#101: When doing a phone interview with a heavyweight comedian like Larry The Cable Guy, don't cut him off and then keep him on hold for four minutes while you go into a bit about comics being forced to do the acts of others, cracking yourself up the entire time while Larry's mic is shut off. Generosity is a key to being a good radio host and getting guests in the future.
Note to his "news girl" and self-proclaimed "co-host" Teresa Strasser: While it certainly serves you well to polish the apple of your sexist boss Carolla by chirping in with repetitive words of reinforcement, as in...
Carolla: "Larry, we have to do a television show where every comedian has to spin a wheel and do the other comedian's act..."
Strasser: "The wheel of comedy!"
Carolla: "Blather blather blather..."
Strasser: "The wheel of comedy!"
Carolla: "Blather blather blather..."
...this is not exactly Robin Quivers-level radio work.
Adam Carolla, the personal trainer-turned-quasicomic and former sex show wisecracker who was handed Howard Stern's radio slot in LA and a few other markets two long years ago and has driven it into the ground ever since, has recently shown himself open to change, with a reported feminization of his anti-entertainment show and a very "gay" upcoming stint on Dancing with the Stars. So we're sure he'll be open to suggestuons from a group of frequent listeners.

"reported feminization." By some random kid that emailed you that hadn't ever listened to the show until recently. Nice work.
Didn't whoever writes this blog say he doesn't listen to the show?
4:56, it's not deep listening. A quick catch up shows this trainwreck has one driver:
BFF Jimmy Kimmel.
TB has something personal going on, and its been going on for awhile. He's been trying to insult Ace for years, for no good reason (that he's stated thus far). Read his past posts if you want a laugh, his delusions are truly remarkable. And to sum him up - he's a Bonaduce apologist.
^ Hey check your bias at the door. Interruptng a guest to drone on for 4 minutes is a show-killer. Not to mention RUDE.
^ Is Tabloid Baby accusing someone of being rude? Wow.
