They both owe their careers to Jackie Martling

Jackie was funnier than both of them

And the only one with the balls to call the boss on his bullshit as it happened, rather than making veiled jokes or bringing it up years later. At least until Artie started snorting heroin during the show.

It's interesting that Jackie, Artie and Jim are all terrible stand-ups.

More to Dice, really.

They had Dice on the show a lot, he told them about his opener, Jim Norton who's, "Into some Sick 'S'"

Dice brought Jimmy along with him for an O&A appearance, and, he was kept ever since.

Jimmy needs to tickle Dice's "yambag" every night

I thought he owes his career to Andrew Dice Clay who not only gave him a start but also dumped him on O&A.

He does. But OP is saying O&A wouldn't have brought a comedian on as 3rd mic if Stern didn't do it first. It's a long way to go to take a shot at Opie, but whatever.
