Alison Rosen is a writer, TV personality and podcaster best known for her podcasts, “Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend” and "Childish," as well as being the former “newsgirl” and co-host of "The Adam Carolla Show.”

Alison’s roots are in traditional media: She began her career as a professional journalist early, scoring a contributing writer byline for the Los Angeles Times while still in high school. Her work has appeared in Rolling Stone, People, Seventeen, Elle, the New York Post, Vibe, Spin, Maxim, the Village Voice, The Huffington Post, OC Weekly, Time Out New York, Yahoo and Bon Appetit, among others.

She has also carved a niche for herself as a pretty, comical, slightly devilish TV personality.

Years ago she played in a band which she likes to mention because it sounds cool. And she was born in Oakland, which she believes gives her cred even though she only lived there for seven months.

Alison currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two small children and dog. She always gets lost, even though she has GPS.

"Tropical Attire Encouraged (and Other Phrases that Scare Me)," a collection of humor columns from her first year as a syndicated columnist, was released in April, 2018.
