Personal life

In various interviews and in his stand-up act, he has admitted that he disliked his religious upbringing. Florentine's interest in musical performance was on the rise due to his love of heavy metal music, but he'd often say he never had the ability to play an instrument.
Florentine worked in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where his father planned to start a family-run hot dog vending company. The company, on the other hand, was unsuccessful, and the family migrated back to New Jersey. Florentine was in and out of jail in his late teens and had heroin and alcohol use. He has said that his obsession with hard rock music led him on a rocky path in life. Florentine was later a DJ on his college radio station in Hazlet, New Jersey, WCNJ. After seeing Andrew Dice Clay for the first time on a Rodney Dangerfield Comedy special, he wished to work in stand-up comedy. He would often joke on air that marriage and kids were not for him. In December 2006, his mother of six years committed suicide. When Jim Florentine, a guest on the Howard Stern Show, asked co-host Robin Quivers to join him on a date during a show segment in August 2007. Quivers became more aware of the situation because of the media's ferocious, Quivers became tense about it. Quivers revealed on the radio show that they had broken up with Florentine on July 28, 2008. Florentine was "genuine and honest," she said, and that he was the one who started the break up.
