Adam Carolla's Health Care Rx: Drug Company Greed Is Good
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyComedian Adam Carolla (formerly Dr. Drew's co-host on "Love Line" and Jimmy Kimmel's on Comedy Central's "The Man Show") now has one of the most popular podcasts in America. It consistently makes iTunes' Top 10 list. Carolla discussed health care reform on his Sept. 9 podcast. His friend and guest Bryan Bishop, who has cancer, was talking about his recent treatments, when Carolla chimed in with this: Well, I know we're in the middle of this health care debate. And I know the big drug companies have all of a sudden become Beelzebub. And I don't know if there's a way to balance this out, or ...
Adam Carolla's 'The Hammer' Is a Hilarious Sports Comedy With a Heart
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsLoyal readers will remember that a few months ago, I expressed my skepticism about the new Adam Carolla boxing movie, The Hammer, which I hadn't seen at the time.Well, now I've seen it on DVD, and I must confess that I was wrong.

New Adam Carolla Boxing Movie 'The Hammer' Doesn't Look Promising
By Michael David Smith - AOL NewsUPDATE: Five months later, I admit I'm wrong.Boxing, more than any other sport, has been fodder for some of the great American films, from Requiem for a Heavyweight to Rocky to Raging Bull to Million Dollar Baby. This, I'd wager, will not be one of the great American films:That was the trailer for The Hammer, the new boxing movie starring Adam Carolla. I like Carolla, but I agree with Sports by Brooks that he's at his best when he's working with a partner, be it Jimmy Kimmel or Dr. Drew Pinsky. As the star in a film, well, it doesn't look promising. Still, it is a boxing movie, and Carolla ...
