Do you think “Too Late with Adam Carolla” died before its time?
AC: Um, no. I mean, I don’t think anyone…well I shouldn’t say anyone, but I don’t think almost anyone liked that show. Formatically, it seemed too weird for people. Part of the problem was I always said, “I don’t want to do a late night show with an audience. I don’t want the audience clapping and stand up monologue and all that kind of stuff. I want to do more of a Tom Snyder kind of sit-down, one on one. Kind of scaled back.” And Comedy Central didn’t really want that. They kind of insisted on the live audience. And I didn’t want the live audience, and we kind of went back and forth, and eventually it got to the point where we switched up formats too many times. Eventually, yeah, if you would have left me on with no audience and left me on, eventually I’m sure I would have found my audience on that show. I went back and looked at an episode or two and thought it wasn’t that bad. I think it was formatically too weird for a lot of people, and I don’t know that we can do what we used to
