Adam Carolla: TV Guide News

Can Carolla Rev Engines as Host of U.S. Top Gear? | Today's News: Our Take | 6/16/2008
Adam Carolla may have been voted off of Dancing with the Stars early on in Season 6, but he's got a new move ready. The comedian will cohost the U.S. port of the British car show, Top Gear, alongside racing expert Tanner Faust and Eric Stromer (who's known for his home improvement expertise, on HGTV's Over Your Head).For Carolla, who pulled off the world's first-ever paso doble (or something approximating it) on a unicycle during his Dancing stint, getting in the driver's seat for Top Gear should be a like a Sunday drive. Shooting begins next week — but will you be revving up for this U.S. edition? The first slew of comments suggest that Carolla leaves your engine cold. — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to rev up for Top Gear. read more
Episode Recap: The Winner is Crowned! | Dancing with the Stars | 5/21/2008
Well kids, this is it! It's been just over two months since this crazy season started and now it's all coming to an end. Who would be taking home the crown and who would go home in utter defeat? More importantly, who is being booted right away and settling for third place? I'm anticipating an interesting (yet long!) night ahead, so let's dive into it one last time!After a short interview with our finalists, Usher entered the ballroom and I shouted with glee. He's sexy and talented and he really hasn't had a song I haven't liked. Despite having a headset, I definitely think he wasn't singing his new hit song "Love in This Club" but that's really fine with me. It's a dancing show and if singing live would have made it hard for him to break it down at the end then he shouldn't have sang. I also think every performer on this show has lip-synched so this isn't abnormal. We've had some pretty great performances this year. Which was your favorite? Then the first big moment of the night... read more
WATCH VIDEO: Dancing Pro Julianne Hough's Music Video | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 4/17/2008
We all know that Julianne Hough really knows how to tear it up on the dance floor as one of the pros (most recently paired with Adam Carolla) on Dancing with the Stars. But did you know Julianne has quite a set of lungs on her as well? Watch as the ballroom beauty goes a little bit country in her brand-new music video, "That Song in My Head."Your take: Do you think Julianne has what it takes to make it in the country-music realm, or is she better off sticking to dancing? read more
Julianne: Adam Was "The Best Thing About This Season" | All Things Dancing with the Stars | 4/9/2008
Sometimes it's useful to look back on the mindset of someone who is about to jump off the cliff known as Dancing with the Stars. Take Adam Carolla, who was the fourth star voted out Tuesday night. Before he learned his first step — before he even met his pro partner, Julianne Hough — he marveled at how a comedian with two left feet ended up on the most famous dance floor in America. Now that he's gone through the fire, Carolla believes that facing the terror of spandex and rhinestones was worth it. "I gotta say, we were about to do our [encore] and I was backstage actually looking forward to it. The first night, I was petrified. But the last night, tonight, I thought, 'This is going to be fun. Mission accomplished.'""He was the best thing about this season," says Hough. And while that statement may be debated, it's clear that Carolla is going to be sorely missed. "He added so much to the show!" moaned Marissa Jaret Winokur. "I don't know what I'm going to do without him... read more
Tuesday's Amateur Hours | Roush Dispatch | 4/9/2008
Midway through George Takei's cheerful yet depressing mauling of a country-music classic last night, I wondered if this is what it would be like to drop acid in Branson, while I was also wondering what a world would be like if so-called stars would be so kind as to keep their hidden talents hidden.No such luck. Look what Dancing with the Stars hath wrought: CBS' cheesy circus of marginal celeb-reality: Secret Talents of the Stars, which premiered Tuesday night as a flat nightcap to a long night of unimpressive reality-show competition. (For Cheers & Jeers' take on this debacle, go here.) Is it wrong of me to think the only truly genuine performance I saw Tuesday night was that adorable 8-year-old couple doing the paso doble as part of the Dancing results-show filler?I’m with Clint Black, who in his affable but instantly forgettable Secret Talents stand-up routine quipped, “You what I can’t stand? These TV shows where people compete and America votes. You know... read more
