It's not working out for Jimmy on Opie Radio. He should have some ambition and go do a scripted internet tv show like Louis.

Opie's holding him back, and doesn't like when he does his characters. Meanwhile, what kind of future does Jimmy have if he continues like how it's been the past several years. More going nowhere.

He tried that talk show but it's brown-nosing, sucking up to celebs like when they do interviews on the radio show. Nobody respects when you behave like that to them.

He should do a scripted show like Louis where he writes adventures and does stuff. Then ya go film it. Doesn't have to cost much. Use some of his characters in there. Maybe have a few of him interacting with each other. No tv is gonna grab it so what you do is make it anyways and put it on the internet. If it's good it'll take off then tv would approach him.

He's kinda stuck in this position with opie to pay the bills, well tone down living the high life. Might have to move back in with his parents, whatever just do what it takes to make the fucking show. This dreck with opie must stop and he needs to move on up instead of continuing to go nowhere with his career. Radio is the bottom of the barrel and nobody in the industry respects it. Been giving it a go for years now and he's stalled at 5000+ in twitter celeb rankings. It's not working out.

He may have to wait a year till his contract was up, but he's doomed if he continues with opie. He's just too much of a curmudgeon. I'm sure there's some type of clause where he could get out of it before a year. I'd take that even at a loss and get out now before the opie ship sinks.

Neat sentiment. Now go make six figures sitting on your ass and talking into a microphone and walk away for your "artistic integrity".

Go fuck yourself.

Hey, man, some of us don't want to be a cog in the machine of bland, corporatist, pseudo-America like all the other conformists!

Why don't you go do it?

if he's making a living it's working out.

I hate to say this, but Jimmy is not a very good writer. His standup is even in decline. As it's been said a million times on here, he's been incubated by the O&A fan base and hasn't grown much. The Vice show was pretty painful to watch.

In interviews or on panel shows he shines, but I don't think he could pull off a scripted show. He's right where he should be.
