I often find myself going to great lengths to defend Adam Carolla.
People will tell me “Oh, he’s that ‘Man Show’ guy … or “he’s too dirty for my tastes.”
I got to know Carolla’s brand of humor through his days as Dr. Drew’s tag-team partner on radio’s “Loveline” show. He proved to be witty, fast on his feet and ultimately smarter than most people would imagine. Sure, he’d throw in a bawdy joke now and then, but more often he’d riff on carpentry tips or weave metaphors that it would take me days to compose.
Movie fans can see that side of him in “The Hammer,” his new movie out now on DVD. The film skipped most theaters, but it’s a funny, sweet “Rocky” story that shouldn’t be missed.
I spoke to Carolla recently about the film - its creation and its inability to get wider distribution. Our chat fueled this Washington Times feature.
