I just watched The Man Show and they said it’s the last one ever. They did a montage of a lot of stuff, Jimmy’s voice cracked at the end of the show and they did one last, “Siggy Socky”. Is it really over? Why wasn’t I consulted? Where the hell was the media on this one? Where am I going to find another show that had underage kids selling beer and women jumping on trampolines?

Yep, that was the last one. I guess Jimmy is doing his talk show, and Adam is… I have no idea what Adam is going to do. ---

Isn’t Adam a writer on the Jimmy Kimmel Show? ---

Unless I misunderstood, the last episode was actually the next one or something. I watched that episode, and right after it ended Comedy Central ran an ad saying “new episode” and the last Man Show ever - to be aired the next day. Maybe something got messed up, but either way, the show is ending. ---

Gee, I’m so sad now that there is one less Tv show hosted by two guys whose idea of humor consists entirely of dick and fart jokes, and has a studio audience whose collective IQ is below that of distilled water. Will it be missed? Not hardly. ---

I can undestand Jimmy Kimmel having a show. He’s a competent comedian. Adam Corolla, though - how did this guy even get into show business? He’s like the love child of Ray Romano and David Schwimmer with all the comedic skill and timing of a school bus fire. ---

I only watched “The Man Show” to see the “girls jumping on trampolines” at the end. I had no idea that would work so well for me (know what I mean?). And for that favor, I thank Mr Kimmel and Mr Corolla. Talk about fighting ignorance! ---

**Payton’s Servant** - Did you wash your hands after pissing all over the place? Really, you knew you didn’t like the show before opening Cafe Society today. You knew you didn’t like the show before opening the thread titled “The Man Show - Over?”. You knew you didn’t like the show before reading the first 4 threads which obviously setup the general theme of the thread that people enjoyed the show and are sad/shocked it is over. Yet, you still pissed all over for what reason again? Now, who has what collective IQ again? For the record, I loved this show and my IQ is rather healthy thank you.

It’s not over over, just over for these two hosts (and yes, Adam still has his Loveline gig). The next season will have two no hosts, one of which is Joe Rogan (from Fear Factor and News Radio, and actually isn’t a bad standup comedian). No word yet on the suckage level this may hit. ---

**MeanJoe** , I guess it makes people feel superior to cut down something they don’t like, instead of ignoring threads about them. Some folks need something, anything, to make themselves feel adequate. ---

He was perhaps the funniest, dirtiest comedians I’ve ever seen. However, I dunno how we’ll fare taking over the man show. I regularly watch The Man Show with my gf. She loves it! ---

Look at all of Payton’s Servant posts. That is what (s)he does. Almost every time I see that name, there’s going to be some making fun of the OP and anyone else who agrees with the subject matter of the thread. ---

I thought Loveline went off the air like 5 or 6 years ago? Did it come back on? BTW, the Jimmy Kimmel show has already been canceled. Jerks barely gave him a chance :(. ---

The Jimmy Kimmel Show has not been canceled. Loveline the TV show has been off the air for several years. Loveline the radio show is still going strong. ---

I’m a woman and I think The Man Show is hilarious. It’s an irreverent look at “regular guys” and their un-PC take on women’s foibles. I mean, how can you not laugh at those blue collar, beer swilling, over the hill frat boys? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tradnor \* > \*\*The Jimmy Kimmel Show has not been canceled. > \*\* I’m almost positive that Adam Corolla said on the Stern show that the Jimmy Kimmel Show has been canceled. Yes, they’re still showing new episodes but it’s not uncommon for a show to have several episodes in queue when it’s canceled and they still air them. Futurama was canceled over a year ago and they’re still showing new episodes. ---

He’s like the love child of Ray Romano and David Schwimmer with all the comedic skill and timing of a school bus fire. \*\* The difference between Carolla on TV and Carolla on radio is night and day. On TV I completely agree with your assesment but he cracks me up on his radio show. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-man-show-over/173113.md?page=2)
