Once Jimmy's gone, no legitimate comic will want that seat.

There is no honor or pride among comedians. No show too hacky, no host too lame, that they would turn down 6 figures.

Sherrod is totally desperate enough. A lot of these comics that aren't touring headliners (and even some that are) don't make a crazy amount of money. If a lot of these guys had even 1/5 of Jim's salary offered to them to sit in that chair they'd do it in second.

If Jimmy leaves there will always be a replacement out there. Comics are opportunistic. The ones with integrity get absolutely no where in the business. I doubt Florentine (lots of awkward silence now when just a guest), but I can see Sherrod or Vos. Opie will need someone associated with the show already and he knows he can manipulate. Opie doesn't know how to reinvent himself, its the same fucking show just removing the funny elements one by one so the new host will just be plugged into the seat at half the cost. I have a sneaking suspicion that Jimmy will still be there next contract (I GOT NO WHERE ELSE TO GO!!)

Not Vos. That man is a Connecticut chimp when it comes to bashing Opie. Just when you think he's tame and loyal, he grabs Opie's face and says "Da talent left".

Maybe Vos?

Anyone who committed themselves to the show would inevitably come to hate Tits the way everybody else does, and it would happen a lot quicker than it did with Jim.

The way Vos acted on TACS the other day makes me think he's already politicking for it.

Remember, Vos has sucked dick for money before, both literally and figuratively. He knows how to play Opie and how to bite his fat lip and shut up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Opie had said off-air that Vos would be VURRY happy to take that chair from him if he wanted to go home.

And Vos are Jimmy are close, and fuck, they wouldn't be if that happened, so Opie might hold both Jimmy's income and his best friend hostage right now. Dang.

If Vos got that seat he'd last less than a year. Vos is the only person to ever come in to the studio that Opie felt comfortable insulting. Opie would attempt a humorous smash but since all the (admittedly little) humor in his body was lost when he squirted a kid into Lyndsi, it's always just a humorless insult.

Vos would last 8 months before getting tired of it and verbally decimating Opie. He's the besht counterpunsher in the buisnessh and he's not going to be allowed to counterpunch.

Beat me to it. It would be Vos. That's a dream gig for him.

Any of the guys who go on the show 10 times a month now would be happy to take the seat. Sherrod and Florentine are the safest bets.

With no Jimmy there's no show... Well there's a show like Todd has a show if you know what I mean

I'm sure his wife will. Maybe his kid

God, I wonder what that relationship is like. It can't be happy.

What makes you think sxm would give opie a new contract?

Hate to break it to you, but very much doubt Jim will leave after October. He's more worm than man at this point and will justify the Greggshells part 2 as a lovers spat. Plus it's an easy job with good money. Really hope I'm wrong though.

It would be Sherrod. He is horrendous.

I would be so happy if Tits hired a female comic as second mic. His own personal hole (whole) (hoal). And he'd be ok with it because he's not the same person who used to deride bitches on radio.
