Forums - General - Who is Adam Carolla?

Is he a comedian, or racist, or both? I found him on CNN then on youtube and was surprised by many of his comments. What strikes me is the racism on his part and those who commented on his videos. Not only are they the most ignorant (which is why racism exists) but also a bad image of America. It kind of reminds me of comments made towards African Americans. About how they 'turn things ghetto'. While he made some points that I agree on, he crossed the line. I do think ranchera/banda music is the most annoying music on the planet. I really don't understand why Mexicans like that type of music. On the other hand music like: cumbia, salsa, mambo,reggaeton, and Spanish pop and country are better and less annoying. I also agree with how Mexicans fail to adapt. I agree to some extent that Mexicans need to adapt and change their eccentric ways. YOUR THOUGHTS??

I haven't watched the video but the Adam Carolla I know is just a guy who says shocking things for a laugh.  He was pretty good at doing it, too.  I hope he's not racist.  I enjoyed quite a bit of his past work (Love Line, Family Guy, Drawn Together).

He played "Death" on Family Guy and "Spanky Ham" in Drawn Together.  Oh, and I LOVED the Man Show when he was teamed with Jimmy Kimmel.  I actually preferred Adam to Jimmy on that show.



He's a shock comic who just happens to have a new book out.

So.. yeah, book publicity.


Also, i thought he lost is radio show months ago....?

Oh, and also... knowing Adam Corolla. (not a fan of his work though)

The Radio spot was likely just him coming up with the most offensive thing he could think of to piss of the radio station owners who were canceling his show.

Adam Corolla is stupid... and sexist... but pretty sure he isn't racist.



Actually, thinking about it.

I always thought Carolla WAS half hispanic.

Checking Wikipedia seems to agree with me.

Kris Nee Novello sounds hispanic.... and she has a degree in Chicano studies.

So yeah, think he just wanted to piss people off.



i dont actually know...



He was the other guy on that Dr. Drew show and the other guy on that Jimmy Kimmel show.

Hope this clears things up.

I haven't seen much of him since the Man Show, I didn't realize he had a radio show.
