Jim Rome Is Burning (originally titled Rome Is Burning and often abbreviated as JRIB) is a sports conversation and opinion show hosted by Jim Rome. The program airs Monday through Friday on ESPN at 4:30 PM ET, after NFL Live, and lasts thirty minutes until 5:00 PM ET leading up to Around the Horn. The show is broadcast live from a studio in Los Angeles, California, rather than at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The show is sometimes pre-empted due to live sporting events airing during the afternoon, usually golf or baseball.

Debuting on May 6, 2003 as Rome Is Burning, it was originally a once a week show in primetime at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday nights. After a short hiatus in 2004, it returned with a new name, Jim Rome Is Burning, and a late-night Thursday timeslot. In February 2005, the show began airing five days a week in the afternoon. It is produced by ESPN Original Entertainment. The show celebrated its 500th show on June 8, 2007.

Segments

Current

  • Rome Is Burning - The show's opening segment, where Rome gives takes on four or five of the top sports-related stories of the day. Rome introduces this segment with "Here's what I am burning on." These takes are often recycled almost verbatim from his radio show, which he hosts earlier in the day.
  • Alone with Rome - Rome interviews a popular sports figure on a number of topics. This is usually the longest segment of the show.
  • The Forum - Rome is joined by two sports analysts, usually for the entire broadcast week, to discuss some of the biggest controversies in the sports world.
  • Correspondents - Generally, a player will give a tour of one of their teams sports facilities or take Rome and the TV audience through a normal day is the life of a sports athlete. Some of the correspondents include David Wright, Nick Swisher, Tony Gonzalez, and Donte' Stallworth. For special occasions, such as the NFL Draft, there is a group of correspondents. The players who appear as correspondents are said to attain good "JRIB karma" afterwards.
  • Final Burn - The last segment of the show, in which Rome gives one or two final takes. He then thanks the show's guests and signs off with "I am out."

These segments almost always run in the above order, with Correspondents pieces about once per week. On rare occasions, if the Alone with Rome guest is late to the studio or the remote location, that segment will air after the Forum. On other occasions, the segments are in a different order by design, without explanation of lateness.

Former

  • U Smack 2 (formerly known as Smack Back) - Rome takes calls and reads e-mails, and gives his take on the topics the caller/e-mailer is talking about. This segment has not aired since late 2005 to make room for the regular segments, and there is no word as to whether it will return.

Contributors

These are guests to the program appearing occasionally, with some appearing more than others. Guest hosts and forum guests usually serve that role for a full calendar week.
