Jason Alexander | Adam Carolla Show | 2/23/23

In the first half, Comedian Jodi Miller joins Adam as they celebrate the 14th anniversary of the show and revisit some of its earliest moments. Next, Adam remembers the time he interviewed the recently deceased ‘Law & Order’ star, Richard Belzer, who was an early adopter of bringing dogs on airplanes. Jodi shares her experience writing for Cinemax's erotic series ‘Co-Ed Confidential’ before they get into the finer points of softcore pornography. Adam and Jodi hear some trending news stories including: Brittney Griner taking a pay cut to return to the WNBA, a trans teacher with giant breasts getting seen dressed as a man, and a new “zombie drug” hitting the streets.
In the second half, Jason Alexander joins Adam and Jodi Miller to talk about his new podcast, ‘Really? No, Really?’. Jason shares how women hated him after he played a villain in ‘Pretty Woman’, how he got into college with a William Shatner impression, and the journey that led him to playing George Costanza on ‘Seinfeld’. Next, they get into the Michael Richards 2006 incident, public bathrooms, and their shared episode of ‘Son of a Beach’.

Hey Adam - try to get Michael Richards on the show. That would be hugely interesting.

[@creavanaddams9045]

Hes been black balled....😁

[@oceanbnd]

I completely agree. I loved that character on Seinfeld, Kramer. I’ve liked Michael Richards in everything he’s done.

[@ATXmw1]

What else has been in besides Seinfeld?

[@oceanbnd]

@@ATXmw1 He was on a sketch show similar to SNL called Fridays. He’s had a few movie parts as well. UHF, Coneheads, So I Married An Axe Murderer, Airheads

[@JDAfrica]

I find him utterly annoying .. and I’ve heard a few stories that he’s a first class A hole

[@debs4573]

Adam made a great decision when he got his podcast started right away. I think you retained all your radio listeners. Then built up from there.

[@alanvallazza9781]

I do recall The Free Fm days when Adam was on WSLX in Los Angeles doing his show. Format didn't work. Then not long after started the podcast.

[@oceanbnd]

What a great interview with Jason Alexander, thanks Adam. Huge fan of Seinfeld here. You could tell they loved working together in Seinfeld, because the laughs were endless.

[@kendallandrews8691]

It was a good show, but it didn't compare to Bob Patterson

[@TheBlocklandPlayer]

What A Great Episode. Love You All.

[@jayrhough1912]

Congratulations on 14 years of fantastic entertainment.🥂

[@MarkRVillano]

Jason was probably my favorite on Seinfeld, maybe because I could relate to the sneaky, lazy, conniving character he portrayed.

[@clausjohansen8814]

🇩🇰🇩🇰 congratulations 🥳 Claus from Denmark - Adam, you are ON, every morning - like your show 👍😁

[@goodie2shoes]

Love you, Adam! You gave me hours and hours of great radio.

[@jillbrusse8128]

You were way ahead of the traveling with dogs subject. I loved your book !

[@damienkearns3654]

Congratulations and thank you for all the content 👏🎉

[@mexicanspec]

Whenever I see Jason Alexander all I can think of is his wagging tail from Shallow Hal.

[@eyesee1509]

Congrats on 14 yrs of podcasting. I've been listening to Ace since Mr Birchim on KROQ.

[@danboyd6180]

Ace-Rockola Signing Off

[@humphet]

[@dubwiseselecta1]

Not my joke - I left 2 wnba tickets in my car yesterday, this morning i came back and saw that someone broke into my car and left two more

[@rltservicesllc5907]

😂😂😂😂

[@RageAgainstRustyCage]

Enjoyed watching News Wrap. Great laughs, too good for TV.

[@peeteedubb]

Happiest 14 years, Carolla & crew!!! Thanks for all ya'll do!! LOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fReShLyBakEN]

The new interview format 🤌🏼

[@Shap83]

Great job, keep’em coming!

[@richb313]

14th Anniversary of the podcast with Jodi and Jason great show.

[@jeffk464]

I would just like to say that some of my relatives bumped into Jason Alexander in the Tetons. According to them he was extremely gracious, a true mensch. I loved Seinfeld growing up, thought it was so cool to hear that Jason Alexander was a great guy.

[@jaymeswheeler]

You have been my favorite angry uncle thanks so much

[@MrMDMartin]

Ace Man! You better get it off, on a lady that appreciates you. You are owed so much for all your good advice for humanity. Love you, bro!

[@filipsolis5253]

Jason Alexander!!! Cool to see you speak like a human!!! Love you!!! : )

[@debbieskrletts725]

Happy anniversary. Love you adam. Long long time fan

[@ktmxcw4501]

The trip down memory lane of the first several podcasts reminded me about Andy Dick smoking a cigar in your house ha. Congrats on 14 yrs, here’s to many more🍻

[@cutndry4165]

RIP Richard Belzer

[@filipsolis5253]

Carolla, best podcaster ever!!!

[@jaymeswheeler]

Congratulations and thank you for decades. I started work at the Glendale Center Theater at age 12 as an usher and night janitor. Went to the Los Angeles County high school for the arts. Listen to you every day in one form or another. You are my William Shatner

[@jerryrounds8586]

Jason Alexander is the best.

[@DadRockProject]

Jason seems like a great dude.

[@ericmadeoftin8206]

I'm like Marisa Tomei, I like short, stalky, bald guys...especially if their named Jason Alexander.

[@widespreadGoose]

great cast

[@chrismazz6130]

Get Michael Richard’s on!

[@voccsaycee30]

Great interviews

[@travishalvorson6377]

Used to listen in 2006 on my way to work. Loved when he'd go off about Tom Lykis, and then listen to Tom on the way home. Tom never dared talking about Adam...

[@jodystephenson6306]

Congratulations Adam on your continued success! Thank you for the fantastic comedic opinion on the world. It's refreshing to hear people on this plane.

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 🥂 on 14 years

[@CommieGobbledygook]

I enjoyed you having Costanza on the show today. Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? If anyone told me that was frowned upon.....

[@adamantiumbomb]

When will Jason Alexander make another Duckman Cartoon...does anyone else remember that series? I was and still am a huge fan! 🦆

[@User-54631]

I do, it was funny.

[@adamantiumbomb]

@@User-54631 I saw a few episodes of this show on late night as a kid and I'm sure many of the jokes flew right over my head, but I'd love to re-watch the entire series now as an adult and see how it hold up!

[@markbrandsen1674]

Yeah get it on got to get it on

[@garyfitz6038]

Get It On!!!

[@trevormcmanis]

I love Jason Alexander. Now I know what Charlie Brown would look like as an older adult... I tease with love 💕

[@magicmatt1969]

Jason is so cool. You can tell he would be awesome to meet I person.

[@hellrazorofficial9178]

Q ... Does Adam have a photographic memory? ..... I say yes. Because if you notice he has a tendancy to close his eyes to recall a time or a story.

[@fhowland]

I noticed how often he closes his eyes

[@ChevypowerSS]

Very good cast everyone, always great to have Jodi grace the show and a nice pull with Jason. Excellent!

[@FSUBrando]

My brain immediately went to Rich Banks’ “2000 podcasts” when the flashback to “First off I gotta say this…I’m nervous” 😂

[@danhall9197]

Jason, you’re a legend. One of the best characters of all time in any medium.

[@Treasuremonk]

I’m only half way through this,, in case I can’t finish, where does Jason stand on Richards? I LOVE Michael Richards as an actor and a real person!

[@richardeinheuser5529]

Loved this episode

[@asutton1364]

Do not miss Gina and bald!

[@beckiwithaneye]

Our whole family LOVES Dunstin Checks In!! Make a sequel!!

[@chrishight6598]

The pirate ship continues to sail!!! Been with the podcast since day 1 but I'm not sure how I found it. KLSX must have had a link. Also, KLSX would have an ad for Preston & Steve in Philly, which, is what I was trying to avoid by listening to Ace.

[@jonsquirrel1438]

Congratulations Ace

[@Redmenace96]

I'm a fool for not seeing the connection between Jason Alexander and Captain Kirk. JA uses a lot of his cadence. Second, nice story about the birth of Seinfeld. It is hard to remember when it was not a hit, and not huge.

[@billbally4419]

Norm never sold out

[@B1055BH]

Can’t believe Adam found the guy from Dunstin Checks In to do his show!

[@brianohare9607]

I love love love Jodi Miller …hopefully she becomes full time

[@alanvallazza9781]

He recently got rid of co-hosts who were not on that long on the show. It sounded like he wanted to do one on one interviews and change up his show.

[@dubwiseselecta1]

Chris - "The wnba is fun to watch, its just that nobody's watching it"

[@sk8b1rd]

your so good adam

THE PRINCE IS GIVING A BALLLLLL 🎶 👠 👑

[@janekk2487]

I listen to this podcast while working so I don’t fuck up. I listen to a different pod today and drove off the job with my tools on the tailgate, lesson learned and looking forward to a full makita set and more ace!

[@ROBOCAB]

Mid to late 90s could only listen to Ace on the radio. Downloaded first pod onto my computer then to an MP3 player in 2009. Watching on my Tv whine I get ready for work in 2023. 2037 The #1 Neurolink-cast? …I’m guessing yes. I’m getting in line for my chip now! 👍🏼😉

[@brek5]

Wow, outside of Schottenheimer, that was the best birthday list ever.

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

So, it's Belzer's fault. Nice going, Belzer. Jagoff.

[@chuckipoo]

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

"I'll watch the episodes later" was a great Adam joke that the rest of them missed. 1:53:50

[@matthewkieke5885]

Belzer got that house from the Hulk Hogan lawsuit

[@paulryan5426]

the big boobed shop teacher might be Tim Dillion !!

[@71flatwindow]

Jason also had a funny role on a Newhart episode.

[@chris2423]

I ❤ Adam

[@scottberseth7545]

Nice work Ace Rockolla. Time to you get you up North and on the ice and do a bit of Boozing. No red wine either. Only wine will be MD 20/20 or Boon's Farm

[@MichaelBrown-mk9yn]

Hey Adam I’m blind and travel with my guide dog I’d love to talk to you sometime about why if I didn’t need the dog I would never travel with a dog

[@JakeRoselli]

Only men watch basketball. Men have no interest in watching women's basketball. It's not that difficult.

[@muximus2771]

"So I have to buy you a drink, stop the serial killer from crawling in the window and now I have to watch WNBA games for you too? When are you gonna pick up your end of the couch!" - Bill Burr

[@garyfitz6038]

Shaq said lower the hoop to 8 ft so the women can dunk. He's got a good idea, it would be much more entertaining.

[@everett8811]

That makes sense too because when basketball was invented the male players weren't this tall. Lol so that would even it out a bit and make it more fun to watch an profitable.

[@sapporoj6379]

Yes. The hurdles in track are lower for women. Makes sense.

[@muximus2771]

T-Mac said that on a panel decades ago and got his ass torn up by two wnba players. They were arguing "why should we have to be as exciting as men?!"... it was infuriating.

[@KayFabe87]

Why do the hoops need to be lowered if men and women have "equal" ability? On that note, why does there need to be a WNBA. The women should just try out for the NBA and compete with the men according to woke logic.

[@kirkmashino4106]

Adam - i grew up listening to radio in the 80s south east of chicago. i used to call loveline on mtv when i was 9 i go by colby shawn, love the comedy keep it up.

[@dyates6380]

I haven't watched this yet, but can someone tell me if Jason was asked how many illegals he volunteered to have live with him and his family since he's such a staunch Mumbles supporter? Thanks.

[@miketheyunggod2534]

She didn't escape a prison you fool! A fool cut a deal. Let's Go Brandon!

[@bradojacko8247]

Glad to see him stand up for michael richards somewhat. Bring back duckman!

[@andyweixler662]

screw Harry's razors. get Jeremy's as a new advertiser.

[@MoreBud-Angel]

Adam is so funny on this 1 as always. Pretending both female MMA fighters are your Mother is amazing. A+

[@robertcristando8007]

Hey Jodi, What do you mean they’re not real?!? If they can cast a shadow, they are real!!!

[@Twobarpsi]

conGRADulations for getting rid of Gina, and Bald!

[@mitchellhedden1978]

Ovaltine… you ever try this stuff?… should be called ‘Roundtine’.

[@cwells5137]

That’s gold Jerry! Gold!

[@jakeolthof]

Did you know Ovaltine was developed by Sandoz, the same company that invented LSD.

[@stevene6482]

@@jakeolthof given the flavor of ovaltine, I think the LSD must have come first.

[@jakeolthof]

@@stevene6482 I concur, I think Ovaltine is designed to restore serotonin levels and B vitamins that are depleted by LSD. They sold the brand but I used to have glass containers of Ovaltine with the s in the triangle that is Sandoz's Logo.

14:40 Thats what I love about you Ace Man you're essentially my news show. Best pod running. Formats, guests, opinions add comedy

Great show 😎🇺🇸🏁, great people and stories,gets your mind off what else is going on out there

Jody is a great fit.

Jason looks and sounds just like he did on Seinfeld.

He wasn't acting.

[@sc666666]

when Jason was on Curb they were making fun of his acting classes

[@mikehansen6807]

[@toddnolastname4485]

I'd ask Jason about George's p-star name. I'm pretty sure that was supposed to be Jason's line, but Jerry stole it.
