Wow... Comedy Central really swung and missed with this show... Corolla is just up there making an ass of himself trying to be funny (he's not funny in the least on this show), and I found myself watching through a hole in a blanket... I was embarassed for him.

Anyways, you know a show is bad when the segway into the commercial break is "let's cut our losses and go to commercials." Anyone else seen this show?

I think Corolla is hilarious on Loveline, but he just doesn't seem comftorable in front of a camera. He is just floundering around up there, the audience doesn't respond to the jokes, and it is uncomftorable to watch. He makes a great radio personallity, and did well playing off of Kimmel on the Man Show, but he needs to cut his losses.

I saw a few segments of the show last night and I agree with those of you who said you were embarassed for him. No one laughed at the jokes, and I've heard funnier commentary from my friends and myself watching TV/movies at my house. The poor bastard was kinda just gasping for air the whole time. Spare him and cancel it, I say.

oh don't worry this show will be cancelled. I watched it once and thought, wow this is bad, then watched it again and it was still bad. I really liked corolla on the man show and love line, but this is just awful.

I thought it was just me until I read this post. Adam looks almost nervous up there by himself, I think I saw him shaking possibly. Also I noticed he appears to look at him computer screen a lot, almost like to read the jokes off the screen.

Yeah, it's real bad. I saw it last week, and he was doing some thing where he gave a bunch of countries a motto. I think his plan is that whenever a joke bombs, he curses, just for a cheap laugh.

I've never found the guy to be funny to begin with, except maybe on Crank Yankers. I really can't believe they gave him his own show. I'd rather watch the previous night's Daily Show.

poor adam. there will eventually be a medium in which to display your talents.

Apparently, all the callers are given scripted questions before they go on the air as well.

The episode with Sarah Silverman was pretty funny, it was the only interview he looked comfortable with. Have they cancelled the show yet?
