Hello everyone and welcome back to Stage and Screen. I'm your host Katherine Stewart and today we have Part 2 of my interview with alum Jay Jurden. Jay is what you might call a triple threat, but of a slightly different sort. He's a comedian, actor, and writer whose first stand-up album, which was released last year, debuted on iTunes at number one. He's on the HBO show High Maintenance and his writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Mcsweeney's Internet Tendency, and Teen Vogue.
When we left off with Jay on the last episode, his career was just about to blow up. And by blow up I mean he was about to be offered in appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. In this episode, Jay talks about that, and it's a great story, and he shares his thoughts on comedy, fame, success and more. So stay tuned and we'll let Jay take it away.
