JIM ROME ON SHOWTIME, the new one-hour series set to premiere on Wednesday, November 21st at 10:00 PM ET/PT, has announced an all-star lineup of guests for its premiere episode. Los Angeles Lakers' world champion Kobe Bryant; Green Bay Packers Super Bowl champion quarterback Aaron Rodgers; acclaimed actor and sports enthusiast Matthew Perry and legendary Hollywood producer and sports franchise owner Peter Guber, will all sit down with host Jim Rome to discuss a wide range of sports and entertainment related topics ranging from the Los Angeles Lakers new coach and off-season acquisitions to the Green Bay Packers push towards a playoff berth.

Earlier this year, Rome signed a multi-year deal with CBS to contribute across multiple CBS Corporation platforms. The partnership paved the way for ROME, a half-hour daily show airing on the CBS Sports Network, and The Jim Rome Show on CBS Radio beginning in January, 2013.

Previously, Rome served as host of "Jim Rome is Burning" on ESPN, as well as "The Last Word with Jim Rome," televised nightly on Fox Sports Net. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the "$5 dollar-an-hour" traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara's sports. He left KTMS for San Diego's all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690. Rome continues to host a highly-successful daily, live sports radio show from Southern California.

JIM ROME ON SHOWTIME will be produced by GENERATE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
