You might remember Adam Carolla as the underachieving half of the Man Show. Whereas Carolla's former partner in chugging beers and looking at boobs, Jimmy Kimmel, has gone onto fame and fortune as a late-night host, Carolla now hosts a podcast on which he frequently maligns minority groups.

When Adam Carolla sat down for an interview with the New York Post to promote his new book, it was probably supposed to be a no-brainer—at least in the easygoing, non-clusterfucky way. Carolla used to host a Comedy Central show about taps, tits and trampolines, and the Post pretty much targets the same demographic, with bonus exploding-Hajji content thrown in.

In an apparent bid to drum up some publicity for his new book, comedian Adam Carolla decided to court controversy by exhuming the hackneyed "women aren't funny" canard in a New York Post interview.

While dissecting a clip from last week's episode of The Bachelor, Brad Womack popped up to apologize for his poor behavior during his last visit to The Soup in 2007. Later, Adam Carolla announced he is Oprah's long-lost sister.

Adam Carolla stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his new book and the former "Man Show" hosts ran through some possibilities for title/cover combo. Upon the revealing of the actual book, Kimmel was not that impressed.

Today at Gawker.TV, The Soup calls out Kathie Lee and Hoda for being drunken hypocrites, Chad Ochocino begins his journey down Vh1 reality dating, Sookie gets dumped over the phone, and we go inside Jack Rebney's Winnebago for an interview.

Adam Carolla visited Attack of the Show last week to discuss his podcast network, but, as usual, the conversation quickly shifted to women and food. Watch Alison Haislip interrupt the interview to passionately defend her bustly dimensions.

The 2000s were not so great for James Van Der Beek, career-wise. Maybe the 2010s will be better? He's just landed a role on the NBC medical drama 'Mercy' which could become a series regular if the character 'clicks'.

• The job cuts at Condé Nast continue. (Apparently laying off everyone at once would have just been too easy.) Yesterday it lowered the boom at Vanity Fair and GQ, although VF editor Graydon Carter managed to shield his eyes from carnage since he'd jetted off on vacation earlier that morning. [NYP, WWD]
• News Corp. appears to be the front-runner to buy the Travel Channel. [NYT]
• NBC has picked up Community, Parks and Recreation, and Mercy for the full season. It's also signed Adam Carolla and Don Cheadle to each do a show.
• Last night's premiere of The Jeff Dunham Show set a new record for Comedy Central, which, if you've seen Dunham, is a sad statement indeed. [Wrap]
• Silliest rumor of the day: Politico reported this morning that friends were urging Fox News chief Roger Ailes to run for president in 2012. But that's not going to happen, of course, so a few hours later Politico posted Ailes' denial.
• The first official portrait of the Obamas was taken by Annie Leibovitz. [VF]
• A few early predictions for Best Picture, if you're interested. [LAT]

If you've not yet recovered from the news that 103.1 had bitten down on a cyanide tablet rather than convert to a corporate-mandated Indie-and-Some-Celine format, steel yourselves for further L.A. radio carnage: 97.1's dead.

Whenever a long-standing couple like Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel hit the skids, we feel the need to play Emma and set the lovelorn kids up with someone new ASAP. And since we were the ones who debunked the news that Jimmy had already rebounded with one of his writers, we feel like we should continue our tradition of suggesting a few paramours for the pair of funny people. See our suggestions after the jump.

Now that Howard Stern has forsaken us for satellite radio, Adam Carolla has ascended the King of All Media's morning commute throne, hoping to keep local listeners from defecting to the world of $13 dollar a month subscriptions. We listened, sort of, to the maiden broadcast yesterday, and only vaguely remember the comforting presence of Carolla life-partner/TV host Jimmy Kimmel. Luckily, someone from the LAT took notes, otherwise we may have never registered that the show eased the audience into the post-Stern era with some familiar attention to personal hygiene of the most personal variety:

Finally complying with an FCC regulation mandating that an Adam Carolla show be available at any given moment of the day across a variety of broadcast media, Infinity Broadcasting announced that the Loveline/Too Late With Adam Carolla/The Adam Carolla Project/10 Minute Budget Gourmet Recipes With Rachel Ray (Featuring Adam Carolla) host will fill Howard Stern's morning talk show slot here in Los Angeles. Sadly, however, something has to give, and we're told that Hollywood's Hardest Working Man (in number of jobs, not effort, if you've ever seen the Comedy Central show) will announce that he's leaving Loveline on tonight's show. Tune in this evening to hear Carolla break the hearts of Dr. Drew and a nation of giggling 12 year-olds pretending to have chlamydia long enough to give a shout-out to the rest of their friends at the rainbow party. It's sure to be a poignant goodbye.
