Adam Carolla pilot

We finished the bulk of the casting for our NBC pilot - The Untitled Adam Carolla Project - yesterday. I'm really happy with the cast. We had a "pre- table read" the other day with most of the series regulars and it was REALLY funny. Our official table read is on Monday. We've added a couple of great people to the cast: Victor Cruz is playing the role of Rogelio. We cast Victor out of New York... he's a little younger than we originally envisioned the role, but he is really funny and will be a great sidekick for Carolla. I'm also excited about Amy Landecker. Amy may not be a familiar face yet, but she has a very memorable scene in the Coen Brother's latest film "A Serious Man" as the sexy and sultry neighbor. Amy is playing Carolla's ex-wife. One of the great things about Amy is that she is a fresh face for TV viewers. You often will see the same people playing roles over and over on television and when you get to a certain age category, it's just hard to find strong, quality actors who haven't been overexposed. Amy has been in New York and has been doing lots of stage work, so while she's done the NY TV shows, she hasn't done a lot of high visibility television in the past.

The producers on this project have been GREAT to work with. I've enjoyed this collaboration immensely. It's really nice to work with people who want to hear our opinion and who respect my experience. We laughed a lot and worked hard and have a really good result. So, we start shooting this next week. Then we wait. The networks announce their fall schedules in the 2nd week of May. Let's hope this one gets on the air!
