Role on The Adam Carolla Show

Bishop is able to talk on the show, but usually prefers to communicate through drops (e.g., a "ding" meaning "yes"). He provides the voice of Fake Jack Silver, spoofing Program Director Jack Silver of KLSX. He also plays opposite Carolla in humorous re-enactments inspired by news events. In early 2008, his role was discussed on-air several times, and Adam has called attention to fan interest in Bishop. Since then, and becauseDanny Bonaduce is no longer on the show, his role has increased to include active wagering in bits such as "Totally Topical Tivo Trivia", "Blah, Blah, Blog", "Gay Walking", "Nerd Walking", and more frequent news story re-enactments with Adam. Additionally, he has become a regular contributor to Music Mondays (infrequently replaced by Movie Mondays).

Bishop recently moved in with his fiancee and the show regularly covers his low wage.
