The Jerk List is a segment created by Dave Dameshek to punish those whom Dameshek deems are 'jerks'. The Jerk List was originally known as the Jerk Report and debuted on The Adam Carolla Show in 2006 and was a weekly feature throughout all of Dameshek's various shows. Prior to listing those who appear on the Jerk List, Dave informs those who might be upset with him if they find themselves on the list that, "I didn't do this to you, you did this to you! Let it begin!!!" Dave punishes each person on the list by firing the Han Solo Edition Blaster into the backside of their soul.
Jerk List Controversy[]
After the Feburary 4, 2009 episode of Dave Dameshek On Demand, the fan favorite Jerk List was inexplicably removed from the show. Though no reason was ever given by either Dameshek or ESPN, most people in the Shek Republic felt that it was ESPN's call to have the bit removed from the show. Many fans were upset and dismayed by the sudden and unexplained removal of the Jerk List from the show. The Jerk List would not return until Dave left ESPN and did The Dave Dameshek Show Powered By Accuscore.com podcast in November 2009, much to the delight of those in the Shek Republic.
