Adam Carolla back on Comedy Central

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 14 (UPI) -- Comedy Central's "Too Late with Adam Carolla" will mark "The Man Show" host's return to his comedy roots, the cable network announced Thursday.

"It's a joyous reunion -- like a battered wife moving back in with her alcoholic husband," Carolla said in a news release issued Thursday.

The half-hour show bows Aug. 8, right after "The Daily Show."

Each show will include opening comments, a guest interview, live phone calls from viewers and pre-taped interviews with Carolla and people on the street.

"Too Late with Adam Carolla" is produced by Jackhole Industries, which is comprised of Carolla, Jimmy Kimmel and Daniel Kellison.
