Adam Carolla: The Mr. Skin Interview

By: Demetri Ravanos There are plenty of people that think Adam Carolla is a jerk. Others call him a clown. Huffington Post went out of its way earlier this year to call him a racist. Here at Mr. Skin, we just call him a friend. What Carolla really is, is painfully honest. There’s no opinion he won’t share, and when it comes to working with the Weinstein Company or another movie studio of that ilk, he is quick to tell you that after his experience working on his critically acclaimed 2009 film The Hammer , he just isn’t interested. That’s why he’s turning to his fans for help. It shouldn’t shock you this is the route Adam’s taking to fund his next movie Road Hard . When CBS Radio fired him he relied on his fans’ dedication to make his podcast a success. They came through for him in a big way. You could argue that they came through for the entire genre. Maybe crowd funding doesn’t need the boost in 2013 that podcasting did in 2009, but FundAnything.com threw their support behind Adam in hopes that their site could receive a nice bump. Carolla is offering fans everything from an advanced copy of the script to VIP treatment at the Road Hard premier and an Executive Producer credit. When I spoke with Adam on Wednesday he was getting his car, risking, in his words, “a chicken shit ticket” by driving and talking on a cell phone. Read the full Skinterview after the jump!
