On Factor, Carolla will assume a role similar to that of comedian and radio host Dennis Miller, who appears on the show weekly to comment on political and social issues.

Carolla is also expected to appear on other Fox News shows, the network confirmed on Thursday.

Carolla’s politics lean conservative and libertarian, though he’s a progressive on some liberal issues. Recently, he has been touring with conservative talker Dennis Prager, appearing in live shows where the two discuss a variety of issues.

Carolla’s podcast, The Adam Carolla Show, is listed in Guinness World Records as the “most downloaded podcast.”
