The main issue with this article is the quality of references: first reference (Rosenberg, Dan. The Book on Hosting: How Not to Suck as an Emcee.) is not an original reference, but mentioning of Brian McKim in the acknowledgement (second to the last page of the book), the same is true for the second reference (Epstein, Lawrence Jeffrey. Mixed Nuts: America's Love Affair with Comedy Teams from Burns and Allen to Belushi and Aykroyd. New York: PublicAffairs, 2004. 271.): his name appears on the page 271 in the "thank you" list. The third reference is to imdb.com. /k8 07:35, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

The article (Brian McKim) was created by user Bmckim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bmckim). There is high suspicion of self promotion and sockpuppetry. Recommend deletion the article. /k8 22 March 2020
