On this episode of “Comedy Saved Me,” Lynn Hoffman talks with actor and comedian Adam Ferrara, known for his roles in FX’s “Rescue Me,” Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie,” and as co-host of “Top Gear US.” Adam shares how laughter became the lifeline that helped him navigate everything from family chaos to the pressures of Hollywood. Tune in as Adam riffs on his early days in stand-up, the indispensable role humor played growing up on Long Island, and the wild ride of working alongside legends in TV and film.

You’ll hear hilarious and touching stories—like why his mother became a minor celebrity in her retirement home thanks to Edie Falco, and how fixing cars with his dad was a comedy masterclass in disguise. Adam opens up on finding the funny even in dark moments, the lessons learned from co-hosting a high-octane car show, and why comedy remains his anchor through thick and thin.

Join us for a candid, laugh-filled conversation that proves what Adam always believed: sometimes, it’s comedy that keeps you driving forward, no matter what life puts in your way.
