JC Olivera Jimmy Kimmel got teary-eyed while honoring podcaster-comedian Adam Carolla, his longtime friend and former colleague, at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on Wednesday.
Kimmel began his speech by remembering his first introduction to Carolla, which came in 1994 when the late-night star was working on “Kevin and Bean,” a Los Angeles radio show. Then a boxing instructor, Carolla called into KROQ and was brought in to prepare Kimmel for a boxing match. The first time Carolla was put on the air, Kimmel recalled his roast; “Adam told ‘Kevin and Bean,’ ‘Jimmy is 160 pounds of pure chiseled steel. Unfortunately, he weighs 225.’”
