To be fair, you've added commas which makes it a parenthetical phrase. But yeah - people do speak like this in real life; technically, I should have said no-one speaks like this in non-impromptu speech without sounding stilted.

"Carl said on Thursday" is definitely more idiomatic (to my BrE ears, anyway) than "Carl on Thursday said".

Yeah, I'll agree, without any pauses it's less natural and it's more of a "buying time to think" thing.
