| Jim as Johnny CarsonJim is a former award-winning television anchor/reporter, who was honored for both his news documentaries and investigative
reporting. When people ask Jim why he left television new for a career impersonating Johnny Carson, he explains that his decision was determined by what can only be described as his uncanny resemblance to "The King of Late Night," both in sight and sound. Jim says, "It was difficult getting my job done out in the 'field' when people were constantly requesting a monologue." And, he adds, when his news director at the CBS affiliate in Phoenix suggested Jim might do his news anchoring as
"Johnny," Jim figured it was time to take the show on the road. Since creating "Heere's Johnny II" in 1984, Jim's been very busy and very successful. Working gigs from coast-to-coast, he's entertained audiences as small as 60 and as large as 10,000. Jim has also won numerous awards as "Johnny," including Ed McMahon's "Star Search" competition in Arizona. In 1997, Jim won the Best Comedian "Reel Award" honoring the nation's
Celebrity-Look-A-Likes. |
