jimmy's infatuation with david letterman was boundless and borderline psychotic.terman inspired jimmy to pursue a broadcast job of his own, starting in radio, where he was promptly fired. jimmy would set until california where he would at last find true love. >> when i first met jimmy, he was wearing boxing gloves and sunglasses on a dark, rainy day. hold on, i think i got the script from the mexican friend.
