Hugh Fink - The Adam Carolla Show

Adam begins today’s show with some brief thoughts on the Israel / Palestine conflict. The guys then listen to a couple more classic Mr. Birchum call from the KROQ days, and Adam recalls the day he got arrested. Producer Chris then enters the studio with Trending Topics, including a massive party that broke out at ‘Adrian’s Kickback’, a WNBA Coach fined and suspending after an ‘offensive’ comment, and the overseas release of Fast & Furious 9. Gina also gives an update on her wedding planning, and Chris reads a couple more trending stories about apologizing actors, and ‘The Linda Lindas’. Before the break, Adam recalls his days of dumpster diving.

SNL writer Hugh Fink joins the podcast at the top of Part 2. The guys continue the conversation about how food culture has changed over the years, and then Adam asks Hugh about his early days writing for Saturday Night Live. Hugh shares some behind the scenes stories of writing sketches and opening monologues, and the guys complain about bureaucracy getting in the way of comedy. Later, Hugh brings up some of his favorite SNL sketches, and the guys break down Quentin Tarantino’s bizarre on-stage singing, as well as some other weird ‘comedy’ performances. In the last part of the show, the guys watch a couple of classic Man Show sketches, and Gina reads news stories about Simone Biles, public schools reopening in the Fall, Lindsay Lohan, a new Willy Wonka prequel, and a drug dealer caught after showing off cheese.
