The clip shows Jimmy James lecturing his staff on the importance of advertising. From the NewsRadio episode "Rap" (Season 3, Episode 12). Original Air Date: 8 Jan 1997
I have to watch Newsradio remind myself of Jimmy James, cause I’m all the way messed up and hate Fuches in Barry...Stephen Root is the BEST!! He will always be Jimmy James!!
Been watching this show lately and Jimmy James steals it for me. He doesn't even have to say a word and I'm laughing in mere anticipation. He killed this scene, it's one of my favorite moments in the show so far.
kefka roth season 5 has its moments but due to Phil Hartman’s murder, you can feel his absence throughout the season. Also it shouldn’t have ended with a cliffhanger where everyone at the station was basically moving to Connecticut, since there was no season 6.
@@Jared_Wignall that was also because at the end of season 4, they all thought it was over and were ready to move on. That must have been so awkward to make everybody come back for an additional season that nobody wanted and without "the glue"(phil) holding it together. It should of just mercilessly stopped after season 4. Ironically, I thought the show just got better and better during seasons 3 and 4 while the showpeople thought it was starting to become too "cartoon-like". Even if Phil didn't die, he really didn't want to do it either and probably would have left; everybody including Paul Simms was so tired of fighting with the network and the network did everything it could to sabotage it.
This show cracks me up. If i had the money I'd start a sitcom channel. I'd have WKRP and Newsradio in an hour block. This scene is hilarious. I feel that Jimmy is Mr. Carlson, Dave Nelson is Andy Travis, Matthew is Les Nessman, Bill Is funny just like Dr. Johnny Fever. This scene is very funny.
Such quirky writing, GREAT comedic "character" actors from all different backgrounds, means this show was both fantastically funny and was never going to be popular. What a great scene.
Jimmy James: Chuck always, ah... always loves to do favor for the big man. Course, now I have to pay him. Dave Nelson: Right. Jimmy James: Of course I'll have to pay him. Dave Nelson: Well, greed has never been one of your vices, sir. Jimmy James: I'm sorry, what? Dave Nelson: Greed is good, money is everything, I love Big Bird, please make the call.
I've got to get the complete series of this show, Newsradio is hilarious. The cast is brilliant , can't believe this only lasted five seasons. If I had a sitcom channel, this show would be one of the shows on my network
He’s just more of a character actor than a lead actor. It suits his talents much better. He’s still been a very prolific actor with 250 acting credits. It’s always a pleasure to watch him pop up in a small role when you least expect him.
Very underrated show with great actors and great scripts. Also, Jimmy James is completely here in his overall point. Lisa can't or at least shouldn't bad-mouth advertising since it is, like he said, what pays their bills and her salary.
Nope. In Ye Olden Days -- back when this was made -- a newspaper/magazine/news radio outlet's advertising sales side and reporting/editorial side were kept STRICTLY divided. We're talking an iron curtain between the two to prevent business interests from having any influence whatsoever on coverage. No contact, no overlap, no nothing. That's the point of the joke. It's a thing of the past now.
@@CantankerousDave What's your point? What exactly does any of that have to do with Jimmy James (correctly) stating that advertising is what keeps them afloat?
Somebody needs to post the one where he reveals he wrote no shirt no shoes no service as well as thousands of other t shirt slogans....that one's my favorite and it springs to mind constantly.
@Emperor Ssraeshza: It almost certainly is part of the joke. Jimmy being a high school dropout who only succeeded in business because of his natural instincts is a recurring plot point.
00:57 When in the course of human events.... That's not the Constitution. That's the Declaration. The Constitution starts: We the People of the United States- in order to form a more perfect union.
Jimmy James destroyed her. Though to be fair, it takes a special kind of 'special' to decry advertising to the owner of a news station, esp while employed by said news station & owner. Advertising cannot be deceptive, by definition. Caveat emptor.
I know this is mostly played for comedy but all she said was advertisements can be deceptive. How did anything he say refute that claim? He blew his lid and gave a bunch of anecdotal examples.
@@mckenzie.latham91 'When was the last time you even heard a republican speak truth about reality let alone facts?' - Golly! Must have been almost twenty minutes ago.
I'm 5 years late in responding but I can explain that np ; He's making a point about how her statement decrying advertising is irrelevant and inappropriate because it is what fuels her career. Moreover, the basis upon which advertising exists is liberty which was one of the core values of the U.S. founding fathers which he humorously but correctly lays down as an overlap to creativity and innovation. Also, the U.S. was built on liberty, merit, free-market enterprise and individual rights which allow for characters like Kermit the Frog to even exist *(NOTE:* He's correct. In ultra-leftist nations like Socialist Russia, Socialist Germany or Maoist China, that would be impossible to create, let alone become a major known character). This exists largely as a function of individual choices as applied to markets . Since leftist nations either don't have free markets or heavily corrupt them with leftist orthodoxy, it causes stiffled creativity and almost null innovation which goes to prove his point about Sesame Street as true even if absurd. Simply put; - Lisa is talking shit about advertising when that is literally the entire point of her job. - She is talking shit about the rights that made her entire professional viable hence the constitution is invoked. - Lastly, without liberty and free-market enterprise, creativity and innovation as we know them wouldn't exist. Is advertising deceptive? sometimes but it doesn't matter. Her point was flatly stupid but became extremely stupid because she's a professional BROADCASTER. tl;dr Jimmy HARD-raped Lisa's sandy vag in a humorous way, huehuehuehue.
Steven Root is a severely underrated genius.
Yeah he's awesome in King Of The Hill
and as 'gay vampire Eddie" in "Trueblood."
PAN SHOT!
I have to watch Newsradio remind myself of Jimmy James, cause I’m all the way messed up and hate Fuches in Barry...Stephen Root is the BEST!! He will always be Jimmy James!!
And on Adventure Time.
"Free advertising...that's something you just can't buy". GENIUS
The facial expression he makes while saying it is so fantastic too 😂
I loved this show! Stephen Root should have won an Emmy for this role...
Jimmy James, the man so nice...they named him twice.

love me some Jimmy James
The contractual marriage proposal scene is still the best
This show had such a great cast. Everyone on that show gave such great performances. I have all season on DVD and the commentary is just as good.
i only have the seasons that mattered(1-4)

I ask people all the time if they ever saw News Radio.....so few have....Great Show..amazing cast
You need to hang out with cooler people
Not to mention Kermit the damn Frog!!! I still use this line from time to time.
"When in the course of human events" is from the Declaration of Independence, which was indeed a great advertisement.
Root is great, but man I had such a crush on Lisa for this entire run.
The script is amazing, and the actors deliver the lines perfectly. NewsRadio was so much fun. RIP Phil.
Not to mention Kermit the Damned Frog Genius
If more negotiating ended with "not to mention, Kermit the damn frog!" we may grow as a people.
The man so nice they named him twice.

Tell me more about this other Les Nessman.
Jimmy holds this wholllle show together.
Not to mention his brilliance as the blind radio man in "O' Brother Where Art Thou"
Such quirky writing, GREAT comedic "character" actors from all different backgrounds, means this show was both fantastically funny and was never going to be popular. What a great scene.
"no Grover"convinced me advertising is good
Buck Strickland telling it like it is!
*"Not to mention Kermit The Damn Frog!" That line still kills me to this very day.* 😂😅
Stephen is a comedy god.
It doesnt change the truth that advertising is deceptive
He is in Boardwalk Empire as the back room political wheeler dealer and he's awesome.
I’ve only known Steven Root from Barry & Boardwalk Empire, and never even heard of this show. I’ll have to binge it now, very underrated actor.
Office Space.
He had a good role in Justified as well. Can’t forget Bill in King of the Hill either.
He's been in so many things that I usually play a "when will Steven Root show up" game when starting a new series. Him and Gary Cole.
Jimmy James: Chuck always, ah... always loves to do favor for the big man. Course, now I have to pay him. Dave Nelson: Right. Jimmy James: Of course I'll have to pay him.

"Kermit the Damn Frog!"
Amazing actor, amazing show. It’s a wonder he didn’t go on to be a break through kind of actor.
He’s just more of a character actor than a lead actor. It suits his talents much better. He’s still been a very prolific actor with 250 acting credits. It’s always a pleasure to watch him pop up in a small role when you least expect him.
all I hear is Bill Dauterive when he gets agitated lol
Very underrated show with great actors and great scripts.

"Uncle Jimmy!!!!!!!!!!!" FTW
haha
Stephen Root has a great small role in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", and he's also in "Men Who Stare At Goats".
Such a great seen. Stephen is great.
I love Jimmy James!!!
Not one of but THE Greatest
Somebody needs to post the one where he reveals he wrote no shirt no shoes no service as well as thousands of other t shirt slogans....that one's my favorite and it springs to mind constantly.
Milton!!!
Such a great show and a great character. To go from being JimmyJames! to "L for love" in Dodge Ball, Stephen Root is awesome.
I always wished he had another roll with this same attitude
Great! I was going to upload this scene, since I was watching it a few days ago. Thanks.
I love him In Rango, Gravity Falls and Amphibia.
I’m sorry WHAT.
FINNS DAD FROM ADVENTURE TIME! THAT IS WHO HE PLAYED AS! That is so damn cool.
I can hear the Bill Dauterive coming out of his rant voice. XD
The irony? This speech is somehow strangely patriotic...
Also that he's so pro-Sesame Street which is on PBS and ad-free
He's quoting the Declaration of independence not the constitution.
I noticed that, too. People often make that mistake.
@Emperor Ssraeshza: It almost certainly is part of the joke. Jimmy being a high school dropout who only succeeded in business because of his natural instincts is a recurring plot point.
*where’s the beef?!*
The quote is from the Declaration though.
This show might not be the best source for historical facts.
IIRC, Jimmy is a high-school dropout.
@@Dr_C_Smith the eyes are the windows to the skull, my friend.
@@Dr_C_Smith I think it's there for comic relief. /whoosh
This woman is gorgeous.
My favorite Jimmy James line is "Van Halen..i love Van Halen..until that idiot Sammy Hagar messed it up" lol
Isn't this the VA for Buck Strickland & Bill from King of The Hill?
It's our patriotic duty to CLICK THOSE ADS!
Root is a genius and a half, Maura looks great
"What was the constitution of the United States? A docum- No!"
Kermit, the frog is a Muppet. He is not Sesame Street, despite the fact that big bird was in the Muppet movie!
Sasuga Jimmy James-san !!
@torontodave I agree. He's in the level with Archie Bunker, Fred Sanford, et all.
Stephen Root!!!!! Love him!!!! Lol!
And Bill
AGREED
C L A S S I C
What is the name of the Serie I want to watch it
Newsradio
She's nice !!!!! Back then
He feels guilty about capitalism. This is a perfect depiction of real life characters that resemble Jimmy James.
Jimmy James quotes the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.
The Declaration of Independence is the advertisement. The Constitution is the live show.
00:57 When in the course of human events.... That's not the Constitution. That's the Declaration. The Constitution starts: We the People of the United States- in order to form a more perfect union.
You are probably still mad about what the Germans did to Pearl Harbor, huh?
That's (part of) the joke, brainlord.

Hi Linkara

Wait....this isn't a tutorial on forensics?
So Jimmy James argues like a democrat.

True " advertisements". Pay your Salary 💵💵💵💵💵💵
Funny tho. She gets all High and Mighty.
How Advertisement. Is WRONG!!!!
In some ways this show was ahead of its time. It really needs to come back to a newer audience.
reminds me of bill from king of the hill
Because he's his voice actor
That's just unfair.
*_... Saying that “The US Constitution is an advertisement for Liberty” actually proves her point that all advertising is deceptive!_* 😂
How so?
That makes no sense on multiple levels.
lol Eat it cancel culture
