He has parlayed his success as a stand-up to firmly establish himself in the film and television arena, featuring in several episodes of the hit series “The King of Queens,” and recent guest appearances on “Veep” on HBO and the Disney Channel’s “Bizaardvark.” Jackie is currently seen in the series regular role of “Tony” in “Loudermilk” (3 seasons on Netflix), which is Peter Farrelly’s directing foray into television.“

Jackie recently shot “The Worlds Greatest Beer Run” in Thailand , starring along side Russell Crowe, Bill Murray and Zac Efron, and recently “Ricky Stanicky” with John Cena and William H. Macy. Jackie’s golf background, popularity from a national Phil Mickelson commercial, and relationships on the PGA and celebrity golf circuit, make him an often requested headlining comedian for affiliated and corporate event entertainment including Bay Hill in Orlando FL, Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles CA, The Hideaway Golf Club in Palm Springs, CA, Trump Doral in Miami FL. Morgan Stanley, Hertz, IBM, Intel and Yahoo to name a few.
Jackie is truly a “comic’s comic” whose refreshingly unique brand of sarcastic observational humor puts him in a class all his own, apart from the many derivative cookie cutter comics plying the airways today. Audiences young and old appreciate his wit and rapid-fire “take no prisoners” delivery.
