It was announced in the fall of 2019 that a Craig Carton movie was being filmed by Martin Dunn and Marie McGovern for HBO.

On March 29, 2018, amid his legal battles, Carton launched his new program, “Carton and Friends” with Michelle Serpico on the FNTSY Sports Network, an online broadcaster. In November 2018, Carton was convicted of all charges. He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison and three years’ probation, and was ordered to pay $5 million in restitution.

On March 29, 2018, Carton returned to radio as host of Carton & Friends on FNTSY Sports Network, a Canadian specialty television and streaming service. In May 2018, Sports Byline USA acquired rights to syndicate the program on terrestrial radio.

On Sept. 6, 2017, Carton was arrested by federal agents at his home in New York City on criminal charges of securities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit those offenses. Carton, Michael Wright, and Joseph Meli are alleged to have run a Ponzi scheme that defrauded $5.6 million from investors by falsely claiming they had access to millions of dollars of concert tickets at face value through non-existent agreements with concert promoters. Carton allegedly used the funds from new investors to cover millions of dollars’ worth of gambling debts and to repay earlier investors, according to a parallel civil complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. After receiving an indefinite suspension from WFAN, Carton resigned from the station on September 13, ending his ten-year stint as co-host of Boomer and Carton, leaving Esiason as the sole host. Carton said he made the decision to give his former show “the best opportunity to succeed without further disruption”. He was convicted November 7, 2018, in Manhattan federal court after a week long trial. Sentencing was scheduled for February 27, 2019, before being delayed until March 15. Ultimately, Carton was sentenced on April 5 to three and a half years in prison and ordered to make restitution of $5 million. He reported to the US Penitentiary, Lewisburg minimum-security satellite camp on June 17, 2019, to begin serving a minimum 36 months of a maximum 42-month sentence.

Carton and his wife, Kim, have four children. The couple separated after his 2017 arrest.

On June 4, 2013, his first book, Loudmouth: Tales (and Fantasies) of Sports, Sex, and Salvation from Behind the Microphone, was released.

On June 6, 2013, Carton launched the Tic Toc Stop Foundation, aimed at wiping out Tourette syndrome. Fundraising includes a bowling event known as “Strike Out Tourettes”.

On March 8, 2013, Carton and Esiason were the radio announcer and color analyst, respectively, for an NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards.

In 2012, he was the host of Spike’s MMA Uncensored Live.

He left WKXW in August 2007 for a morning opening at WFAN (AM) as Boomer Esiason’s co-host when Esiason was hired as the permanent replacement for Imus in the Morning. The program, called Boomer and Carton, reached number one (men 25–54) in the Arbitron Ratings within a year, a ranking that Imus had not achieved since 1993. The show was simulcast on MSG Network from September 14, 2010 until September 11, 2013. Starting in January 2014, the show has been simulcast on the CBS Sports Network.

In July 2002, Carton, then became a “Jersey Guy” on New Jersey 101.5.

In late 2000, Carton became Scott Kaplan’s replacement on WNEW-FM’s “Sports Guys” morning radio program in New York City. He was a “Sports Guy” for one year. He worked with Sid Rosenberg and Blain Ensley (and briefly with Eddie Ifft) and then just Ensley when Rosenberg left. Carton took the show in a new direction, adding stunts as an on-the-air cockfight and “Pastapalooza”. Carton was also broadcasting live with Ensley on WNEW during the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Carton began his broadcasting career in 1991 at WGR Radio in Buffalo, New York. He moved from Buffalo to WWWE in Cleveland, Ohio in 1992, and later to 610-WIP in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April 1993. He was a brash weekend host and nicknamed “The Kid.” He filled in on WIP’s Morning Show and was familiar with the Sports Talk/Guy Talk format. He was the first person to break the news story that the Philadelphia Eagles had been sold to Hollywood producer Jeffrey Lurie.
