Adam Carolla Elimination: Backstage Report
Adam and <a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/julianne-hough/507219' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Julianne Hoguh,</font></a> how do you feel about leaving the show?
<b>Adam:</b> I feel bad. I feel like I let this one down. <b>Julianne:</b> Which he hasn't -- at all. I think he did an amazing job. And I think that he definitely is leaving the competition too soon. I think that he's going to be missed. He was one of the best things about the show this season.
Adam, do you think the unicycle did you in?
<b>Adam:</b> I don't know. My feeling is that if I get to ride my unicycle in front of 20 million people, I'm getting on it! That was my take. I know that the judges aren't huge fans of what they call "props." They see them as crutches. The unicycle was hardly a fake set of bullhorns.
Julianne, do you think you made Adam a better dancer?
<b>Julianne:</b> Adam has improved so much. If he'd stayed on, he would have improved even more. I thought it was great when Adam said what he thought this competition had done for him and what [taking on comparable challenges] could do for other people. I'm so glad that everybody got a taste of who I got to know.
Julianne, what will you do now? Will we see you on the show later this season?
<b>Julianne:</b> I know I'm going to be coming back for the 100th show with ... [turns to publicist] can I say with <a href="http://television.aol.com/celebrity/apolo-anton-ohno/505176" target="_blank">Apolo [Anton Ohno]</a>? Oops. That didn't happen. I'll be back and forth. I'm going to focus on the tour with <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/brad-paisley/371262/main" target="_blank">Brad Paisley</a> and my album that's coming out in May.
Adam, what's next for you?
<b>Adam:</b> I have a little movie called <a href="http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-hammer/32159/main" target="_blank">'The Hammer,'</a> which is sweeping the nation. I have a morning radio show, which is syndicated. You can go to <a href="http://www.adamcarolla.com" target="_blank">AdamCarolla.com</a> and listen to it wherever you are. I have twins and a wife that I miss terribly and a few TV shows lined up, as well. I have plenty of irons in the fire.
Adam and Julianne, what will you miss about each other?
<b>Adam:</b> I think her hair and then her teeth. Teeth and hair. <b>Julianne:</b> I'm going to miss his personality. He's so funny, but at the same time he's such a really great guy.
<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/marissa-winokur/302006' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Marissa Winokur,</font></a> will you miss Adam?
<b>Marissa:</b> Adam and I got along so well. Adam's gone! <a href="http://television.aol.com/celebrity/penn-jillette/96067" target="_blank">Penn [Jillette]</a> is gone. The "Goot" [<a href="http://television.aol.com/celebrity/steve-guttenberg/29352" target="_blank">Steve Guttenberg</a>] is gone. I've got the pressure of being the funny one backstage now! I have to hold the torch. I love Adam. I've become a huge fan of his radio show. I "get" him now. He's hilarious.
<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/marlee-matlin/46423' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Marlee Matlin,</font></a> are you really going to be on Adam's radio show?
<b>Marlee:</b> Yes. The deaf lady is doing radio. How cool will that be? I'm not sure that any of the 26 million deaf people [in America] will be able to hear it, but that's OK.
<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/priscilla-presley/57702' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Priscilla Presley,</font></a> how did it feel to be in the bottom two?
<b>Priscilla:</b> [Laughs] You have to remind me? I think the viewers were affected by the scoring of the judges and listened to them. I didn't think that the lift that we did was that big of a deal. My foot went up a little bit.
<a href='http://television.aol.com/celebrity/cheryl-burke/507214' target='_blank'><FONT COLOR='#2864B4'>Cheryl Burke,</font></a> did you enjoy the two young dancing couples' competition?
<b>Cheryl:</b> I hated it. I understand that young dancers compete. I used to compete at that age. But I think it's a little hurtful to [learn you're not advancing] before millions and millions of people. I didn't like it.
