After a four-year stint on "SNL," Jim starred in the movie "Half Baked "alongside Dave Chappelle.That summer, MTV also invited the comedian to co-host the popular show "MTV's Beach House." Additional appearances include numerous stints on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," as well as roles in several movies, such as "Dick" (1999) and "Once in the Life" (2000), and most recently, "Beer League."
