Particularly Good Interview with Jimmy - Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

14  2012-07-03 by [deleted]

Jim was on Adam Carolla's show for the promo tour, but he was horribly shoehorned in and ignored. Carolla's newsgirl, Alison Rosen, has her own show which I've never listened to, but Jimmy was on there as well and it ended up turning into a very candid one-on-one between the two of them. It takes about a half hour for Rosen's prepared personality to erode, but it turns into a pretty great moment and exemplifies why Jim has the most sincere integrity of anyone in the comedy biz.

Thanks. Carolla has trouble with interviews because he loves his own opinions so much.

Just came here to post this. I don't think Adam ignored Jim on purpose, Jim has been on Adams show a few other times and he was there the whole time. Adam has done this to other guests where he only interviews them for the last 15 mins. I don't think Norton was upset, he has been on every podcast I listen to this last week. I'm sure he is tired of doing press.

I did notice that Jim didn't mention being on Adam's podcast, but he mentioned all the other podcasts he sat in on. Still, I think if Jimmy was pissed, he would have said something.

He probably forgot, he was probably tired and last week was a long stressful week for him. I just wish Adam would go on O&A Opie should reach out and apologize for thinking adam looked at him weird 10 years ago. The first time Norton was on Adam's podcast Adam basically said he didn't remember if he looked weird at Opie. It's such a stupid thing to hold against a guy it could be hashed out in 2 mins. Carolla would fit in perfectly with OA&J. Well mostly Ant and Jim, Adam is basically the same person as Anthony.

I'm a big fan of Carolla and O&A and the thing you must understand about Carolla is that he runs on his own schedule. If a guest is running late he won't wait around to get an hour in with them. Furthermore, he tends to interview himself half the time so sometimes it's hard for a guest to get a lot of speaking time.

Yeah I agree with you, I didn't think there was anything wrong with Jim's appearance. I also don't think Jim was upset by it either. We are talking about Jim Norton here if he had a problem he would have went off about it for an hour.

Thanks... this is awesome.

Tl;DL: Jim is interviewed by a chatty hole. Jim is polite and opens up to her about past girlfriends. Hole outclassed at radio by a professional. Jim rocks.
