Exclusive: Adam Carolla Developing Animated Show at Fox
Aug 12, 2011

"The Man Show" and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Adam Carolla is getting animated.
The comedian has teamed up with former "King of the Hill" executive producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky to produce "The Birchums", which has landed a presentation order from Fox.
"The Birchums" is based on a character Carolla popularized in the 1990s on Los Angeles radio station KROQ's Kevin and Bean morning show. "Mr. Birchum" — essentially an even gruffer version of Carolla's cynical persona — is a hard-nosed, old-school woodshop teacher who's a bit frustrated at the world.
"The Birchums" would expand that universe, focusing on his interactions with family and friends as he puts up with an increasingly unmanly world.
