Adam Corolla was already pretty famous (and pretty damn rich) from all the Loveline stuff. He didn't need the Man Show to make him famous. It probably just got to be too much for him, and he decided to move on.
Doing a tv show like that is hard fucking work. There is a lot of writing, prep, etc., etc. to do. He can do his two hours a night five days a week on Loveline probably 45 weeks a year, have a few celebrities in, roll in to the studio ten minutes before air, and he probably makes $5MM a year.
He's a jackass, but I don't think that the reason that Jimmy has a show is because fortune has smiled on him more than Corolla. IF anything, the Man Show made Jimmy; Corolla was already a rich star in a different realm.
