Man On The Street, "The Adam Carolla Show"

 

“Big” Tad Newcomb was born and raised in Orange County, where he continues to live with his mother despite the fact that he is a 30 year old man. 

Tad’s radio career began as an intern at KROQ-FM, where he caught the eye of sports guy and future late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.   Jimmy was delighted by his cherubic intern and brought him to the attention of hosts Kevin and Bean.  Kevin and Bean assigned Tad to do a series of ill-fated celebrity interviews. 

Big Tad was a full time part of the Kevin and Bean show from 1995 until 2000, when he left (was fired) and went to work for Kimmel and Adam Carolla on Comedy Central’s “The Man Show”

Tad served as production assistant for two seasons, then was promoted to music assistant for the final season of the show.  After “The Man Show”, Tad worked two seasons at Comedy Central’s “Crank Yankers” before taking a job as a TV watcher at “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.

Thanks to the merciful Adam Carolla, Big Tad is now back doing what he loves most – being stupid on the radio. 

Tad serves as “man on the street” reporter and “chunky flunky” for the Adam Carolla Radio Show.

Tad’s long term goal is to find a woman who will have sex with him.
