James Ronald Pardo, Jr.

Jimmy Pardo, known as “The Fastest Mind in Comedy,” is a seasoned stand-up comedian and host of the award-winning podcast Never Not Funny. Jimmy has made over one hundred television appearances, including seminal shows like The Tonight Show, Conan, and The Late Late Show. A lifelong dream of hosting a radio show similar to the ones he grew up listening to in Chicago is the inspiration behind his success as host of his long-running podcast Never Not Funny, as well as hosting TV shows such as Science Channel’s critically acclaimed Race To Escape, National Lampoons Funny Money on Game Show Network, five seasons of AMC’s Movies At Our House and episodes of NBC’s Late Friday, VH1’s The Surreal Life & The Playboy Morning Show. Pardo’s love of music (he has attended close to 500 rock concerts) and many years in the music business are useful for his web series Jimmy’s Records & Tapes, currently in its fourth season on YouTube. Renowned for his quick-witted improvisation style, Pardo uses his material as a jumping-off point for his act, with the ultimate goal of having a conversation with the audience. This makes his performances a whirlwind of crowd work, top-of-mind references, stories, and asides, with each show being a one-of-a-kind, inimitable experience.
