James Bernard Florentine (born August 18, 1964) is an American comedian, actor, author, and television personality.

He is best known for co-hosting That Metal Show on VH1 Classic and voicing several characters on Crank Yankers, including Special Ed and Bobby Fletcher.

He hosts The Jim Florentine Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio and a podcast called Everybody Is Awful (Except You).

His family lived for several years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when his father decided he wanted to set up a family-run hot dog vending business.

The two married in 2012 (her third, his first) and divorced in 2015 after he hired a private investigator who caught Warner having sex with a New Jersey police officer.

The series spotlights new and established talent, including Artie Lange, Bill Burr (Chappelle Show), Patrice O'Neal, and Andrew Dice Clay.

Florentine co-hosted the show with fellow comedian Don Jamieson and rock radio broadcaster Eddie Trunk.

The show discussed various topics in the hard rock and metal community, along with interviewing musicians and giveaways for the audience.

He also voiced the redneck radio host Bobbie Ray in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

The show won an Emmy that season and Florentine has proudly said in various interviews that when he was single, he kept it on his nightstand, and it would close the deal anytime he had a date over.

At the same time, Florentine released two hidden camera DVDs named Meet The Creeps, where he and his partner Don Jamieson pulled outrageous pranks on people.

The DVDs fell into the hands of some Comedy Central executives, who then brought Meet The Creeps to their broadband channel called Motherload.

In 2007, Florentine appeared on the last episode of The Apprentice in season 4 doing his edgy stand-up comedy at a conservative charity event.

He is an occasional guest on the late-night Fox News Channel show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.
