Adam Carolla is a comedian who provides the voice for Spanky Ham on Drawn Together. At the beginning of the series, Carolla used a voice very close to his regular speaking voice for the character, but gradually shifted to a gruffer, more exaggerated tone. Carolla's lack of singing ability has been incorporated into multiple episodes for comic effect, including "Requiem for a Reality Show" and "American Idol Parody Clip Show".
Prior to joining the cast of Drawn Together, Carolla worked on The Man Show with Drawn Together creators Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein. He also does the voice of Death on Family Guy. After becoming the host of his own radio show, The Adam Carolla Show, Carolla would occasionally have the creators and/or various cast members of Drawn Together on the program as guests.
