As host of the nation’s premiere sports radio talk show, Rome is known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue.
Jim has established himself as the top choice of athletes and fans when it is time to know what is going on beyond the scoreboard.
Rome’s nationally syndicated radio program, The Jim Rome Show a.k.a. The Jungle, airs on more than 185 radio stations each weekday and boasts more than two million listeners.
But these are no ordinary listeners; they are a legion of fans known as the clones who live and breath for Jim Rome’s “take” on the day’s larger issues of sport. It is his departure from conventional sports commentary that has resulted in Rome’s unique dialogue with his listeners.
In addition to his daily radio grind, Rome hosts Jim Rome Is Burning, a weekly live, one-hour, provocative sports talk show 7:00p.m. EST on ESPN. The program originates from Los Angeles and features opinion, Rome’s “rants,” debate and guest appearances by some of the biggest name in sports.
Rome has made a cameo appearance along side Michael Jordan in Space Jam; appeared in Blink 182’s music video; appeared on HBO’s Arliss; and released a CD, Welcome to the Jungle, which features memorable sound bites from frequent callers and the hip music regularly used on the radio show.
Rome previously served as host of the popular program The Last Word with Jim Rome, broadcast nightly on Fox Sports Net, for five years. Prior to The Last Word with Jim Rome, Jim spent a two-year stint hosting ESPN2’s Talk2, a nightly one-hour interview show. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the “$5 dollar-an-hour” traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara’s sports. He left KTMS for San Diego’s all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690.
It was during a temporary stint on a late-night show for the station that Rome debuted his “smack” (Jungle Glossary term meaning sports talk in a gloating, uninhibited or unbridled manner). The style yielded high ratings, and, by acclimation of his listeners, The Jungle was born. In 1996, to further keep up with demand, Premiere Radio Networks acquired exclusive syndication rights and the program continues to pick-up affiliates throughout the country.
Rome graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1987, with a degree in Communications. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Janet and son, Jake.

Rome getting his ass kicked is one of the great moments in television history.
@StoryoftheYear16
"Ass kicked". A staged table flip being done slowly and gently being set on the ground in a chair is an ass kicking where you come from?
@bogie7311
Call it what you want. Rome ended up flat on his back and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. So yeah, he got his ass kicked.
@RagingKikeEngin
@john sutherland I bet you think wwe is real too
@ryanforsythe8923
@Adam ass kicked doesn’t necessarily mean getting hurt
@48waffles36
This, and Joe Biden being the worst president ever is up there on the list.
@silkroad1201
That was the most polite and professional ass beating I've ever seen. He even flipped the table with grace
@Coviditous
Polite and professional? And ass beating lol? The guy acted like a child on live TV bc somebody called him a different name. Chris. He didn't call him dicklips or something insulting. Just an arrogant moron trying to be tough to a sportscaster. The way he acted was embarrassing. "I bet you won't say it again" how old are we 12? Chris Everett is a tool
@niceguy6152
Who says he wanted to totally batter him? He did it in a very clever way
@TheTenCentStory
@Nice Guy assault is still assault
