Sad news for those who listen to the Stephanie Miller Show

Jim Ward passed away 😞

One of the saddest messages I have ever recieved today from the amazing Mrs Jim Ward Janice:
Our wonderful “voice deity” as Steph anointed Jim Ward, passed away today at 10:45AM. Can you let Steph know? Thanks, Janice

We kind of knew this was coming as he's been ill for some time . Still it wrecks my heart .

He was incredibly talented and super funny . We should add some links to some of his work
to remember him .

He was in memory care for the past couple of years. I can't remember if he had Alzheimer's or some other form of dementia. I'm sure Stephanie will dedicate a good portion of her show to him tomorrow. Jim was funny as hell. I'm sure she'll play lots of old clips of his comedy bits. I can't find his rendition of Kim Jong Un singing his version of "Yellow Submarine," which never fails to crack me up. But, this is even funnier:



Good bye, Jim. Thanks for the laughs.

every morning on Stephanie Miller's Show. His voice is still announcing Steph. RIP Jim Ward. I will always admire him. I started reading the comic Marmaduke because he would talk about what Marmaduke did every day. My condolences to his family and the entire Stephanie Miller crew.

I can't miss him more than I have since the last time I heard he was no longer on Stephanie's show. The difference is I will no longer hope for his return.
Thanks for the laughs Mr. Ward.

I didn't listen regularly to the show back when he was on the show but I've heard his sketches and bits and he was hilarious.

Sorry to hear that. Rest in Peace, Jim Ward.

Wonder how many more will leave us by the end of the year?
