Jimmy also appeared on "Conan" as a panel guest, a field correspondent, and filled in as co-host. He also conducted unconventional celebrity backstage interviews for Teamcoco.com's "The Pardo Patrol." Dubbed a podcasting pioneer, in 2006, Jimmy began hosting the raucous-but-smart weekly podcast "Never Not Funny," which Entertainment Weekly called "one of the sharpest and gut- bustingest shows on the Internet." The show has been named a top comedy podcast by The AV Club, Esquire, GQ, and USA Today, and its guest list reads like a Who’s Who of Hollywood (Jon Hamm, Amy Poehler, Rob Reiner, Paul Reiser, and Sarah Silverman, to name a few). Never Not Funny also hosts the annual Pardcast-A-Thon fundraiser, a 12-hour marathon webcast to benefit Smile Train. The Pardcast-A-Thons have raised almost two million dollars for the charity. Jimmy has recorded three comedy albums: "Uno," "Pompous Clown," & "Sprezzatura," which Entertainment Weekly named one of the 5 Best Stand-Up Albums of the year.
