(FOUR) DISCOVERED BY RODNEY
After doing stand up for awhile in his home area of Toronto, Jim Carrey moved to Los Angeles to really go after his dreams. While performing at The Comedy Store, he added another fan to his growing base. This would be iconic comedian Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney then got him signed up to be the opening act for his tours.
(THREE) IN LIVING COLOR
Jim became friends with Damon Wayans. This lead to Jim getting on the cult sketch comedy show “In Living Color.” He would be crucial to part of the show’s success. In the early seasons he was the only white guy, but to me the show loses its “race” and just becomes funny. The show should of never been cancelled.
(TWO) GRANDFATHER
In February of 2010, Jim’s daughter gave birth to his first grandchild. The parents, Jim’s daughter Jane and her husband/musician Alex Santana named the child Jackson Santana.
(ONE) CELEBS & HOT CHICKS
Jim Carrey’s personal life always seems to make its way to the public eye. Some of the relationship’s he’s had and who he has dated it quite impressive. It’s like he has lived the junior high school boy’s dream by dating hot actresses and models. He has dated Lauren Holly, Renee Zellweger, model Anine Bing, and most recently Jenny McCarthy for half a decade.
