Today is the last day the Adam Carolla Show will be on the air. The folks at CBS Radio have decided to change his station’s format to top 40, and Adam is out. I’d like to heave a Shaq-sized 23 at the whole lot of ‘em.I mentioned before that while I still listen to Howard Stern regularly, it’s obvious that Howard has drifted into semi-retirement, working abbreviated weeks, and mailing it in on the days he actually comes in to work. Blame the half-billion dollar contract and a happy marriage for dulling his once relentless edge. Great example: Howard had an ugly, gut-hating feud with Chevy Chase for years. Cut to the new, pussified Howard, in which Chevy gave a toast at Howard’s wedding. Weak.
Adam took Howard’s format and made it brilliant, with sharp, witty observations on any subject imaginable. Unlike Howard, Adam is an every man. Howard, and his whole staff for that matter, have become millionaires. Their blue-collar audience can’t relate.
My days won't be the same without the Carolla fix. This both sucks and blows.
Bombs away, CBS. Watch your back.
