For many years, he wrote the "Strictly for Laughs" column in the New York Post . His wife, Cindy Adams (to whom he was married from 1952 until his death), is still the Post's leading society and gossip columnist.

Adams made numerous television appearances over the years, including on The Ed Sullivan Show and Howard Stern's 1990s TV shows, and was in the films Singing in the Dark (1956, of which he was also executive producer), Don't Worry, We'll Think of a Title (1966), and Silent Prey (1997). For years, he also hosted a radio talk show on WEVD in New York.
