Jim Ward has died. [View all]

Long-time listeners will remember Jim as a Stephanie Miller sidekick (or mook). He was an award-winning voice actor and did comic impressions on the show.

In 2021, it was reported that Ward had developed symptoms of a precocious form of Alzheimer's disease and contracted a severe case of COVID-19, leaving him unable to continue voice acting.
On December 10, 2025, Ward's radio colleague Stephanie Miller announced she had received an email from Ward's wife, announcing that he had died earlier that morning. He was only 66.


RIP JIM - 1959-2025
