Well, in this episode, very funny comedian Osama Sadiq joins me. Also, Adam Yenzer's got the news, and we'll do that right after this. You're invited to a special audience screening of the world-famous K-Rock Doc. We were the first to play the biggest bands in the history of music. With producer... Adam Carolla. I made the K-Rock documentary because I kept running into people who had their own stories about K-Rock and their memories of K-Rock. Featuring No Doubt, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink-182, Depeche Mode, The Cure, U2. Los Angeles has a musical punch. That fist has KROQ right on it.
KROQ is where everything happens.
We started broadcasting September 2nd of 1972. We didn't even listen.
The world-famous KROQ doc. It captures a time that will never exist again. Saturday, June 20th at 8 p.m. Tickets at adamcarolla.com. At first, I didn't think it was real. I woke up to this blinding light, and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV! Then, I heard a voice. Come with me if you want to live.
How does the K-Rock documentary reflect on music history?
There were thousands of movies and shows, and they were all free! The truth is, it's just so beautiful!
On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe, Arrow, The 100, and The X-Files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary. Pluto TV. Stream now. Pay never.
From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, comedian Husama Siddiqui. Plus the news with Adam Yenzer. And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get on the church. We got a mandate. Get it on. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for telling a friend. Love that about you. Sama Siddiqui. Hello. Comedian. You may have seen him on the Netflix series. The Kevin Hart series. Funny as fuck. I'll say the whole thing here. Came in second. You know, though, and I never thought about this. Everyone wants to win all the competitions. But if you go back and you look at... American Idol or Singer or Comics. I feel like number two has a better, longer career than number one.
Clay Aiken, Jennifer Hudson. All the great comedians. One Direction. All the funniest. The funniest Americans. You know what? I don't know. Let's look up who won the major stuff. Now, you can't do Dancing with the Stars because Mario Lopez was Mario Lopez before Dancing with the Stars. But... The shows that are like America's Got Talent, I'd say that Idol and stuff like that, number two probably bears better. So this is good for you. It felt good. I mean, at the moment, it was devastating, man.
I mean, Jesus Christ, like on screen, millions of people not hearing the name destroyed me. But then 10 seconds in, I had those same thoughts. I was like, it's all good. Yeah. The visibility is crazy. The fans are there. And the pressure is off. Now everything you do, there's kind of that underdog indignance. People are like, no, man, you should have won, blah, blah, blah.
And that helps way more than, oh, so you won. Let's see what's up. Yeah, yeah. I agree. In a weird way, when I used to play baseball a lot – And I would fantasize – like a lot of guys would fantasize about hitting the home run. I would fantasize about having an incredible at-bat that ended up with a strikeout. Yeah. Where you foul off seven balls and you hit three that – just missed the foul pole and would have been home runs, and then you take a big cut and go out. There's something more glorious about that than a garden variety home run. People love the grit more than anything. That shove that Wemby did to Brunson recently, that's going to put Brunson in this beautiful underdog thing for even more.
Yeah, I agree.
And I have that... Love for that. And I think the journey is always more fun, but it doesn't really matter, man. If you got on the show at that level, you're getting seen by so many fucking people that it does not matter. Yeah.
So you can tell, I mean, the thing about doing comedy is, is you don't need to look at the Nielsen ratings or the overnights or how you're doing in your demographic.
