to leadership, Carson described himself as a "hapless weekend warrior" fearful of extended exposure in the woods, a perspective he has leveraged to promote BOSS's as accessible for building resilience rather than requiring elite athleticism. Under his direction, the school maintains its emphasis on fostering interpersonal skills, self-confidence, and reconnection with natural environments through immersive, gear-minimal experiences.

Controversies and Criticisms

Handling of Political Scandals

Carson served as traveling for Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, where he managed rapid-response communications amid controversies including former President Bill Clinton's remarks on Barack Obama's primary victory, which critics interpreted as equating Obama with and invoking racial divisions. Carson defended the comments, asserting they targeted media distortions rather than Democratic rivals, a stance that fueled accusations from opponents and media observers of the campaign engaging in racially charged tactics to undermine Obama. Rival publicly condemned the Clinton operation for "no conscience" in its aggressive approach, prompting Carson to counter that such toughness was essential to match Republican strategies and secure victory. In response to scrutiny over a major fundraiser entangled in legal issues, Carson downplayed vetting lapses, maintaining that the campaign conducted extensive reviews to align with reputable supporters, despite calls for greater accountability. The campaign, under Carson's communications oversight, also issued detailed rebuttals to critical media pieces, such as a Vanity Fair profile portraying Bill Clinton unfavorably, which drew internal Democratic criticism for prioritizing deflection over substantive engagement. These efforts highlighted Carson's role in a defensive playbook emphasizing denial and counterattack, later reflected in his entertainment depictions of political machinery, though contemporaries viewed it as emblematic of partisan spin that prioritized loyalty over transparency. Earlier, as communications director for the William J. Clinton Foundation starting in August 2005, Carson navigated emerging questions about donor overlaps with Hillary Clinton's activities, including unreported charitable gifts on financial disclosures, amid broader concerns over potential conflicts of interest. While specific statements from Carson on these matters are sparse in records, the foundation's practices under his tenure faced Republican-led probes and media scrutiny for blurring lines between and , contributing to perceptions of opacity in Clinton-associated entities. Carson's approach drew mixed evaluations: supporters credited his alacrity in shielding allies from fallout, but detractors, including fellow Democrats, argued it exemplified a win-at-all-costs ethos that eroded public trust, foreshadowing his eventual exit from partisan politics. In a 2010 role as chief deputy mayor of Los Angeles under Antonio Villaraigosa, similar criticisms arose when he aggressively restructured the mayor's business team, ousting personnel and prompting accusations of overreach that hastened his resignation on September 30, 2010.

Media and Harassment Allegations

Carson, perceiving implicit permission from Crawford and concerned about the allegation, subsequently reported it to GMA anchor , who forwarded the information to ABC News executives. ABC News conducted a limited internal review in response to Carson's report but did not interview Crawford at the time, according to details later revealed in litigation. The matter resurfaced in February 2021 when Crawford and another former producer, Jill McClain, filed formal complaints with ABC's department alleging and by Corn, prompting a fuller investigation. Corn departed ABC in April 2021 following the probe, though the network maintained that his exit was not directly tied to the allegations and denied any to address misconduct. Crawford filed a in August 2021 against ABC, , and Corn, claiming the company ignored her 2017 disclosure via Carson and enabled a ; both ABC/ and Corn have denied the claims and sought dismissal of the suit. Carson's decision to report the allegation without Crawford's explicit, subsequent consent drew criticism for potentially overstepping ethical boundaries in journalistic research, with some arguing it may have retraumatized her by escalating the matter prematurely when she had requested additional time to decide. Carson has defended his actions as a to address credible claims of , stating he believed Crawford's sharing of details during the interview constituted permission to act. No formal repercussions befell Carson from ABC or the involved parties, and the incident highlighted tensions in handling off-the-record disclosures in investigative contexts, particularly amid the broader #MeToo movement's scrutiny of media institutions.

At BOSS, which he has directed since August 2024, Carson promotes curricula designed to foster self-sufficiency, emphasizing outcomes like enhanced problem-solving under resource scarcity, as evidenced by participant testimonials and program metrics showing improved self-reported resiliency post-course. He critiques modern reliance on technology and institutions as diminishing individual agency, positing that could enforce a "" akin to BOSS's regimens—typically spanning 7 to 28 days—to prioritize causal realism in over theoretical .
