Jim Rome Is Burning, originally titled Rome Is Burning and often abbreviated as JRIB, is a sports conversation and opinion show hosted by Jim Rome. Debuting on May 6, 2003 as Rome Is Burning, it was originally a once a week show in primetime at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday nights on ESPN. After a short hiatus in 2004, it returned with a new name, Jim Rome Is Burning, and a late-night Thursday timeslot. In February 2005, JRIB became a daily program airing each afternoon at 4:30 PM in between NFL Live and Around the Horn. After ESPN expanded NFL Live to sixty minutes, JRIB moved to ESPN2 as part of its new afternoon lineup on September 12, 2011. It is produced by Mandt Bros. Productions in association with ESPN Original Entertainment and tapes in Los Angeles as opposed to ESPN's Bristol, Connecticut headquarters.

These segments almost always run in the above order, with Correspondents pieces about once per week. On rare occasions, if the Alone with Rome guest is late to the studio or the remote location, that segment will air after the Forum. On other occasions, the segments are in a different order by design, without explanation of lateness. Also, a show may end with a Correspondents piece instead of a Final Burn.
These are guests to the program appearing occasionally, with some appearing more than others. Guest hosts and forum guests usually serve that role for a full calendar week.
