Here's what I want to say about my time on ACS…

I loved working for Adam Carolla, loved being a part of The Adam Carolla Show and was proud to be a part of the Carolla Digital Network. I’m enormously grateful for the opportunity, the laughs and the amazing run we had. I learned so much and thought I brought something special to the show as well.

While I was surprised at the way things ended, I understand this is show business, and all good things ultimately come to an end. Adam is the boss and has to run his show as he sees fit. The last thing I want is for our amazing four years to end on a down beat.

I’m sorry to the fans for all the controversy that’s arisen. Podcasting is an intimate medium and it’s a rare privilege to have become a part of your daily lives. In turn, you deserve the best from us.

I’m very excited about the future and the next chapter but I’ll miss sitting next to Adam every day.

I love Adam as a friend, a mentor and a comedian and I wish him and the rest of my Carolla Digital colleagues nothing but the best.
