Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 12:06 AM Anyone else seen the new Adam Carolla commercial for Taco Bell? It's retarded, will he do anything for a buck now? It's for the Big Box meal though, which I must admit, is amazing. I love Taco Bell. —anfernee |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 8:21 AM Haven't seen it but he talked about it on his show yesterday morning. will he do anything for a buck now Lets see... you're a c-lister and somebody wants give you enough money to buy a house for a day or two of "work" doing some crappy commercial. Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same given the opportunity? —anobody |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:02 AM ^I think there's a difference. Drew is a doctor. Why would a doctor want to be in an Olsen twin movie? Adam is an entertainer. Doing a commercial is within the field of entertainment. —pookie |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:28 PM There is no difference, Adam just likes to bust Drew's balls. I highly doubt Adam got enough to buy a house. Not even close, I'd bet. —Masteel |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:31 PM I guarantee it was more than a few hundred k (which may not buy you much in LA, but is plenty for a house in most of the country). —anobody |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:36 PM Guarantee? That's a ridiculous statement, unless you have access to that information, which you don't. You can't "guarantee" that. What do I get if the guarantee's bad? It's not like a brake pad, I don't get a new one, so you should probably have to blow me if evidence surfaces that is contradictory to your guarantee. —Masteel |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:41 PM First of all, it's a figure of speech (as I'm sure you know). Second, I'm sure it's quite safe to say that he made comfortably than a few tens of k (and I'd find it hard to believe if he didn't at least break a hundred). —anobody |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:46 PM My guess would be it's under 100K. This is actually a good thing for you to call and ask him some morning. —Masteel |

Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:50 PM The only problem with that is that it would require me to actually be up that early. If you're right that it was under 100k, and he won't get residuals that take it above that, then I might actually have to go with the people who were crapping on him for "selling out" (that is - it's one thing to do something crappy like that for enough money, it's quite another to do it for peanuts - which under 100 seems like it would be to him... even considering the whole "strike while the iron is hot" philosophy). —anobody |

Edited Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 10:56 PM Heh, this is the same guy who used to do Hollywood Squares for $2,500 (I'm 99% positive he said it was that low) back when he was on LL. He IS making a ton of dough now though, 3-4 mil a year, I would guess. —Masteel |

Edited Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 11:19 PM I've been wondering if he'll keep reading his latest social security statements since doing the show. $2,500 for him to do that back then doesn't seem so bad. Barely enough to cover my car for him now just seems horribly low-ball. (though stepping back and realizing that even at under 100k, I'm criticizing him for making more than a lot of families with kids do in a year for two days of work is just slightly surreal and warped) *edit* I keep trying to think - if I was getting paid a few million a year to talk for four hours a day, how much would someone have to pay me to get me to do a crappy Taco Bell commercial... Certainly much over $200k seems like it'd be enough, and less than $20k would definitely be too little (unless I overextended myself and was desperate)... but I can't really say where the cutoff would be. *another edit* I just did the math 3 million a year for 48 weeks of 5 days each is just under thirteen thousand per day (or around three thousand per hour for four hours of work). I guess the rational thing to do would be to base what you're paid on your hourly income, so if they paid him much more than 3k per hour, he ended up on top.... that's a lot lower than I would have said (which, I'd suppose, means I've got to retract both my "guarantee" and my disappointment). —anobody |

Sunday, January 20, 2008 at 7:25 PM Speaking of Taco Hell commercials, I've been pissed at Universal for quite some time, for sitting on all of Joe Jackson's A&M material, and not letting him buy it. Now they can totally blow me for selling one of his songs (One More Time) for a Taco Hell commercial. Bastards. I'm Dusty TheHick. —Dusty TheHick |
