    Great interview with John Fanta and Jimmy’s breakdown of Sal’s interactions with Jerry Seinfeld is a great example why he’s one of the best interviewers around.

  • Good show

    I never miss an episode of Jimmy’s show (unless of course there’s fake wrestling involved.) And even though as a Veteran I wanted to punch him in the face when he said he doesn’t root for Team USA at the Olympics, i’ll still keep listening, at least the end with Sal.
