Man, did you miss the point of The Man Show. It was satire, and the hosts were the joke.
Also not where he got his start. Kimmel was on the Win Ben Steins Money game show before The Man Show and radio before that.
see, you say that, but I don't think you realize how stupid Americans are.
My stepfather did not think it was satire, or a joke. He loved that show and thought the jokes were hilarious. "woman be shopping" etc. I hated that man.
I know very well how stupid we are. Just look at The Colbert Report.
But because it wasn’t received as satire doesn’t make it not satire.
That's kinda the whole point of satire. Fools arent supposed to get the joke, because they ARE the joke.
Also, what little I know of Adam Carolla these days, I'm not sure it was satire to him.
Of the hosts, one grew as a person and the other did the opposite.
