Adam Carolla was born on May 27, 1964, in Los Angeles County, California. He was separated from his mother when he was very young.
He grew up into a funny guy. He listed his middle name as ‘Lakers’ in his driving license document as a joke even though he had no middle name given to him by his parents.
He was raised in the ‘North Hollywood’ neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he attended Colfax Elementary School, Walter Reed Junior High, and North Hollywood High School. He had to wait for some years for his high school diploma as he was due for a library fine.
To shift his focus away from a chaotic domestic life, Adam played ‘Pop Warner football’. In December 1981, he was named to the First Team Offensive Line, Central Valley League. This was one of the only eight leagues at the time in the LA City Section of the California Interscholastic Federation.
He briefly attended Los Angeles Valley College but later dropped out to pursue a series of jobs including those of a carpenter, boxing instructor, traffic school instructor and a carpet cleaner.
Career in Radio
In 1994, after trying a series of jobs, Adam Carolla volunteered as a boxing trainer to prepare Jimmy Kimmel for a bout, which was being staged by KROQ-FM's morning radio program ‘Kevin and Bean’.

‘Kevin and Bean’ gave him the perfect start to his career as he caught the attention of Mark Itkin and signed to the William Morris Agency to co-host the radio call-in show ‘Loveline’. The show’s other hosts were physician Drew Pinsky, formally known as Dr. Drew and Riki Rachtman.
