All of a sudden, Adam Carolla is everywhere - The Boston Globe
As a young man, Adam Carolla believed ''something" -- preferably memorable and funny -- would break for him in show business by the time he was 30.
At the time, the best work from the born-in-Philly, raised-in-LA carpenter-turned-comedian was appearing on local floors, walls, and roofs, not on national radio and television programs; the closest he was coming to the big time on a regular basis was listening to talk radio as he pounded nails or spread roof tar.

 Adam Carolla 106.9 Free FM Blog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Adam realizes what a good thing profiling is. He met an 18-year-old girl who he let right into a secured building because she didn’t trip any of the cognitive alarms that would tell you that someone is dangerous.
Adam doesn’t know that he can settle this over the phone, but he does know one thing: next week, they’re going to hear the other side of the story, and it’s most likely going to end with the show sending them out a new radio.
Adam never really figured out the “rules of drinking” until he was about 35, because he didn’t go to college, but there are certain things that everyone should know about it.

 TLC :: Adam Carolla Project
Long before the one-and-only Adam Carolla became known for his work in television and radio, he was a bona fide carpenter working with a crew of his misfit friends.
Adam’s self-described "horribly ill-fated plan" for the The Adam Carolla Project is to buy a house with his own money, renovate it with his crew of "unemployable idiots," as he describes them, and then try and sell it for a million dollars.
From Oswaldo, the lovable Nicaraguan who only Adam can understand; to Ray, the group jokester who likes to do masonry projects in his bare feet; to Gary, who lives off the grid in the backwoods, miles outside Los Angeles, this motley crew of supporting characters ups the comedic ante as the project unfolds.

 Asian Media Watch | Adam Carolla Offends with "Ching-Chong" Parody of The Asian Excellence Awards
Adam Carolla can be heard on six radio stations operated by CBS Radio (formerly Infinity Broadcasting), a subsidiary of CBS Corporation, parent company Viacom.
Despite Carolla’s on air apology to the APIA community during his February 22 broadcast, the Alliance felt the need to meet with the executives to discuss the sincerity of the apology and several requests that were not addressed by CBS Radio in letters sent after the incident.
One of the first steps is for Guy Aoki, founding president of Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) to appear on the Adam Carolla show this Wednesday, April 26 at 9 am along with Teddy Zee, co-chair of the Asian Excellence Awards which Carolla parodied by using the “ching chong” recordings in January.

Adam Carolla is supposed to be the funny one (if you like Andrew Dice Clay, you'll love Adam!), and Dr. Drew Pinsky plays the straight man. Very straight, and narrow too, it appears, since the "factual" advice he proffers about women includes the following gems.
I think the problem is that Adam Carolla acquired a horde of 14-year-old worshippers who hang on his every word and think he's the smartest, funniest person who ever lived.
Adam and Drew, please retire and let someone else who isn't so burned out and contemptuous try to help the troubled kinds who are foolish enough to ask you for advice, under the mistaken impression that you actually care about them.

 Washington Blade Online
TALK SHOW HOST and comedian Adam Carolla always seemed like one of those guys who, despite his chest-beating, beer-guzzling, girls-on-trampolines-watching machismo from defunct Comedy Central show “The Man Show,” would be OK hanging out with gay people.
Carolla seems like the type of guy who is so comfortable in his orientation that he wouldn’t think twice about watching a football game with a gay friend.
On a recent episode of his caustically unfunny Comedy Central talk show “Too Late with Adam Carolla” he joked to comedian Lisa Lampanelli that he would love to be gay so that he could drive a two-seater, not have kids and spend all of that fabled disposable income.

 Hyphen Blog: Teased Kids in Grade School? You Have a Future in Radio!
Last Tuesday on Adam Corolla's radio show, he and his sidekick were commenting on the Asian Excellence Awards, put on by AZN TV.
Regarding the Carolla bit specifically: the reason I found it offensive and not merely silly is because there is no show of sensitivity in the piece.
To Theo's post: Regardless of whether Adam Corolla is talent or more, it's his name on the billboards so for everyone not as media-savvy as regular blog responders (ie most people), he is seen as the driving force of the show, not the show's producers or staff or writers.

 Newsvine - Adam Carolla hangs up on Ann Coulter
On yesterday’s Adam Carolla radio show, Ann Coulter called in to the show an hour and a half late, then told the host "I am really tight on time."Carolla responded, "All right, well get lost" and then hung up on her mid-sentence.
It's small news, but some people are denigrating Adam Carolla by asking who he is, claiming that his show must be small and insignificant, etc. The air is vibrant with the cognitive dissonance.
And yes, Adam, she did probably know or think that he may have been planning to give her a hard time, and I doubt as well that she'd be late for any of the biggies.

 Metroblogging Los Angeles: Adam Carolla... Funny Or Racist?
Carolla's bigger problemn is that he is mind-numbingly, somebody-please-hit-me-in-the-head- with-a-shovel boring.
I've always been somewhat biased against Carolla simply because I was always annoyed that Lovelines went on after The Poorman left it, and was definitely annoyed that it went on to be a TV show on MTV when it was nowhere near as entertaining as the original show had been with The Poorman.
Aside from that though, Carolla's just irritatingly smug, and I always feel like he considers his audience to be a necessary evil and that he doesn't like or appreciate what his audience means to him.

 Parasite Regrets Choosing Adam Carolla As Host | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
LOS ANGELES—Just two weeks after settling on Adam Carolla as its next host, a Los Angeles–area hookworm whose lifecycle depends on the performance of the comic personality's digestive system said it is beginning to question Carolla's ability to stay fresh and produce consistent, quality nutrients on a daily basis.
The hookworm first came into contact with Carolla during his morning radio program, while Carolla was handling human fecal matter as part of a popular recurring segment on his show.
According to the hookworm, nearly everything that crosses Carolla's lips is either bland, disgusting, or completely and utterly tasteless.
