“Jim is a rare talent. He can pull off the rehearsed bit with
ease, yet many times is more effective going “off the cuff”.
Jim has the definite ability to make nervous contestants feel
calm and uncomfortable situations feel natural. His knack for
improvisational humor and his strong communication skills set
him apart in this industry.”

live entertainment situations since 1992 and I can say without
hesitation that there is NO ONE I feel more confident about in a live

keeping it funny, keeping it interesting, keeping it appropriate and

never as good!"
