Adam Carolla: Low ratings, not ‘homophobic’ slurs, ended Alec Baldwin’s show

November 28, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

On his podcast with guest Greg Fitzsimmons:

Fitzdog, you and I have done enough of this shit to know the first two weeks basically lets you know where the rest is going,” Carolla said on his Wednesday podcast. “They’ll give you the first week just that people coming in — sort of looky-loos, curious, want to see what is going on, kicking some tires. But you get to the two-week mark, as a matter of fact, I think almost every network, if you cut them a deal and said, ‘Would you like your talent, your host, whatever — almost whatever the format is, right at the two-week mark to go on some racially insensitive or homophobic slur rant out in the streets of Manhattan and someone to capture it on film and they’ll throw it up on TMZ,’ they’ll go, ‘Oh, that’d be the greatest fucking windfall ever. It would save us a lot of fucking money and effort,’ because they have to then — it becomes this thing of, ‘We got to fire the producer, we got to get more writers, there’s a format change.’”
