Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Bio

Comments

An established journalist who has written for Rolling Stone, The NY Post, Page Six Magazine, Vibe, Spin, Maxim, The Village Voice, People and Seventeen and a go-to TV guest commentator, Alison Rosen has a quick wit, sharp tongue and a keen sense of pop culture, news and humor.

Alison began her career as a professional journalist early – scoring a contributing writer byline for the Los Angeles Times while still in high school in California. A prodigious writer and guitarist in a punk rock band, Alison worked at the OC Weekly in Orange County as a music writer and then as Features Editor before moving to New York and helming the “Hot Seat” section of Time Out New York where she worked from 2005 to 2008.

Alison has also carved a niche for herself as a pretty, witty and slightly devilish TV writer and guest, appearing regularly on the late-night gab-fest “Red Eye” on Fox News Channel, where she has also helped to develop the show’s distinctive double entendre guest introductions.

Previously, Alison’s weekly segment “Best Bets” ran on New York’s WNBC-TV from 2005 to 2008, where she highlighted and discussed events going on in the city. She has appeared on A&E’s “Biography,” “The Montel Williams Show,” “Hannity & Colmes,” E!’s “Chelsea Lately,” Fox & Friends,” Fox 5’s “Good Day New York,” the CW 11 “Morning News,” the CBS 2 News “This Morning” and hosted numerous “Time Out On Demand” segments.

In late 2008 she performed stand up at Gotham Comedy Club and won the title “New York’s Funniest Reporter.”

Since January, 2011 she has been Adam Carolla’s news girl and cohost of The Adam Carolla Show, the #1 most downloaded podcast in the world.

    Love you Alison on the podcast. I've been watching/listening to Adam since the start of the man show and never missed him on the radio or a podcast. I never thought anyone could replace T but you not only replaced her, you blew right past her. You are funny, witty, and sexy aka the complete package. Keep up the great work!!!!
  • mactarkus
    You and Adam are the next Robin and Howard.  Keep it up!
  • Steve
    Just thought I'd take a sec to say that you're doing an amazing job on the podcast. It's probably not easy to try to mix in just the right amount of comedic value as the 'news girl', but you are absolutely kicking ass. Oh, and as an aside, you're also super-duper pretty. Thanks for making a great show even better.

    love you on Red eye

    Only believe half of what you see, none of what you hear and read, and take the rest worth a grain of salt.

    but I believe everything you say.  ( :^)>

    Dear Allison , I was sad to hear how upset you became by the fatgirls are easy comment, first of all screw those idiots who would'nt know a beautiful woman if she sat on their face, second you are drop dead gorgeous and your incredibly quick wit is second only to Adams,You compliment the podcast like no other female could and your humorous side is awesome, you are an intelligent and beautiful young woman and don't ever let any man or woman convince you otherwise, you are the shit...aka the best !!!!!! now zip it cunt!!!!!!....lol......................, Johnny (Snootsdad)

    Alison,
    Your signoff  "ZIP IT C..."  is awesome.  Don't listen to the fairy's.  I laugh my azz off everytime you say it.  LOL.   Keep up the good work.
  • MikeL
    I just picked up the Adam Carolla podcast recently, and have to say, I think you guys do a fantastic job.  I listen to you on my commute to work, and have to try not to drive into other cars from laughing so hard.  The interaction between you all is truly comedically gifted, and you are a perfect fit with each other.  Keep up the great work and I look forward to many years of hilarity!

    Hey Alison,

    Here's a link to a recent CNN article about cancer sniffing dogs, something Adam has been talking about for a while:

    You're great on the show!

    Hi Alison, I went to college with you and would love to get back in touch.
  • Hi! Did you used to have a different last name? This is like a fun guessing game!
  • The Caribbean Jew (Cuban B)
    Did you go to Upland HS?

    That was the news, I'm Alison Rosen, and I like to party.
  • jim rockford
    Did you say something about Redlands? Are you from there?
  • Joshuaajones
    Hey Alison, I just finished watching your vlog on youtube, where you were talking about issues you've had with your body image. I thought it was refreshingly honest and courageous, but a bit sad. What I see, is a strikingly beautiful, educated, witty, "catch." But whats even more impressive is that this natural warmth just seems to radiates off you.  I know this might sound a little "stalkerish," but this what I see on youtube and hear on the podcast. You are what most good men are looking for. So in short, I hope you feel better. Just keep being you, because that's enough.
  • flojochico
    yr awesome on carolla podcast, great sport, "zip it c..... ?", how many women could roll with that?
  • I know you've heard this a million times but you are aaaawesome on the Carolla Show. He was talking about how everyone sucks in the beginning, but in all honesty, you've been awesome since DAY ONE (really).
  • Wow, thank you!
  • I'm Alison Rosen, and if this were Facts of Life, I'd be Tootie

    mike.
    i still miss Theresa she was smart, quick witted and not a kiss ass to adam, i stopped listening to the pod cast during the merry go round of guest new chicks but i have to say i am glad i came back to listening, as alison and adam get more comfortable with each other the show gets better and better.

    good choice ace man!
  • I've been catching up on the Carolla podcasts. Just listened to your story about your two dates with the covert White Supremacist. I think you handled it wrong. You should have had sex with him.

    Here me out: You have sex with him, and really go all out. I mean, rock his world, give him the best sex of his life. And then when he falls asleep, you get out of bed and sneak out the house, but first you write on his bathroom mirror in lipstick "YOU JUST F***ED A JEW!!!!"

    That would shatter his whole self-image. That's the perfect revenge.

    You get Better And Better.. Day By Day.. Keep up the good work...

    Alison is not only incredibly funny and quick with comebacks, she is also very beautiful. Love her voice too! A perfect foil for Adam Carolla and company.
  • Ordersdave
    Keep it simple "That was the news, I'm Alison Rosen and don't believe everything you hear."
  • good
  • markbober
    You are Adam's Robin Quivers. I actually turned the Stern Show off this morning to listen to the podcast... First time that's happened.
  • VaMoots
    Talk about damning with faint praise! Alison is infinitely more talented and valuable to the Carolla show than Robin is to Stern. I have been a Stern superfan for 15 years, but at this point I listen to Carolla more consistently than Stern, in part because Howard's show has become far too reliant on Robin since Artie was fired - er, I mean, placed on medical leave.
  • Carlie12
    You are great on the podcast!!! always making me laugh. Keep it up :)
  • Dyrtdawg
    Alison...thanks for ability to entertain!
  • My pleasure!

  • You are doing an outstanding job!
  • optionsninja
    you are an excellent balance to Adam! keep up the good work!
  • gpbennett
    Here's my suggestion for your news close: "I'm Alison Rosen, and if this were Facts of Life, I'd be Tootie."
  • Gqtaste
    You are a fine piece of ass Alison. If you ever get around to coming to Oklahoma City I'm your man.
  • Bob
    You're a perfect fit on the Ace podcast. I knew Adam would make the right choice. It would be smart to include you on his road show.
  • steam
    you're great on adam's show. you're like a hotter younger funnier less self hating version of t. love you!
  • AmokZamboni
    Kudos also on the Carolla News Girl gig. Great job. Makes me wish I was part of the gang, and especially in your inner circle...
  • The new Adam Carolla News Girl! Seems very nice. Good luck to you!
  • skippy
    You, my dear, are the complete package! marry me?
  • Adam
    Congrats on the Carolla Show!!
  • Brandon
    The Aceman made the right choice. Congratulations.
  • TC
    Congrats on getting the Carolla job.
  • Kissfrommyownrose
    You are pretty, witty, and slightly devilish.

    -Alison
  • vegasato
    Loving you on Carolla!
  • Jamesvok
    I would love to hear you on the Carolla show. You get our vote!
  • Tist724
    Like you the best on the Carolla show. Hope you get the gig.
  • lostmyshape
    I have to agree with most of these posts: you're far and away the sharpest of the recent newswoman hopefuls. For one, you clearly know where Adam wants to take each bit, and you move him along seamlessly. It would be a shame if it went to anyone else. Since T left, the show's core dynamic has been missing. Hope to hear you from here on out. Good luck, Alison; we're pulling for you.
  • Crikey!
    I didn't care who Carolla got until you came along. You're fast on your feet, smart, and have been able to crack up a guy who doesn't often laugh out loud. You also sound like you want it, whereas some ot the others just seem to be treating it like another audition. 1 or 2 don't seem to even be familiar with the show. I hope it's you that gets the gig.
  • Driver 27
    I think you're doing a good job on the Carolla show. Good luck, my vote is for Rosen.
  • Udon
    the NEW "T"
    can we just call you Scarlet hamina,hamina...
  • AssociateVP
    Listening to the Adam Carolla podcast (January). Are you friggin stoned? Speed it up sister and grab some better news stories. NOT listenable. You'll not get the gig I promise.
  • Thanks so much for coming to my web site to leave me this sweet note!
  • tony tizzle
    "Don't be a one-upper like i said before" lol. You are cool in my book ms. rosen
  • Andrew O. Dugas
    Screw that guy. You're kicking ass. You're quick and on your toes. The "yes and" recurrence had me cackling out loud. Unfortunately I was in the office men's room at the time.
  • Aw, thank you! I suffer a little too much from wanting to please all the
    people all the time (and also wanting to pick my friends' noses) so I
    appreciate the vote of confidence!
  • Hal
    You are very funny and intelligent! You are great! Wow! What a great lady! Yeah!
  • Sundaystyle
    I agree with P. Cooper..... I had never heard of you before Carolla's podcast, but now I am a huge fan. Best replacement for Teressa Strasser so far. Hope you are back on the show soon.
  • Peter Cooper
    hey, heard you on adam carolla's podcast, good show. i hope you become a regular there. you came prepared, ace man likes that.
  • Alison Rosen Is My New Best Friend, Yeah!!!!
