He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his work in the Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He was born on January 14, 1948, in New Orleans. Carl voiced Combat Carl in Toy Story 4 and played a fictionalised version of himself in a recurring role on Arrested Development.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
