You never hear anything about him any more.

That's awesome.
 
Arnold came through a press box I was in about a decade ago. I didn't talk to him, but a lot of writers did and they all said they were surprised, but he was a good guy.
 
i also have heard from a person or two who have met him, saying same thing, that he's a good dude. Never met the man.

Anyone know what the deal is with "Best Damn Sports Show?" - is it still in production? I see they run the clip shows a bunch, but it doesn't seem to be a daily thing anymore. Not that I really miss it.

I liked it the first couple of years when it was a bunch of guys talking about sports, but once they morphed into top-50 lists/Miss Hooters pageants/whatnot, I gave up on it.
 
I get Tom Arnold and Kevin James and Jim Belushi confused.
 
Tom Arnold seems to have fallen off the face of the earth after starting 6-20 at IU.

I sincerely hope you're joking. You confuse Arnold, an E-lister, with James? Really?

So is James a C-lister? Sorry.

He just had the No. 1 movie in America. Definitely not an A-lister, but a solid B-lister. Name the last time Tom Arnold did ANYTHING worth mentioning.

I remember hearing him on some awful sports talk show in Bama last summer. Apparently, he spent a day with Saban and the Bammers at practice.
 
He has lasted a hell of a lot longer without Roseanne than anyone ever thought he would.

He also proved in "True Lies" that, given good material, he has (or had, as it was 15 years ago) some comedic talent. He should just never work in a lead capacity - second-banana status only.
 
I hate to say this...admit it...
He is fantastic on My Big Redneck Wedding. He makes the show. I've found him unfunny from Day 1. He's really funny on that "show."
 
I never would have considered Kevin James an A-lister, but how many actors can star in a film that centers around them that will make $150 million?
