Jim Rome

Jim Rome is an American sports radio talk show host. He hosts "The Jim Rome Show" weekdays from 9 am to 12 noon Pacific Time. He also hosts the television shows "The Last Word" and "Rome Is Burning" (the latter airs on ESPN). All these shows deal with the sports world in general. The radio show takes calls from listeners (known as "clones") and features interviews. Both television shows primarily feature interviews with athletes and other people associated with sports.

Rome achieved notoriety for an incident in 1994 when he repeatedly called NFL quarterback Jim Everett, "Chris" (after Chris Evert, the tennis player).
