From 2010-2017 Adam was the main TMZ and TMZ on TV camera guy from NYC. He interviewed celebrities in all facets of entertainment/politics including: actors, singers, musicians, directors, professional athletes, writers, news correspondents, and politicians. Some of his more famous encounters include Beyonce (he appeared in her music video from Coney Island), Shaquille O'Neal, and Lana Del Rey. He's played Rock-Paper-Scissors with Usher, sang "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" with Michael Buble, got Stevie Wonder to fill in for him behind the camera and has gotten kidnapped by his friend Shaquille O'Neal.[2] "Adam has been one of the best photographers in the 10 years of TMZ. He's bright, personable and super inquisitive. Picking him was a no-brainer, and he really delivered."---- Quote by TMZ Czar Harvey Levin

South of Wilshire

Adam hosted the TMZ-produced game show in 2016. It had an 8-week test run on some Fox owned affiliates including WWOR-TV in New York City. The game show was set at Dulan's, a soul food restaurant in the historically African-American Crenshaw District in Los Angeles. The show grew out of a dare undertaken by Harvey Levin to get his hair trimmed at an inner-city barbershop. Levin learned that a number of celebrities frequented the barbershop, and so he sent Glyn around to the restaurants, bars, churches, gyms and tattoo parlors in Compton, Inglewood and other less-than-glitzy neighborhoods to discover other secret celebrity haunts. Glyn interviews the owners about their clientele, then plays the edited video packages for the "South of Wilshire" contestants, who must guess the identify of the star.
