He was based often on the now defunct Opie and Anthony show. As were a lot of their guests. Hell, Patrice O’Neal once predicted on the show that Trump would be president someday. YEARS before he ran. Patrice had a lot of “conspiracy” theories. He was a guy that wasn’t always right about everything, but even when he was wrong, he was fun to listen to and fun to disagree with, and he openly interacted with racist Anthony in a way that was fun and Anthony was right about a lot of stuff anyway.
I never found Jim particularly funny but I have a soft spot for anyone who ever appeared on Opie and Anthony. They weren’t exactly awake or anything (argued a lot with 9/11 truthers) but Anthony was very conservative and still is, got fired for racist tweets that destroyed the greatest radio show in the history of mankind. It’s a damn shame that Opie and Anthony don’t get along anymore otherwise they might have had a reunion somewhere.
Some of the comedians that appeared on the show have become woke in recent years, but in its heyday, Opie and Anthony in its prime was just as funny as Howard stern without being… You know… (((Stern))).
They got away with a lot of racist humor, racial humor, and saying things that you just absolutely 100% cannot say anymore on radio. Stern isn’t even trying anymore, but these guys would be if they were still on the air. They were bastions of free-speech and defended Don Imus and others that they agreed with an even didn’t agree with, just because free-speech was so important to them. Damn shame they’re gone.
If anyone wants to listen to some hilarious radio, they did a segment every October for about six years called “Jocktober” that made fun of and exposed regular radio for the sham that it was. Very funny stuff.
Jim had a lot of very good appearances on Opie and Anthony, most of them are on YouTube, if you really enjoyed Jim’s comedy or his point of you, you might want to check them out.
