Editing Adam Carolla (section)

===''Loveline''===
In October 1995, after being signed to the [[William Morris Endeavor|William Morris Agency]] by Mark Itkin,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://adamcarolla.com/store/|title=Store|publisher=Adamcarolla.com|access-date=February 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140208104906/http://adamcarolla.com/store/|archive-date=February 8, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Carolla was offered the job of co-hosting the evening radio call-in show ''[[Loveline]].'' His co-hosts were the physician [[Drew Pinsky]] ("Dr. Drew") and metal DJ [[Riki Rachtman]]. Carolla received the offer after Pinsky heard him on ''Kevin and Bean''<ref name="IMDB bio"/> (Rachtman left the show the following year.)<ref name="UMNDaily">{{cite news |url=http://www.mndaily.com/sites/default/files/paper-pdfs/1996/08/09/1996-08-09.pdf |title=Laying it on the Loveline |last=Cowan |first=Michael |date=August 9, 1996 |access-date=March 13, 2012 |publisher=[[Minnesota Daily]] |archive-date=September 27, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927010328/http://www.dolland.net/loveline/cache/laying/index.html |url-status=dead  }}</ref> ''Loveline'' was broadcast on KROQ-FM in Los Angeles and was syndicated nationwide on the former [[Westwood One (1976–2011)|Westwood One]] radio network.

While the format of the program was primarily that of a call-in show wherein listeners would ask questions about sex and relationships, Carolla would often spend much of the show ranting about various topics from fart jokes to extended parodies of radio morning shows, including mocking the format's penchant for useless and repetitive weather and traffic reports. In contrast to the reserved, thoughtful Pinsky, Carolla served as the loud, funny side of the show. Carolla's character was described by one reviewer as "a toned-down version of [[Howard Stern]] minus the huge ego".<ref name="UMNDaily"/>

In a late-2003 ''Loveline'' episode, Carolla said that Hawaiians are "dumb", "in-bred", "retarded" people who are among the "dumbest people we have". The comments were met with anger in Hawaii and resulted in ''Loveline''{{'}}s cancellation on Hawaiian affiliate [[KPOI-FM|KPOI]].<ref>Cataluna, Lee (December 23, 2003).[http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2003/Dec/23/ln/ln48alee.html "KPOI, listeners cry foul"], ''Honolulu Advertiser''.</ref>
