Has Adam mentioned this home improvement show he's doing on TLC before? I swear to the Vicar this is the first time I remember hearing about it.

From yahoo news:

TLC Mans Up with Carolla
(Friday, April 08 11:00 AM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Goodbye, Paige Davis. Hello, Adam Carolla.
With its ratings and its signature show, "Trading Spaces," on the wane, cable network TLC is turning to a seemingly unlikely source for a new home-makeover show.

Former "Man Show" host, comedian -- and accomplished carpenter -- Adam Carolla will host a show on the network, fittingly titled "The Adam Carolla Project." It's one of several new series TLC announced Thursday (April 7) and hopes will help reverse a recent ratings slide.


TLC averaged a 0.7 household rating in primetime for the first quarter of the year, still a reasonable number for a cable network but down about 30 percent compared to the same period in 2004, according to several news reports. A good portion of that drop can be attributed to the decline of "Trading Spaces," which has fallen off sharply from its salad days a couple years ago and which recently let host Paige Davis go.
As a result, the network is looking into new projects that aren't as makeover-heavy as "Trading Spaces" and some of TLC's other shows. Carolla's show, while it does remake houses, will also focus on the comic and his crew; think "This Old House" with jokes.

TLC is also looking to do more documentary series, including "Sheer Dallas," a peek into the upper-crust life in Dallas, and "Going Hollywood," which follows showbiz interns as they try to establish a foothold in Tinseltown.

Since Adam actually knows what he's talking about, this could be a great show.

Man, I've stopped watching TLC after Teresa Strasser from "While You Were Out" left. I would LOVE to see Adam yelling at Mexicans to turn their Ranchero music down!

This is excellent. I hope he hires the crew that works on his house. Maybe he can yell at them over the ranchero music. "Turn it off! Turn it off!!!!!!"

*le sighs* Dusty, why must asshole guys insist on taking their Alpha male pills every single morning? It only results in them getting drunk after work, coming home, beating the wife to prove what a man they are, and another viscious cycle that just repeats itself day after day.... Not even the courts can stop it. On the plus side, the local cops get to know you on a first name basis. "Otis"

Dusty, slip on a bitch beater, selectively (but not too much so) stained with various sauces (bbq, hot wing, etc), take a shower in schlitz and vodka medley, and smile. You now fit the part.

Where are your bitches? At the trailer park silly! Go get 'em cowboy!

Fear not, Darkie...When she has spent a few years living in the real world, she'll understand.

(Not a belittlement. It's just really easy to say things like that at her age. ...or even at YOUR age, for that matter, but YOU somehow KNOW better...which worries me.)

Maybe you're in major denial dusty, and really blind about yourself. The reason girls keep picking others over you is that they think the other guy is better than you, or worse, you exhude a kind of loser-vibe the Aceman always talks about. The ladies are PROFILING you, putting you in the loser category. You should call the ACLU and sue all females...

I know, I was kidding. On the surface it seems like I'm always happy, but when people really get to know me, they realize that I get pissed about everything.

Awww, Dusty. If I were about 20 years older, I might be able to like you. Do you stare a lot in public? If so, you should stop because that's really creepy. But, you really do seem like a nice guy and eventually girls will realize that. You might be really old then, but still.
