Ben Shapiro's intense security detail + Tomatoes, Airline Upgrades & Scams | The Adam Carolla Show

🔥 The Adam Carolla Show | Margaret Cho, Jacqueline Bisset & Hilarious Rants!

🎙️ In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam welcomes two incredible guests—comedian Margaret Cho and legendary actress Jacqueline Bisset! Plus, we’ve got Jason Miller with trending news, Adam’s latest road stories, and a whole lot of laughs.

🏆 Episode Highlights:

✅ Margaret Cho Talks Music & More! 🎶 – The stand-up icon is now diving into music with a power pop album inspired by the Bangles and The Go-Go’s! Adam and Margaret discuss comedians transitioning into music, why Steve Martin’s banjo skills are too good, and how 80s pop shaped her sound.

✅ Ben Shapiro’s Intense Security Detail 🚔 – Adam recalls his visit to Ben Shapiro’s studio, complete with heavily armed guards, MP5s, and tactical pants. He even got grilled about carrying a “concealed weapon”… or was it “council”? 🤔

✅ Yakov Smirnoff’s Surprise Set 🎤 – The comedy legend and Soviet-born funnyman unexpectedly dropped by one of Adam’s shows, got nervous before doing 5 minutes, and later invited Adam on his podcast.

✅ Hotel & Flight Nightmares ✈️ – Adam rants about unhelpful hotel clerks dodging simple upgrade questions, plus an awkward JetBlue first-class seat mystery where the crew went from “it’s taken” to “it’s broken” just to avoid moving him up.

✅ Motley Crüe’s Most Cringe Lyrics? 🎸 – The crew tears apart one of the most uncomfortable 80s rock lyrics: “She’s only 15…” 😬 Why was this even a thing back then?

✅ The Great Cherry Tomato Conspiracy 🍅 – Adam goes off on how mini tomatoes have infiltrated every restaurant, ruining sandwiches, salads, and even his beloved bagels & lox. Are they just a scam to last longer in storage? 🤨

✅ John Travolta & Hollywood Gossip 🕵️‍♂️ – Margaret shares wild stories about working with Travolta on Face/Off, including his love for boysenberry pie, his Oscar Wilde-level flamboyance, and the long-running rumors about his personal life.

✅ Margaret’s Comedy Journey 🎭 – From starting stand-up at age 14 to starring in All-American Girl, Margaret talks about breaking barriers, Asian representation in comedy, and how today’s stars like Ali Wong and Bowen Yang credit her as an inspiration.
