I'm thinking of a famous person whose first name is Jim. Can you guess it?

[OfDeath]

I'd consider this one quite difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody gets it.

Another bonus clue: if you do some channel surfing, you are likely to find the person actually speaking on television pretty much world wide right at this moment.

Jim Carson

Jim Clukis

Jim "has a cream pie" fuck now I can't remember his name

Jimmy Carter

I almost said Jimmy Carr, but he was born in England

jim Croce singer of bad bad leroy brown

Can't be Jimmy Cliff, because he is black

[OfDeath]

It's none of those

[OfDeath]

You'll probably eventually get it of you just keep reeling of Jims though lol

[humanearth]

I had no clue from the start, but I ran though the list of famous Jim's in my head

[OfDeath]

I think if anyone knows it, it could be you. Your generation would remember this guy. He's not really old or anything but his decade would've been the 90s.

There's another clue hidden in the response to likestodrive's answer

[humanearth]

There are two Jim Crows one is musician, the other is a character that was played on stage in the early 1800s

Still thinking though

[OfDeath]

You're way off lol

[humanearth]

Jim Cornette the famous wrestling guy from the 1970s though the early 2000s

[OfDeath]

No. I'd say this guy is more famous than him. Sort of going in the right direction but not really.

Actually, you've just revealed a massive clue. Jim Cornette used to hold something. That is a massive clue.

[humanearth]

I give up, I have to go out in the barn and get the cows ready for milking

[OfDeath]

Have a think about it while you're doing that. After the clue you have revealed, if you don't get it now, there's pretty much something wrong with you.
What was Jim Cornette's prop?

[humanearth]

What a tennis racket, he was known for always carrying one

cdn.itrwrestling.com/.../Jim-Cornette-960x540.jpeg

[OfDeath]

Yes the tennis racquet

[humanearth]

All that comes to. mind is that tennis pro from the 1990s

I have to look him up

[humanearth]

Jimmy Connors

[OfDeath]

No lol. But sooo close

[humanearth]

Jim Courier

[humanearth]

And If I remember right he has red hair

[OfDeath]

Yes! Finally lol

[humanearth]

That was hard, it took a lot of clues

[humanearth]

I barely remember him, what brought him back in the lime light

[OfDeath]

I was flipping through the channels and saw him commentating on the tennis. I thought shit I remember him. I bet nobody has thought of him for a while though. So I made the question.

When I was a kid all I remember about tennis is that he was always on. I mean, it was usually Pete Sampras or Andre Agassi but they were always playing against Jim Courier.

[humanearth]

Yeah, I remember him being on a box of Wheaties

[Jamie05rhs]

Pete Sampras. Wow. That's a throwback.

[FunkyMonkee]

You said it was a famous person. I've never heard of him!

[OfDeath]

@FunkyMonkee millions of others have though lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Do you know who Jerry Samuels is?

[OfDeath]

@FunkyMonkee Yeah the coming to take me away guy

[humanearth]

That song is from 1966

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh. You laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad

And they're coming to take me away ha haaa
They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away ha haaa

[FunkyMonkee]

You don't know the other two verses and the other chorus?

[humanearth]

@FunkyMonkee i didn't want to post all the lyrics, just a part of it

[Likes2drive]

[OfDeath]

Lol. But with the second letter in Jimmy's sir name "corn" you have actually revealed the second letter in this person's sir name.

[FunkyMonkee]

Jim Nasium?

[OfDeath]

Lol no. Is that a real person?

[FunkyMonkee]

No, I just made it up.
It was kinda like this. https://youtu.be/f0yKNqfBlx8

[FunkyMonkee]

Jim Comey

[Opinion Owner]

Jim Courier?

[OfDeath]

[Opinion Owner]

You a tennis fan?

[OfDeath]

[SaoirseS]

Morrison

[OfDeath]

No. Correct nationality but that isn't even a helpful clue. This one is hard.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people have never heard of this person. But he definitely counts as famous.

[SaoirseS]

My mind-reading skills are pretty weak these days, so I'll wait for the great reveal ;-)

[OfDeath]

Fair enough.

[exitseven]

Jim Croce

[OfDeath]

No lol

[exitseven]

Jim Beam

[Texaskid1]

Jim Crow.

No but extra points for thinking outside the box

[Jamie05rhs]

[OfDeath]

No...

[Jamie05rhs]

Dang. Okay

[Jamie05rhs]

Okay- I wasn't anywhere close. Nevermind haha.

[Anonymous]

Jim Carey

[OfDeath]

No. But you do have the first letter of the last name.

This is so difficult that I will give away clues like that just to make it slightly more gettable.

[Opinion Owner]

Jimenez

[OfDeath]

No...

[OfDeath]

You didn't even use the clue I gave you lol

[humanearth]
