Jim Trenton
James "The Poorman" Trenton (born August 19, 1953) is an American radio broadcaster. He was a disc jockey on KROQ in Los Angeles from 1982–1993. The Poorman got his start as the local 'stoned' surf reporter who was the butt of jokes from the morning DJs on KROQ. From there, he became one of the station's most popular figures. He was fired from KROQ as a result of an on-air prank in 1993.
His moniker could be said to have started when he published a slim paperback restaurant review called, The Poorman’s Guide To Gourmet Dining For Under Six Dollars. He claimed that food reviewing was a cheap way for him to get fed while he was an unemployed actor.
He does not currently have a radio program.
