LOS ANGELES — Last place became last dance for Adam Carolla on "Dancing With the Stars."

The 43-year-old comedian and his professional partner, two-time champ Julianne Hough, were eliminated from the ABC dance-off during Tuesday's results show.

Carolla incorporated a unicycle into the couple's paso doble, but the performance earned a meager 19 out of 30 from the judges during Monday's show.

"You are such a lovable character that (we) just want you to do well, but unfortunately you're not much of a dancer," head judge Len Goodman said.

Judges scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which couple is eliminated each week.

Carolla said he "had the time of my life" during his four weeks on the show.

"I recommend this experience to anyone who's scared of everything," he said. "You at home, there's something that scares you. There's something that's your 'Dancing With the Stars.' Embrace it. Don't run from it."

Looking at his partner, Carolla said, "I lost 25 pounds of fat and I gained 105 pounds of angel."

Tuesday's show also featured a mini-competition between two 8-year-old ballroom-dance couples and a live performance by Sheryl Crow, who performed her breakthrough hit, "All I Wanna Do," and her latest single, "Out of Our Heads."

The remaining competitors include pro football player Jason Taylor, Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi, R&B singer Mario, and actors Shannon Elizabeth, Christian de la Fuente, Marlee Matlin, Priscilla Presley and Marissa Jaret Winokur. Steve Guttenberg, Monica Seles and Penn Jillette have already been eliminated.

Someone has a lot of explaining to do for labeling Adam Corolla as a "comedian". And shame on whoever put the turbulent, brooding Gilbert Gottfried in the same paragraph as this worthless, unfunny hack.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger schmuck! Why does anyone work with Corolla? He's the only - ONLY - member of the Actors Guild who crossed the picket line to make a commercial during the strike a couple of years ago. (Technically Tiger Woods did too, but he has a personal services contract with Buick, and wasn't actually paid by the advertising agency).

Carolla is a no-talent hack with zero appeal, and a scab to boot. He even looked pissed off when everybody gave Marlee Matlin a standing ovation for her first dance. I changed channels every time he came on. Good riddance.

Looks like no one voted for Pedro. That mustache is worse than Corey Feldman's.

He would've been gone a long time ago had it not been for his partner, who's easily the best dancer on the show. She has a huge fan base, and obviously not just because of her dancing skills. No doubt, a lot of people voted for him because of her. But even that wasn't enough. I don't know how they assign dancers, but I'm guessing that out of fairness to the other professional dancers on the show, they pair the previous winner with the celeb who has the least potential, sort of like a sports draft where the lowest ranked team gets the first pick. But instead of ranking the dancers and celebs, the assignments should be completely random. The previous winner shouldn't be penalized for winning.

Since Cheryl and Julianne both won twice in a row I don't think your analysis is correct. I was happy to see him go because he thought he was funny but I found him to be obnoxious.

Baloney. The ones who were worse than him went first. This was only the 4th elimination.

Oh, and the article above needs to remove some quotation marks. The show can be watched online and they really misquoted several comments Adam made.

I put Carolla in the Gilbert Godfrey category ....just that obnoxious way...and that obvious voice.

Dr. Drew carried him back in the day

Its obvious he is trying to revitalize his sinking career.

Oh yeah I put him in the Dennis Miller zone as well.

I've always hated him and it's a shame Juliannne got stuck with him. She is absolutely delicious.

I love the Ace Man!! He was the only thing that made that show even remotely watchable. I never watched it before he was on and I know I won't be able to stomach it now that he's gone.

Really. "The Arthur Murray Hour" had better dancing when I was a whelp. Carola's the first person on DWS with any real BALLS! How appropriate that dufus from America's Funniest Videos is the host.

He really thinned down for the show, and put his heart into it. Still, I don't think any of them could dance the full hour. You saw what happened to Marie Osmond after one number. (and some really good diet pills....)

Yeah, Adam is one of the few "celebs" with a personality. I agree that Priscilla is a zombie with a frozen face. Anyone notice that when her partner puts his arms around her or otherwise touches her, she removes his arms/hands. I have noticed that at least twice. There are no physical expressions of joy from her, even when she does well. I'm surprised Christian is not getting more coverage--I don't know who his fan base is. I don't care for Mario (or his partner) or Marlee, but love Jason and Kristi. Janet and Shannon are OK, too.

She's not really gone - the pros dance when the musical guests sing, so you can still see her dancing, it won't be with Adam though.

Julianne Hough is orders of magnitude more talented, attractive, and appealing than
any Hollyweird star - Lohan Hilton, etc, etc.

not to mention sexy and beautiful.

hard to believe she's only 19 !?

Pairing those two was a disservice and a waste of time.
Carolla is a jerk, can't dance and is not funny and has no other talent than insulting people

I know Adam and he's a great guy. What you people don't realize is that he plays a character of the pubescentarded manchild slacker. That is not him. Intellectual, sensitive, funny, the way his breaches fit him just so and the light plays off his jet-black hair in the morning. You don't know him. How he's a little embarrassed because he likes his coffee with extra cream and sugar, how he always gives money to homeless people, how he carpools to work. He is super nice to his mom and volunteers at an animal shelter. He's considerate. You're just a bunch of judgers and namesayers.
