Jim was a guest on Louie Anderson’s “The Louie Show” in 1997. Andrew “Dice” Clay witnessed the performance and immediately became a devoted fan. Later on, Jim and Andrew ended up meeting at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles. For his upcoming tour, Andrew asked Jim to be the opening act. For the next three years, they would share an office space.
Dice was the one who first introduced Jim to the “Opie & Anthony” radio show, a phenomenon of the late ’90s and early ’00s. Jim immediately became close with both hosts, Anthony Cumia and Gregg “Opie” Hughes. At that point in time (the year 2000), Jim had become a frequent participant. In the same year, Jim and his fellow comedian Lewis Black were arrested for participating in one of the show’s controversial public stunts.
In 2001, he was hired on permanently as Opie & Anthony’s third microphone. After a two-year hiatus following yet another controversial public stunt, he remained in the same role when the show moved to XM in 2004.
Jim stayed with the program even after main host Anthony Cumia was fired, eventually morphing the show into “Opie with Jim Norton”. That iteration ultimately fizzled and in 2016 he began co-hosting the Jim & Sam show along with Sam Roberts.
