Info

Too Late with Adam Carolla was a late night talk show hosted by Adam Carolla and produced by Jackhole Industries, a team made up of old collaborators: Carolla, Jimmy Kimmel, and Daniel Kellison. The show, which mixed celebrity interviews, chatty everyday observations, scripted sketches, and phone conversations with viewers, premiered on August 8, 2005 in the 11:30 p.m. time slot on Comedy Central. The show struggled to find an audience, averaging fewer than 700,000 viewers, a poor performance that Carolla jokingly acknowledged on air. On September 20, the show was moved to 12:00 and the live audience was dropped. The show got its highest ratings when Steve-O of Jackass and Wildboyz fame came onto the show intoxicated and tackled Adam while yelling obscenities. The last episode aired in November 2005.

Too Late with Adam Carolla Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
GazerRise Fantastic!
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
misc2-1 I think this show is actually quite funny. Corolla has a cutting, witty sense of humor. I bet most of the people who are criticizing the humor need other people to tell them what's funny. Watch John Stewart's Daily Show and listen to the laughs. He just makes a stupid face and everyone goes crazy. They must drug their studio audience. Corolla on the other hand turns down the volume of his audience--it's much more realistic.Also Corollo specializes in intellectual/sarcastic humor (as opposed to humor based on strong emotional reactions). It may not provoke belly laughs, but that doesn't mean it's not funnier than material that does.Corolla tends to have lower-profile guests: second-tier comedians like Patton Oswald instead of top tier celebrities like Tom Hanks or John McCain. Most people probably don't like this, but it does lower the tension level and make the show more laid back, relaxed, and less like your stereotypical talk show.
Chromium_5 This is a refreshing show. I realize a lot of people hate it, but that's probably because they're used to perfectly executed, super-smooth shows like "The Daily Show" (and remember, when that got started, they didn't know what the hell they were doing, either). "Too Late" is just a guy rambling on aimlessly with his guest. The complete randomness and awkwardness bring it down to a personal level. It feels like the type of show YOU would do with your friends. Adam seems like a pretty down to earth guy, and I admire the way he really doesn't seem to care how slipshod the show is; he's just talking with his guest and enjoying himself. He keeps trying new things, and I imagine that if they keep this on the air long enough, it will evolve into a pretty good show. I am liking this so far, and I'm interested to see where they go with it.
MovieAddict2016 "Too Late with Adam Carolla" is not a hilarious late night talk show. Personally, I'm kind of glad it isn't. The program's laid-back attitude makes it come across as a really casual, fun little TV show. You're awake at 11:30 and can't get to sleep? Watch some Adam Carolla. It won't put you to sleep, but it's a nice un-winder.Sure, as some of the others have pointed out here on IMDb, Adam's show isn't that funny. It's got a lot of lapses. Sometimes the jokes are downright unfunny and the guest interviews are simply bad. The Ying-Yang Twins episode was a perfect example of poor management - the Ying-Yangs' manager should have made sure they weren't high before they went out there. You can actually see Adam's face contort as the interview goes on and, desperately, he fumbles for something to say or do to save it. The interview isn't funny, isn't insightful, isn't played out well - I didn't even know what was going on.Adam's still learning the ropes of his show and messes up a bit, most noticeably with the telephone calls. It's obvious the writers have created a catchphrase for him to say every time they "go to the phones" (I forget what the exact words are) and Adam keeps forgetting. He also seems to pause a lot, like he's kind of making stuff up as he goes along. (This is part of what gives it a laid-back aura.) I won't be surprised if this bombs completely and gets canceled. The audience isn't very "into it." The show is quite lazy in its production and feels like it was started by a bunch of drunken pals who decided to air their best buddy and his thoughts on life. But this is part of what I admire about the show. In a time when all late night programs are spit-polished clean and nothing goes wrong, this feels awkward and clumsy - Adam seems like your best friend and that's what resonates more than anything else. I'll keep watching it even if no one else does.
Guy Having never really found an appreciation for The Man Show or Love Line, I really thought I wasn't going to like this show but I gave it a try as I had just finished watching the Daily Show and was curious about what CC decided to follow it with this time. I was most pleasantly surprised.Adam Carolla's big step up from the poorly executed Man Show is satisfyingly simple. Every night Adam lets us know what's been bugging him lately, takes some calls/questions from the audience, makes fun of the audience member if needed, and interview's somebody.I know, it sounds boring doesn't it? I really thought it would be but as it turns out Adam Carolla is a real pisser when you get him on his own. His social commentaries are relevant, intelligent, and brilliantly funny. Pretty original (comments) too: he's only the second person I've heard (on TV) make the "baby-food is a gateway to obesity as pot is a gateway to crack" analogy (although he worded it differently). "Of course it's a gateway drug, everyone's had it." Not nearly as polarizing as Colin Quinn's show (which formerly took that slot) or the Daily Show, Too Late attacks the things we all have a problem with, like the war on drugs, censorship, and gas prices. Some of the issues that Adam brings up aren't as universal and can sometimes slow the show down a bit. That's when you'll see him take a call or even just choke which he makes funny in his own way. At least it was funny the first of time.I only caught 3 shows from the middle of the first week on air but all three shows had the exact same format. This is something that's going to have to change. Not because there aren't enough assaying things to make fun of that go on in this country, lord no there's plenty. But they're really going to have to try harder to keep people interested in the show rather than the 100s of other late night talk shows. I'd be really surprised if Adam can keep the same simple format going for very long.So give it a look or two (as the show is hit or miss: from what I hear, the first episode was a real bomb) even if you're not a fan of Carolla's previous work. You might just end up staying awake another half hour like me.
