Bald Bryan

Bryan Bishop, popularly known as Bald Bryan, is best known as the sound effects wiz on The Adam Carolla Show (in both its terrestrial radio and online podcast formats). His rapid-fire ability to insert humorous short audio clips (or "drops") into the show in real-time is beloved by fans. On the terrestrial radio show, he was also well-known for his ability to secretly record snippets of over-the-air audio and re-insert them at surprising moments (he famously fooled co-host Danny Bonaduce into believing he was having a conversation with William Donohue of the Catholic League when it was in fact a recording of Donohue from earlier in the interview). Unfortunately, the podcast format of the show is not yet technically equipped to allow him to do this.

Bishop was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in 2009 (shortly after the radio show had folded). A charity event titled Laughs for Bald Bryan was organized by Adam Carolla later that year and featured on The Adam Carolla Podcast. It featured performances from comedians like Greg Fitzsimmons, Larry Miller, and Joel McHale.
