It's the age-old comedy argument: Are women funny? According to ADAM CAROLLA, they are NOT. For the most part, anyway. And on the various writing staffs he's been a part of, the women tended to be the LEAST funny.
--Adam says, quote, "They make you hire a certain number of chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor, I'm just gonna tell her, 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom.
--"'Because they'll have to hire you, they can't really fire you and you don't have to produce that much. It'll be awesome.'"
--Carolla then likened hiring women for comedy purposes to picking Jewish guys for your basketball team. (???)
--He said, quote, "You'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds.
--"When it comes to comedy, of course there's Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Kathy Griffin . . . super funny chicks. But if you're playing the odds? No.
--"If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they'd be off TV. They're not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we'd know who she was? Honestly."
