It’s cold, it’s almost Christmas, and for some reason, it’s not the happiest time of year. I have nothing profound to say about it. Today just sucks. You know when you have to go spend time with people during the holidays that you would rather not spend time with? Well that’s what I have to look forward to today. So I’m less than thrilled at the moment. It’s only for a couple hours, but it certainly puts a damper on the holidays for me every single year.
According to a CBS press release issued this morning at 6:30am, the Adam Carolla Show has been re-newed for another year and will begin with new episodes beginning January 2nd, 2008. The positive side of this news for Carolla fans…no Bonaduce!!!
I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to hear this news after being in limbo for the past week wondering what the fate of the show was going to be since Adam mysteriously disappeared from the show. All of the speculation going on at the official Adam Carolla message boards was hitting the nail right on the head and when CBS shut down the official message board, the Unofficial boards became the new home for listeners. Well thanks to everyone over at The Un-Official Adam Carolla Message Boards, we found the information we had been speculating so much about over the past week and this morning can now rejoice that the DOUCHE will no longer be a part of the show. Unfortunately for us Los Angeles listeners who listen on KLSX 97.1 FM, The Douche will remain as a part of the station with his own hour long show during the 2pm to 3pm shift. He will be filling up the timeslot that has normally been the first hour replay of the Frosty, Heidi, and Frank show. Well, I’m certain to hear parts of his show occasionally as I tend to turn the radio back on at about 3PM to listen to Leykis. Oh well, we didn’t totally rid ourselves of the Douche, but this is better than him ruining my beloved Adam Carolla Show.
Can we pretend
That from now on
There is no yesterday
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
There’s a light that shines in your face sometimes
That takes my feelings wraps them around your need
But there’s a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me.
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and gay
There’s a light that shines in your face sometimes
That takes my feelings wraps them around your need
But there’s a shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me.
This is purely speculation on my part, but I have been under the belief that The Adam Carolla Show is about to come to an end very soon. The Aceman has not been on the live show for the past two shows, supposedly having called in sick, and if you’ve listened to Adam Carolla for any length of time, you’d know he does not call in sick…EVER! My speculation is based mostly on the obvious tension there is between Adam and his sidekick Danny Bonaduce (The Douche). Danny Bonaduce is the baseball bat in the in spokes of Adam’s rants. Adam regulary builds up a joke or a story and before he is able to finish, The Douche adds his two cents and and completely derails everything the Aceman does, thereby making the show not fun to listen to when the Douche is there. This week, the tension was obvious and having heard nothing about Adam’s contract being renewed, I believe he is staging a protest of sorts. That until The Douche is off his show, I think the Aceman does not want to renew his contract with CBS radio. The reason that it seems something may be afoot is that, although Carolla called in sick to his own show, he called into his former co-host and friend’s show The Dr. Drew Pinsky show. He was on the air Drew for an hour and he did not sound the least bit “sick” but maybe he was just “sick of the Douche.” The past two days of the show with Danny Bonaduce at the helm have been the single worst radio shows I have ever heard. The shows were so bad, that the listeners who frequent the Adam Carolla message boards, came up with a new term to describe the show…”turdbortion.” I believe that this very well may spell the end of the Adam Carolla Show as we know it. I guess this remains to be seen at this point. Hopefully we find out something soon, but since the show is on Christmas break after today until the beginning of January, we may not know for a few more weeks.
UPDATE : As of Monday December 17, 2007, there is a lot more speculation going around as the official Adam Carolla Show message board has now been permanently disabled. All posts and users have been deleted and the board is now closed. At this point, its difficult to speculate too much on what is going on, but there is definitely something strange brewing behind the scenes. Hope we can hear some official news on this soon as waiting until January 2nd is too long to wait.
