## Resource

Comedian Jim Florentine joins Tyrus on Planet Tyrus for a conversation about stand-up comedy, cancel culture, free speech, and what it takes to stay funny in an industry that keeps changing. From his breakout work on Crank Yankers to his appearances on Gutfeld, Jim shares how loyalty, risk-taking, and staying true to your voice helped shape his career. Tyrus and Jim also dive into classic rock, 80s and 90s nostalgia, sports fandom, bad movies, parenting, dating, comedy clubs, and why today’s comedians no longer need Hollywood’s permission to build an audience.
