Adam Corolla appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and said, “I used to like sports. I am done with Los Angeles and sports. First off, the Dodgers. Does anyone know what the Dodgers' record is right now? 13-13. … They’re exactly where they were before the season even started. … It’s the boringest sport in the world, and I thought to myself, the only way the Dodgers are getting me back to the ballpark … (is) to institute the divorce cam (instead of a kiss cam).” Corolla: “A lot of these (people) insist on proposing at the ballpark. … Fine, you can do that, but seven years later when you get divorced, you have to come back to the stadium” (
“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 5/3).
