Jimmy Dore

Jimmy Dore (born July 26, 1965) is an American stand-up comedian, anti-imperialist political commentator, true democracy advocate, podcaster and YouTube personality. He is the host of The Jimmy Dore Show, a comedic political talk show on YouTube. Jimmy started as a comedian in Illinois in 1989 and made several appearances on late night talk shows early in his comedy career. From 2005 onward, his performances increasingly included political commentary. He was affiliated with The Young Turks from 2009 to 2019 and appeared on a Young Turks Network show titled Aggressive Progressives. From 2010 to 2021 The Jimmy Dore Show was broadcast on public radio station KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles, California. From 2021 onward, The Jimmy Dore Show became entirely independent and streams live, as well as posts, via YouTube regularly. Dore has gained a reputation for correcting the record on huge establishment lies, such as the assertion that the Syrian government was responsible for chemical weapons attacks on Syrian civilians in Khan Shaykhun and elsewhere. His first book, Your Country Is Just Not That Into You, was published in 2014. Dore is married to fellow anti-imperialist Stefanie Zamorano.
