Welcome to yet another exciting "Baker's Dozen!" This edition is with comic Jim Florentine! Jim is a stand up comic, and also the voice of Special Ed & Bobby Fletcher from Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers." In addition to his stand up & crank calls, he's also a frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio show. But I think he's really peaked now that he's answered our lame 13 questions!
1) Please introduce yourself to our loyal 13 visitors.
My name is Jim Florentine and I'm an alcoholic.
2) You were doing crank calls with your ”Terrorizing Telemarketers” Cd’s and then later became involved in “Crank Yankers.” Did Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel screw you out of a creator title for “Crank Yankers?”
No they did not. It was there idea for the show and they heard my stuff and liked it.
3)Do you ever plan on becoming a TV star yourself, or will you just continue to stick your hand up the backside of a puppet?
I'd rather put my hand up a puppets ass.
4) You were featured, well Special Ed was featured, on the 2003 MTV Music Awards with Eminem. Did you get one of those ridiculous gift bags, and if so what was the coolest thing you got?
I didn't get one. MTV was too cheap to give me one. I could have gave away that crap for Christmas presents.
Jim as Special Ed with Eminem. Sans gift bag.
5) When did you realize your true calling was to make crank calls, goof on people, and be as vulgar as humanly possible?
When I was a kid I would call all the hot girls in my class and tell them that I'm taking a national survey and I need to know your bra size. I've been a creep for a longtime.
