** Recently, comedian Jo Koy's "Bung Lu Soo" character (aka "The Rooster"), who has evolved from his "generic Asian guy accent" bit. He's constantly trying to join old 70s bands and goes on weird tangents. When he's not trying to join musical acts, he's the host at PF Chang's, not allowing Adam to sit down despite his reservation.

* TheScrooge: Mike August. One would guess given he probably lives comfortably between working for Adam and ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'', but he's notorious for being and extreme cheapskate, always seeking out free food (See BigEater), once stole all the toilet paper from a comedy club's guesthouse, and famously wore his brother-in-laws shoe's while housesitting for him so as not to put unnecessary wear and tear on his own shoes.

* AffectionateNickname: Adam's is Ace or Ace-Man, Engineer Matt "The Porcelain Punisher" Fondiler, Assistant Gary Half-Tard (and the now-fired Gary Full-Tard), Producer Chris "Maxipada" Laxamana, Assistant "The Stoned Pelican" Mike August, Agent James "Babydoll" Dixon, Newsgirl Alison "Baby Girl" Rosen, and of course Soundboard/Producer "Bald" Bryan Bishop. Frequent guest David Alan Grier is often referred to as DAG.

* DrinkOrder: Will always be a Mangria, his brand of high-alcohol Sangria.

* DumbassDJ: One of his regular targets and impressions is the morning drive-time DJ who is too excited to be reading weather weather weather, news top of the hour, at the half hour, traffic traffic traffic weather etc. Also the stereotypical strip club DJ (Him imitating them with a string of strip club cliches, always ending with "Jade, stage five!" while Bald Bryan plays a '''Cherry Pie''' music bed).

The show's typically starts off with Adam discussing whatever has caught in his craw that day. This includes current events but also complaining about Los Angeles (traffic, stupid laws, etc) and various minor aggravations of his that he can turn into hour-long rants (see BerserkButton below). Then usually a guest(s) will come or call in and Adam will interview them. Regulars include Matt Achity (RottenTomatoes owner), David Wild, a music journalist, and several fan-favorite comedians like David Alan Grier, Jo Koy, and Deaf Frat Guy. The show ends with the news segment, which may get through several news stories or just one, depending how much Adam riffs on each item.

* The RottenTomatoes game, guessing what the score given to a themed series of movies

ACS is part of the Carolla Digital network, which has a massive arsenal of podcasts. Adam additionally co-hosts ''The Adam and Dr. Drew Show'' (a revival of sorts from their days together on ''LoveLine'') and ''Ace on the House'' with his old buddy Ray (or Ace on the Roof, if you prefer), and ''Take A Knee'', which features one-on-one interviews. Adam's wife Lynette also has a podcast on the network (all about Music/BruceSpringsteen).

* BadAss: Adam boxed and played football in his youth. He worked as a carpenter, and currently races in professional car races.

** Sunny (Adam's son) saying "It's just a waste of my time" and "What are you talking about."

* PolarOppositeTwins: Adam's twins, Sunny and Natalia, are complete opposites in personality, according to Adam. He describes Natalia (a wreckless, hyperactive daredevil type) as akin to raising three kids, while his son Sunny more akin to raising an old cat (just leave him in a room with a juice box and some LEGO bricks and he's good for a few weeks).

* {{Kayfabe}}: Always in effect when Deaf Frat Guy is on. Really a comedian named Josh Gardner, he only appears in character. Though, sometimes they forget about his ObfuscatingDisability (being deaf, of course) and he'll reply to callers or do similar things a deaf person couldn't do without specail aids. They HandWave this to a degree, with a little LeaningOnTheFourthWall thrown in.
