On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, actor Tom Pelphrey
stops by the studio! Adam and Tom dive into Tom’s early career,
starting with soap operas, which Tom describes as a kind of boot
camp for actors. The conversation shifts to his relationship with
Kaley Cuoco and the massive success of The Big Bang Theory, with
Adam pointing out the lack of hit three-camera sitcoms since.
They also discuss the importance of turning off your phone,
staying present, and finding purpose in productive work. Tom asks
Adam about his tough upbringing and whether it contributed to his
success, leading to a candid exchange about Adam’s transition
from radio to podcasting and the financial struggles of building
his show in the early days.

Later, singer, songwriter, and actress Debbie Gibson joins the
studio to talk about her new book Eternally Electric: The Message
in My Music. She reflects on the challenges of writing an
autobiography at this stage in her career and the whirlwind of
finding fame at such a young age. Debbie explains how she hustled
her way into the music industry by performing in small clubs, the
sacrifices she made to protect her artistic integrity, and the
pressure she faced from record producers to change her style. She
also opens up about how touring has evolved over the years, how
fame affected her when she was young, and what it was like to
meet her musical heroes, including Elton John, George Michael,
Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston.

Get it on.
