Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

One thing I think i'm the only one that does it: Try and press my computer screen thinking I can click on it like an ipad. 

Hi Alison,
After listening to your latest podcast, I really felt compelled to let you know just how much I appreciate everything you have to say in both your podcast and Adam's show. I was first introduced to you in the latter, and from there I was hooked. I adore the humor, intellect, and vulnerability you convey on your show and definitely feel as though I can relate to you in so many aspects (e.g., body image, negative reviews, boyfriends, etc.). I also cannot thank you enough for sharing the conversations you have with your amazing guests (I had just finished Drop Dead Healthy when you interviewed AJ Jacobs) and more specifically for introducing me to Pete Holmes, whom I adore and with whom I am currently obsessed. Anyway, that was all I wanted to say, and that I changed my Amazon link to go through/at/on/from your page instead of Adam's (which is a huge deal, I know).
...Upon rereading this, I fear this comes off as a bit love lettery, but I guess I do have a bit of a girl crush on you. Thanks!

Allison, I listened to Adam's show w/ Ray Romano and LOVED your comment about women's right to vote being a better comparison to gay marriage. I was literally SCREAMING it alout before you mentioned it. Then when you did Adam kind if brushed it off, but you were right on! I think its better because you look back at it as being backward and wrong, but not as an atrocity like slavery or the holocaust. You're definitely a smarty so don't be afraid to pipe in when you've got great points like that one!

i have loved carolla since his days w/ kimmel on "the man show" (yes, i am that old)...just last week started listening to his podcast...fell in love w/ rosen as well...great voice, fabulous personality and while i don't agree w/ everything she says, i love her honesty...needed to see what she looks like...and after seeing i think the name of the show should be changed to "Alison is a Hot Piece of Ass (with a great personality)"!!!

Hello Alison. I've been a fan of Adam's for a long time now. I have a constant interest in his career. I recently started listening to your show. I gotta say that I was impressed by how personal you make the show feel. With the Ace man, I feel like he's talking to many of us but with your show, I feel like you're talking to me. Never felt like that before. I felt sad to hear about the medical issues with your family, and I felt so happy to hear that more people are picking up on you. Thank you for sharing and making your show feel comforting. A plumber from the Inland Empire, Lou.

You're so pretty and funny :)

Hey Alison:  You and Adam were talking about how to know when someone is blowing you off.  There was a caller looking for a second date and the chick said "I'll give you a call".  That means he will never hear from her again.  If she said "I'll call you" that's a different story.  I know this because I am in sales and any  time someone says "I'll give you a call" they don't.  I noticed that I do it too. I guess it's more of a commitment when you say "I will call you."  Also, "Thank you for your time." is the kiss of death.  Think about how many times you've said that to a salesman.  I'm surprised that Adam, with his hypervigilance, hasn't noticed that.  Nancy

This is what a podcast starring Shaggy and Daphne would sound like! :)

I waited until this recent podcast of ARIYNBF with AJ Jacobs to post because honestly, until this podcast, the conversation was pretty stilted and forced. However I hope this episode was a turning point in the show because it was very good. There were very few pauses followed by awkward/forced questions and everything flowed very well. It was basically a full podcast of AR as she is on the Adam Carolla podcast, which is why I believe everyone subscribed to this podcast in the first place.

Great job and keep up the good work.

Love you Alison. The news is my favorite part of the podcast!

Nice "best of" You are a gem, baby doll! Keep up the quips on the Carolla podcast, even if they are stepped on, they are noticed and appreciated. Werd.

 I agree with this statement.

Allison,
When I first started listening to the corolla podcast a year ago I really had it in my mind that I wasn't going to like you. It was nothing personal, just have never liked any woman as a sidekick on a talk show. BUT... you have totally won me over! You are so funny, so sweet and sincere that i can't help but absolutely LOVE YOU!
thanks for being you!
Jared

 This is really great..good job.

I thought you were black.

You talk like normal person now.... In adams show etc. Good luck in your future!
Yours: random guy/h guest from Finland.

Love you.  You're so funny on Adam's podcast.

For what it's worth as just another random douche on the internet... I LOVE Alison on the podcasts. Teressa was great, but Alison is hands-down a much better match. Keep up the great work!

Can you PLEASE stop including every PR move the Kardashians make in your news updates?

You've been an awesome addition to the Adam Carolla show, and I love your new podcast.  Keep up the good work.  You rock!  (PS: you're gorgeous, so any trolls who say anything negative are just losers who could never get a date with you because you wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole!)

Just listened to your podcast with Fred Armisen wherein you talked about your "habit" of looking at negative stuff on the internet about you.  He said something about taking it "one day at a time" and not "quitting cold turkey" and you said "just quit luke warm chicken?".  I have been thinking about starting a recovery podcast.  I thought that was so witty and funny that I decided to name it "Luke Warm Chicken".  I hope you are flattered because you should be.  How's that for positive internet feedback?

Good job on the Alan Carolly show and the new pod is great. Just happened to notice that there is a movie coming out soon with Cameron Diaz called "What To Expect When You're Expecting". Did they rip you off or are you involved?

love your podcast....love you on adam's show also... 

your style of journalism & humor is a breath of fresh air. Can't wait for your own show. keep the spunk !

Alison, Love you@ad797cdc8528539a11f46fc76b3862ed:disqus

 Your podcast is great and for every bad comment you get there are 10,000 satisfied downloaders at home who just enjoy the podcast and don't bother going online to comment. I never have commented but after listening to your Fred Armested episode it sounds like you needed support. Just believe. You are hilarious and just need to remain confident cause you are usually the most clever part of Adams show and you show is great. Also I recieved a change taco the day you mentioned them and was disgusted by it. Glad I'm not the only one.

P.S.

Tell Adam the reason real car guys say he doesn't know jack about cars is cause he thought a 87 Taurus weighted 4000 lbs when a true car guy would guess low 3000's because hardly anything in the 80's weighed 4000 lbs, hell a 98 crown vic obnly weight 3800-4000. Adam just scrambles his car info to often for true car guys like me to fully acknowledge him as a smart car guy.He often doesn't know a e36 bmw from a e46 or e30 bmw.

I just want to marry your brain, Would you marry my brain ha Alison ?

Alison, I just finished listening to the Fred Armisen episode of ARIYNBF, and I hope you have taken his advice to stop reading comments. But in case that hasn't happened, I hope that me telling you that your show is great counteracts some of the negative comments; I don't want to enforce bad behavior though, so if you are reading this then go fuck yourself.

Creative Criticism that won't make you Rosenate.  When you take callers, you have a hard time hanging up with them (totally cute and thoughtful), there seems to be alot of ok's, well thens, gotta gos, etc.  Listen to traditional radio call in shows, they actually just hang up on callers.  Which seems super horrible to do to a fan, I get it.  On radio you will notice announcer: "...and that is the only advice I can give you in that situation, thanks for the call mike.  Robert in fort wayne, indiana, Robert, caller by the name of Robert."  They never say goodbye like a phone call, they just move to the next.  Listen to radio call ins, then your show.

DO NOT ROSENATE OVER THIS.  Love the show.  I was an announcer in college.  So just creative criticism.  Enjoy.

The Adam Corolla show is just so so to me.
Your laugh and your laugh alone keeps me listening to it.

Holy crap!  I just came to your webpage for the first time, and I have already fallen in love with you.  Zip it!

You should use that pic in blue as your main photo instead.  The other one doesnt really look like you. 

I love your podcast but seriously stop being an idiot and texting and driving. Thats just plain stupid. Hitting another car isn't the worst thing that can happen. You could kill a motorcyclist. Or a pedestrian. Whoever and whatever it is can wait until you've gotten to your destination.

Hi Alison. Are you a Highly Sensitive Person? Like your show and "anchor" work on the ACS :) From Paris. Dan

Keep 'em comin'.

Alison I didn't realize you were so hot. bonus. 

never say zip it cunt to you're wife. believe you me. 

I came on here to see what you look like, but more enjoyed reading the comment section full of dipshits giving you advice on how to act/look/etc. You should DEFINITELY listen to them. You probably got to where you are because you have no clue what you are doing. haha.

I really don't like Women personalities in the media in general but you Alison Rosen make me laugh everyday and I really appreciate it. Obviously I probably will never meet you in real life but if I were lucky enough to find a female companion that is like you then I think I would happy in that department! Thanks for the laughs!!

Reposting this from the comment section for your great article about Thomas Kinkade's paintings:What a truly great piece of writing. Just killer. I like you more and more the more I get to know you, Mz. Alison Rosen.Very much enjoy you on the Adam Carolla show - your laugh is kind of wonderful to hear, which is so nice for me as I am currently on my 7th month of a 12-month deployment in Afghanistan.  (It takes 2 hours to upload one podcast here, but it's worth it!) One doesn't get to hear intelligent, beautiful women laughing much in this place.  In Afghanistan, women don't have much to smile about, much less laugh about.
 I'd like to add that I am a photojournalist for the U.S. Army. That's correct: I am a Soldier AND a journalist, which is pretty cool, right? - so look me up if you and your boyfriend part ways. I'm just a Google away, is all I'm sayin'.
Oh and PS: Thomas Kinkade's art is a cancerous growth on our proud American culture. Wtf is wrong with you?Warmest regards,Sgt. Ken Scar7th Mobile Public Affairs DetachmentRegional Command - East

 I am just listening to the Kevin Pereira episode of your podcast and I have to say that I love the that is an "Adam" question comment. I love the Adam Carolla podcast and love you on it, but I have long felt that Adam is too obsessed with money and that this obsession has colored has too much of an influence on the podcast. He needs to be called out more and I love you for this.

I gotta say your podcast with Kevin Pereira was awesome ! Keep up the great work :D

I have to ask with all of this attention to the tragedy of Trayvon Martin why is it that we have not heard one word about Allen Coon, another tragedy that involved black kids setting a white child on fire.  This happened just a few weeks ago and I have not heard this on a single news station, it was brought to my attention by a friend.  Considering the fact that I know that you read this and I know there are a lot of people that listen to the podcast if you could add this story to your podcast so the story gets the recognition it deserves that would be great.  Thanks. If you have trouble finding the story the only places I have found it online are ny daily news and Huffington post.

You are just too cute!

You are awesome. Love your new podcast and listen every day to you on Adam's show. Super awesome and also incredibly beautiful

You said niche right after all :-) (see the third pronunciation):

Hi Alison, just re-posting something I just sent to the ACE show:

Hi ACE broadcasting. I am an Australian and a massive fan of the show, I
have not missed an episode in the 9 months since I discovered it.

I have a topic that I think would be ripe for a discussion on the show -
it regards online messageboards/forums. What it is about the internet as
a reflection of our society, that 80% of the comments you read anywhere,
about anything, are negative 'troll' comments. There are so many on your
own messageboard (one of which I just 'fed the troll' to. The thing that
blows my mind is, these people obviously listen to the show - which
would seem to indictate they enjoy it -  what is with this impulse to
make an inflammatory comment for no reason? Every technology has a
negative side - for mine one of the biggest negatives for the internet
in general is that it gives everyone a voice, and unfortunately, for
some reason, a huge percentage of internet users seem to have this
natural inclination to just shi--ting on everything. For example, the
other day I saw a vid of a guy throw a basketball, hook-style, over the
roof of a big house into a ring setup on the other side of the house - a
truly amazing shot. There were more comments saying how lame it was than
praising it! They obviously don't really THINK it's lame, they couldnt
possibly, but they have this need to SAY it is, just to incite some kind
of conflict. Why is this? I would love to hear ACE and the gang's take
on this disturbing reflection on your average joe today - do people have
a different persona online than in real life? Or were all these
douchebags just anonymous in society before the internet open the
floodgates that they currently pour out of. Hmmm.

Cheers!

Alison- You're killin it on the ACS and I've become a big fan of yours.  A few things I really like about you:  You're the girl that all the other girl's try to be (just one of the guys, thick skin, no boundaries, etc.).  The only difference is with every other girl it comes off as desperate and annoying bc they're constantly trying to maintain that image.  If you were one of those girls you would act like you loved sports.  
You also do a great job complimenting Adam.  I'm not sure how a person can be interrupted that many times in 90 mins and never make it about you.  The premise of the show is to set up Adam for his rants which includes being interrupted constantly and I've never heard you complain and I assume it's because you know it's for the greater good, bravo.  Dr. Spaz doesn't seem to understand this concept.  It's called The Adam Carolla Show for a reason, and whenever he complains about the interruptions I feel like it hurts the show.  It makes me uncomfortable bc I want Adam to be Adam, but I also cringe knowing that Dr. Spaz is gonna cry about his role being diminished. (Sorry Bruce, I had to kinda bash you there to make my point.  I know you're gonna take it personally but it's all in the name of sucking up to Alison, so zip it.)  
Lastly, I love how well you take jabs from the guys.  It shows how secure you are, and how well you understand and appreciate the art of comedy.  Great job, keep bringin the funny because you're really fuckin good at it, and I hope you never get too big for the ACS.  Well actually I do, because you're one of the funniest people out there right now, girl or guy, and I hope you blow up. P.S. Congrats on the success of Aryan Boyfriend (my jewish wife couldn't stop laughing at that).  Your show kicks a lot of ass, and I'm excited to see where it takes you.

Alison, love the ARIYNBF podcast!  PLEASE keep it going :-)   You have recently lamented that there are not enough female podcasters and that no one seems to realize that your podcast is focusing on the relationship aspect of people.  My suggestions it to poach from over at nerdist industries and interview Sex Nerd Sandra.  I think you two do very different shows but would have seriously interesting conversations.  i have no idea where they will go, but In know it will be enlightening.  Please give it a thought.

I like you, because you are clearly hip, knowledgeable, self-aware, but you're not coy.

One word.  sigh...

Alison, I don't know what clicked in, but you've gone from good to absolutely fantastic on the ACS show in 2012. Your timing is perfect, your comments are relatable, your stories are concise and interesting, the jokes you've been throwing in have been hilarious. Keep it up!

Thanks!

Alison has been killing it on the ACS as of late! 

Thanks!

Great job Alison. You have to be quick to hang w/ Adam. Keep it up

So in love with you, but don't tell my girlfriend. You and Adam are dead wrong about Oreo's. I think its your lack of dunk knowledge. I'll gladly split a box (my treat) and show you how to dunk your cookie, properly.

Hey Alison, how about reading this on the news you fucking retarded hypocrite.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/...

Nice language. You're a credit to your party. And if this were anything news-worthy as opposed to feeble partisan tit-for-tat finger pointing I'd gladly include it. Yes, the left includes some misogynists as well. So? Limbaugh is catching hell because he spent three days making weird creepy statements which are out of step with the sentiments of the people, not because he used the word "slut."

Why reply to a guy like this?  Save your typing muscles.  You are overwhelmingly loved on the ACS and we look forward to every new ARIYNBF episode.  Just do what you do and weight the negative comments appropriately.  The vaaaast majority is thumbs up.

Thank you!

Alison, this guy is an idiot. Keep doing what you do. Love listening to you on a daily basis. I am a republican who appreciates the fact that your news reports are informative and entertaining. You and Ace have a nice back and forth that works brilliantly. Keep it up.

Enjoying your podcast, part of my weekly routine now!

Hey Alison.  Just listening to the intro to your latest podcast.  I don't think you need to justify your podcast to your listeners at all!  I for one, love it.  And I don't think I could listen to Adam's podcast if you weren't there.  I think he's great, but you bring a humanizing, grounded witticism to the show. A soothing yet hilarious touch.  Sort of like if I were applying Prep H while watching "Three's Company".  Thanks for everything!

Alison - I am a fan.  Keep up the good work.  I have been married for 9 years but I still get insights about women from listening to your podcast and your comments on Adam's podcast.

Is it weird and or creepy communicating with strangers who visit your site, specifically to find out more about you? Or is it just awesome?

Let adam know that Brietbart did the same thing to ted kennedy when he died. He took a shot at him right after he died. I am sure that had something to do with the nasty comments that rolling stone made.

Actually Rolling Stone's comments weren't that bad. Incendiary headline, yes, but the story itself was pretty nice.

thank you for making my job fun to do. i clean hoppers all day. i am a school maid, well thats how the teachers think i am. anyways it would make me smile all day when i clean the piss off the walls and hoppers if you could give me a shoot out. magoo the custodian from malden ma. 

Alison, your show is off to a great start. I think what makes you so likeable as a co-host and now a host of your own enterprise is your candid, and often self-deprecating personality, which makes us want this to go well for you. You are clearly very smart, funny, and you sound great on the podcasts. Keep up the good work and maybe as this gets rolling you can do more shows per week.

my gf hates you because i think your the funniest girl on the planet lol , everytime your jingle kicks in on the podcast she cringes, but just know its out of jealousy. because you are great!..... and we are to be married one day... did i just type that or think it...... nm, zip it !

I feel like you took the "yes and and" to heart, and at times is a bit awkward. Sometimes asks questions that stump the conversation, where it seems like she is trying to contribute, but just making a question does not mean you are contributing. Maybe to the awkwardness, but that's about it. And I feel like at times you want to question Adam, but are a too intimidated to do so.

Other than that, she's great. The rest of the ladies that tried for this position, were horrible. As time goes by, she is getting way better. There is a progression.

I love listening to you on the podcast.  You alone have changed my opinion that women are just not funny by nature.  Carolla is my all time favorite yet, even I get annoyed when he interupts you. Bring your stand up act to Atlanta sometime.

Doing a great job on the Adam Carolla Podcast, PLEASE keep up the great additions to the show.  Also Aryan Boyfriend is nice, fun and different. Tres enjoyable'

Love you...Keep your politics off the show. 

Which politics would those be?

Wow just one big ball of cuteness and laughs.

You should use the spanish version of hotel california from big lebowski for the question sombrero!

 Hey, Alison.

Adam is my idol. I've been listening to him since I was 15 [I'm 28 now]. So I've been with him for every change, and there's been many. I'll admit, I wasn't happy when Teresa left. I'd always had a bit of a crush on her, and thought she was irreplaceable. But you're damn great as the news girl. Hell, you were in a band, so you're actually a bit of an upgrade. Matter of fact, any chance you're into 28 year old musicians/writers who dig horror, hate Family guy, and shirk responsibility?

Anyway, I just wanted to say you're doing a great job. I know from experience that when you put material, as well as yourself out there, that a lot of hacks just like to run their mouths, and people who like your work don't speak up that often. So, keep on rockin'. Man, that was corny. So was my acknowledgement of it being corny.

- Caliber Winfield

Hey Alison! I wasn't a huge fan when you took over for Theresa, but I am a huge fan now! Loved your first podcast, and you are sooo funny..Keep it up! Oh, I love your flannel tops.. 

You are super awesome and shouldn't be reading these comments. Take a page from Adam's book and ignore all of these. Even at the sacrifice of good comments like mine. I think you're fantastic and couldn't imagine Adam's show without you. Your new podcast is fantastic and I would like to be your new best friend too! 

One of my favorite early Alison quips:
Adam (on the absurdity of cologne 'notes'): What the fuck is 'summer rain' supposed to smell like?

Alison: Wet pavement?
Great stuff. You've become half the reason I listen to the Carolla podcast, and I've listened to Adam since he took over for Poorman on KROQ Loveline. (Orange County fist-bump for you)

wow Alison! i didn't realize you were so hot. Nice work Mr. and Mrs. Rosen

Isn't there supposed to be an Amazon link here somewhere?

Look on the right side of the page under "Support our sponsors"

great to have a new best friend loved the first pod cast 

loved the first podcast. it was funny and interesting. keep it up!

Hi Alison, I love your first podcast with Pete "Paul" Holmes. So many laughs and so much irreverence. It's the first one but I'm sure you'll find your groove pretty quick. You're a sharp one, and funny. A girl with a sense of humor akin to mine. Just keep PINGIN' and PONGIN' BABY! And your gig on the Ace Man's podcast rocks as well. Your jingle there is CATCHY as EFF. Onward and upward, and if people don't like it, tell em' ZIP IT, CUNT!

Loved your inaugural podcast with Pete Holmes!

Thanks!

RSS feed link please! Not everyone uses iTunes, so we can't listen to your podcast without a standard RSS feed link.

hey i just listened to the new podcast and really liked it keep them coming 

Thank you!

I'm an Australian fan and listen to the Adam Carolla Show almost everyday.

I believe the shows current success owes a lot to your personality and input Alison. Your a funny broad :-)

Congrats on your success so far and hope to see you involved with bigger and better things in the future.

Alison,
You are a very talented young woman. I look forward to your part of the Carolann podcast and will subscribe to your new venture. Good luck.

Q: What's the only thing worse than Fox News?   A: Fox News jokes.

Good call on not tweeting about them.  Great bit though -- can't wait for more!

Alison baby we need the RSS feed to get your podcast!

I can't wait to hear it....

Who was the co-host on the first show? I never could figure out who he was.

Good luck with the new show.

I'm a big fan. Read your article on Thomas Kinkade (whose work I don't care for; sorry), and I was saddened to see such hostility from you toward Christians, conservatives, and those with traditional values. You have apparently swallowed the liberal line that such people are "scary". I'm not closed-minded, though (note the first "d"), so I will continue to listen and enjoy your humor, which sometimes almost gets lost in the Carolla maelstrom. "Rape trellis" indeed! Keep up the good work, Alison.
