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.
