Former WFAN host Craig Carton speaks in intimate detail about his rise, fall and personal demons in an HBO documentary, "Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth," set to premiere on Oct. 7.
The film includes interviews with Carton's former colleagues and others but primarily is built around the words of Carton himself, from journals he kept during his year in federal prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and interviews since his release in June.
Among the subjects he discusses are the sexual abuse he endured as an 11-year-old at summer camp, his gambling addiction, suicidal thoughts shortly before his arrest in 2017 and his relationship with former co-host Boomer Esiason.
