Career

Jackie began his show business career as a musician on Long Island, New York, playing with an original music & comedy trio, "The Off Hour Rockers," until the late '70s, when he began to telling jokes on stage solo. He eventually segued into performing full time as a stand-up comedian.


In the late 70's and early 80's, he recorded several joke LP's that he mailed to Howard Stern at WNBC-AM when Howard first arrived in New York City in 1982. The LP's led to his being asked to make a guest appearance on Howard's radio show, and eventually being hired as a cast member.


When Howard and the gang got a TV show, Jackie was named head writer of both shows, a position he held for fifteen years. [2] He is famous for pioneering joke writing "on the fly," a technique of instant scripting where he wrote jokes and funny lines for Howard Stern while the show was in progress.


Jackie & the other Stern cast member/writer Fred Norris, wrote most of the material for the infamous "Jackie puppet," which was usually voiced by Billy West. West has remarked how surreal it was to sit behind Jackie, viciously attacking him as the puppet, with lines Jackie had just written himself.
