Adam Carolla Returns To TV

Variety reports that NBC has ordered a pilot for a sitcom starring our very own Adam Carolla. The show, with the radio personality as a contractor picking up the pieces after his wife leaves him, is another run at a sitcom for Adam, whose pilot “Ace In The Hole” was not picked up by CBS after a pilot was shot last year.

Carolla, who hosted the morning drive show on CBS Radio’s FM talker KLSX-FM until early last year, has more recently become a star in the podcasting world. His other credits include “Dancing With the Stars,” TLC’s “The Adam Carolla Project” and voice work on “Crank Yankers” and “Drawn Together.”

Adam also knows a thing or two about being a contractor, having worked in the construction industry before his big break as a radio personality on KROQ.

Carolla’s former KROQ/Los Angeles co-hort and “The Man Show”/”Crank Yankers” co-creator Jimmy Kimmel and former “Man Show” co-creator-producer Daniel Kellison are among the producers of the show, along with Kevin Hench (co-host of a sports podcast distributed by Carolla’s podcasting company and co-writer of Carolla’s movie “The hammer”), former network executives Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, “30 Rock” producer Jon Pollack, and James Dixon.

Bottom line, congrats Ace. We can’t wait to watch the show. Hurry up and get it on the air already!
