It was an early, low-budget version of that bro-ride in the opening credits of the hit HBO series "Entourage," a tribute to the red-blooded, something male's idea of livin' the dream. Carolla left the Valley for a while, chasing his dream of finding a career in comedy. He ran with a crowd of stand-up comedians, and he was spending time with the Groundlings, the comedy improv group that launched the careers of performers such as Phil Hartman and Lisa Kudrow.
Carolla started hanging around a public-access cable station in Echo Park, what Angelenos call "over the hill" from the Valley. But Ace and The Weez became neighbors again in Toluca Lake when Carolla moved across the street after his girlfriend's apartment was red-tagged as unsafe after the Northridge quake. By then The Weez was working for advertising agencies, editing commercials.
Ace was no longer digging ditches; he'd moved up to construction work, hanging drywall and pounding nails. Was he funny enough to turn pro? Everybody in L. When the show put out the call for someone to train Jimmy the Sports Guy -- Kimmel -- for a boxing match dubbed "The Bleeda in Reseda," Carolla, a fight fan who worked out constantly, knew the gig was made for him.
He walked over to the KROQ office and dropped his name in the basket at the front desk. It probably didn't hurt that the name he dropped was Adam Lakers Carolla. His parents hadn't given him a middle name, so when it came time to get a driver's license, he chose his favorite sports team: the Lakers. It stuck; he uses the name to this day. Carolla got the gig training Kimmel and they clicked. Big time. Kimmel advised him that to get more airtime on the show, he should come up with a regular bit, and that is how Mr.
Birchum came to be. He called in to KROQ to teach lessons because he assumed his students were listening. Carolla did the shtick without pay for a year. It was hilarious, and it caught on. Birchum launched Carolla's career. The bit caught Pinsky's attention, and he and Carolla would spend 11 years together, on the radio and later on the MTV version of "Loveline. The Weez was movin' on up, too. He jumped into digital media early, mastering Avid, the software program that made videotape obsolete.
Misraje says he was moving into directing and producing when he stepped up to help Carolla launch his podcasting career in February His reasons may not have been purely altruistic when he rallied to help his old friend. There was opportunity there, no doubt. But he contends that Carolla used him and then threw him away.
I can't begin to tell you how bad I feel. That's the hard part, that the relationship is over. He compares it to a bad breakup. Or a death in the family. It wasn't like that. We have been close, tight, for more than 30 years. He's like a member of my family. Imagine having a fight with a brother or a sister.
It's a mind-blower. What puzzles him the most, Misraje says, is that Carolla didn't seem to understand that backing out of the partnership deal would end their year friendship.
But as far as he's concerned, "the friendship is over.
