ADAM CAROLLA

ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY
Times best-selling author. He currently hosts THE ADAM CAROLLA SHOW, which holds the
Guinness Book of World Records for “most downloaded podcast." Adam started THE ADAM
CAROLLA SHOW podcast from his home office in Feb. 2009. The podcast now receives more
than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine,
Entrepreneur, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.
After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern
California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym, Adam traded on that for an opportunity to coach
boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would
officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ's hit morning
show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program LOVELINE
with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by
Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel
Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, THE MAN SHOW
(1999-2003) and CRANK YANKERS (2002‐2005). He later took that construction acumen into
the television world with TLC’s THE ADAM CAROLLA PROJECT, which saw him and old
construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home, Spike TV’s TO CATCH A
CONTRACTOR where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work, and
ADAM CAROLLA AND FRIENDS BUILD STUFF LIVE where he coached celebrity guests on
various DIY challenges.
Adam became a New York Times best-selling author when his book, IN 50 YEARS WE’LL ALL
BE CHICKS, topped the charts for ten weeks. The audio version went straight to the #1 position
on iTunes. He has since written five more books including New York Times Best Sellers NOT
TACO BELL MATERIAL and PRESIDENT ME. Adam also co-wrote, produced and starred in
two independent feature length films: THE HAMMER (2007) and ROAD HARD (2015), a
crowd-funded comedy that raised over a million dollars in a single month. Through his venture
Chassy Media he produced the inspirational documentaries WINNING: THE RACING LIFE OF
PAUL NEWMAN, UPPITY: THE WILLY T. RIBBS STORY and THE 24-HOUR WAR, which
documents the battle between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960’s for racing dominance at Le Mans.
Along with hosting his daily podcast, Adam headlines Clubs, Theaters and Casinos nationwide
as a stand up comic touring his particular brand of common sense comedy that will air as his
first Stand Up special on Fox Nation in the Winter of 2025.
