He has done many radio shows which have earned him global fame and holds a \u2018Guinness World Record\u2019 for his radio show \u2018The Adam Carolla Show.\u2019 The show was distributed as a podcast and set the record as the \u2018most downloaded podcast.\u2019 Apart from his radio shows, he has appeared in, and made many television shows like \u2018The Man Show\u2019, \u2018Crank Yankers\u2019, \u2018Too Late with Adam Carolla\u2019, \u2018The Adam Carolla Project\u2019, and \u2018Catch a Contractor\u2019.
