New interview up on ESPN!
Mar 19th
Lately, comedians Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine are most recognized for “That Metal Show,” the popular music talk show they host on VH1 Classic with SiriusXM DJ Eddie Trunk. But their passion isn’t limited to music, or comedy. Emmy Award winners for their work on HBO’s “Inside the NFL,” Jamieson and Florentine are both full-time sports fanatics, especially football.
Jamieson bonded with his father over sports, woefully inheriting his allegiance to the New York Jets. For Florentine, it was game programs and stickers, sent from an uncle in Miami, that made him a lifelong Dolphins fan.
So far, 2012 has been a big year for the New Jersey funnymen. Their respective albums, “Live and Hilarious” and “Cringe ‘n’ Purge,” have heard praise for Jamieson and Florentine, ranking high on the Billboard and iTunes sales charts. Last month, they shared the bill for several shows with their comedy idol, Andrew Dice Clay. Last week, “That Metal Show” filmed its 10th season.
ESPN sat down with Don and Jim to talk football, sports talk radio and their proper viewing etiquette for the big game.
A lot of people don’t realize you have a football background with “Inside the NFL.”
Jamieson: We did, like, sports-themed comedy sketches.
Kind of like Frank Caliendo on Fox?
Jamieson: Without the impressions, ’cause we have no talent at impressions whatsoever. [Laughs] We just did these real edgy, comedy-themed sports segments that would air once a week throughout the season.
Florentine: Yeah, like we took a bunch of Dallas Cowboys offensive linemen to an all-you-can-eat buffet. At the end of the bit we all pulled our chairs up and just started eating right from the buffet. [Laughs]
Jamieson: Just to see if it [really] was all you can eat.
Was it?
Jamieson: Not when you bring 2,000 pounds worth of men, no. They seemed to get a little uptight about that.

JIM FLORENTINE and DON JAMIESON set to tour with Andrew Dice Clay!
Jan 11th
Metal Blade recording artists and That Metal Show hosts Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson will be hitting the road at the end of February. They’ll be performing their comedy routines on a short string of dates as the openers for the legendary Andrew Dice Clay. The tour begins February 26th at Comedy Zone in Charlotte, NC. The list of dates is below, along with links to each club’s website for more info and to order tickets.
Don Jamieson comments on the tour: “Me, Jim Florentine and Dice – The Sideburns, the Voice & the Living Legend. It’s the ultimate rock ‘n roll comedy show!”. Jim Florentine adds: “It’s an honor to be working with 2 of my friends on this short run of dates. Knowing the jokes we all do, the tour should be called ’3 Slobs!’”
Jim Florentine released his latest standup CD/DVD, Cringe ‘n’ Purge, on October 25th, 2011 and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Comedy charts and #3 on the iTunes comedy charts! Florentine appeared on Jimmy Kimme Live! in 2011 to promote his part in the film A Little Help, starring The Office’s Jenna Fischer. Florentine is best known for his work on Comedy Central’s show Crank Yankers where he performed the voice of Special Ed, a mentally challenged teenager, and Bobby Fletcher, a despicable, alcoholic slob who is the older cousin of Ed.
Don Jamieson first ever live standup CD, Live & Hilarious, was released on April 26th, 2011. Jamieson started his career as one of the young and talented comedy minds at MTV helping to launch the careers of comics like Jon Stewart, Kevin James, Pauly Shore (sorry) and Tom Green. Amongst his many accomplishments, Jamieson won an Emmy for his work on HBO’s Inside the NFL.
Andrew Dice Clay, known as “The Undisputed Heavyweight Comedy King”, has been touring in the comedy circuit for over 30 years and is the only comedian ever to sell out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row. Most recently, he appeared as himself in a recurring role on the final season of HBO’s Entourage.
