The "1780s Guy" bits were pretty funny.

"So, even when this horseless carriage is not in motion, the wheels appear to keep spinning?"
"Yeah."
"And why does this delight the negro?"
"I don't know."

If the entire show was this kind of stuff I'd watch every day. Give him a Chappelle-like format and he'd be fine. The callers are unbelievably lame. Even a random sampling of Americans shouldn't be that dumb.

That's what I love about Adam, he doesn't keep anything secret behind the scenes. He'll tell you how much he gets paid, if a project of his sucked, or if he hated one of the guests.

"Chad? I've got a retarded cousin named Chad!"

"Switzerland. Just like France, just pussier."

That was a pretty funny segment. Callers definately have to go. Show needs some work, but I will continue to watch.

Last night was OK. Again, get rid of the stupid callers and audience segment. Do a monologue, do a bit of a comedy sketch, do the guest, and end the show. That's ideal for a 30 min. show like that.

Adam is also better when he has someone to riff with. Shorten or abandon the opening monologue, or combine it with a prepared piece, then bring out the guest. I didn't mind the audience questions so much, but the call-in stuff must go.

Is that still on? I forgot all about this. What's the name? Is it part schtick, or all serious remodeling?

It hasn't started yet, to my knowledge.

It's all legit. That's why it's on TLC.

Found this blurb on it:

Yet another TLC show involves a celebrity in a non-celebrity role: "The Adam Carolla Project" follows the former "Man Show" costar showing his skills in his first career, carpentry. Carolla bought his North Hollywood boyhood home. During the course of the series, Carolla remodels it with a handful of non-actor friends with the express purpose of selling the newly reworked house.

"No one has previously done any home improvement shows. They've just done home improvement," Carolla said. The 13-episode series begins at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Oct 5.

Not sure where to ask this(Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are on Love Line) but whats the story with them? If anyone knows...Jimmy was married and had kids, did he just divorce his wife and is now with Sarah? I've always wondered about this since a comedy central roast from a year or two ago..

Sorry if this boggs down the thread. I must know!

Jimmy got divorced from his wife a couple of years ago. Soon there after he hooked up with Sarah. They have been together every since.

Tonight's show, again, good monologue, good guest, and good comedy bit. Ditch the stupid callers. This show has potential. They just need more recorded comedy bits.

It's funny that Adam is doing a TLC show though because whenever he had one of those TLC home improvement people on loveline he would drill them on carpentry knowledge, and they usually failed. Carolla has always done carpentry work though, even after making it in show business he does home renovation and building on the side.

I just watched Thursday night's show. It was very good start to finish. If every show was this good I would watch all the time.

Yep, this one just got the Season Pass. We'll see how it does.

Some of his material this week has been great...the Con Air rant had me in stitches.
