Posted on July 3, 2012 by carolynfoxshollywood

Also joining Carolyn Fox in the studio is Tamra’s husband, impressionist and comedian Jim Meskimen, known for the viral JibJab videos as well as his work in movies & TV and his one-man show “Jimpressions.”  The night Carolyn saw this hilarious show, the theater was sold-out house and Jim made the audience’s jaws ache with laughter.  His next appearance in “Jimpressions” July 21 at 8 PM at The Acting Center Los Angeles.

Friday July 6 at midnight, tune your radio to 1580 AM to hear Tamra and Jim Meskimen share Hollywood trade secrets on “Carolyn Fox’s Hollywood Spotlight.”
