When it comes to delivering hilarious, non-obvious wisdom through a microphone, Adam Carolla is the very best. Yes, Stern is amazing and Terry Gross is the patron saint of the modern interview, but for improvisational spoken-word, Adam Carolla is the unique genius of our time. In addition to a decades-long radio career, he is also a comedian, actor, film director, auto racing enthusiast, and one of the pioneers of the podcasting industry.
Adam entered the national consciousness as co-host of Loveline in 1995 and then went on to co-create and co-host The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel. Since then, he has produced, created, or guest-starred in a plethora of other TV projects, including Crank Yankers, To Catch a Contractor, Celebrity Apprentice, The Car Show, and Dancing with the Stars. As if that’s not enough, he has also written multiple New York Times best-selling books, two of which I recently read, both causing me to laugh until snot came out of my nose.
