This was one of the best and most underrated sitcoms. Phil Hartman and Stephen Root MADE the show, playing the two most hilarious characters; Bill McNeal & Jimmy James, respectively.
Dave Foley was a brilliant straightman too. He played off both Root and Hartman perfectly. Heck, the whole damn cast was perfect---even Andy Dick, who as far as I know hasn't been good in anything else.
I want to see those pants! I'm guessing they're purple and orange paisley with bells around the ankles, knees, and waist...and the rest of his outfit is the usual business dress shoes and socks, shirt, tie, and suit-coat...though maybe a single earring that's a 3-4 inch long bright red feather dangling from one ear. Stephen Root/Jimmy James could pull off that look. He could pull off cat-eye glasses too, but that's a whole different story.

I would pay good money to attend a reading of this book by Stephen Root, in character as Jimmy James.
I love the whole scene but Stephen Root's emphatic sigh at 1:49 is just the perfect ending
I love the gesture of resignation too. He gave up.
Jimmy has fancy plans and pants to match 😂

Jimmy James' character was suited for Stephen Root as well as Jim Ignatowski was for Christopher Lloyd! The two best characters in T.V. history!
Perfect.
I gotta get me more of this GUY
He should've asked Jimmy about rocks...
0:26 Ron Jeremy walks out on the reading.
Sleazy ron jeremy. Why would they put a dousche like that in Newsradio?
Because everybody in entertainment thought he was the cool dude with the shaft and the 'stasche.
