Youtube Flashback: Billy West on the Stern Show Vol. I



Billy West

 Before Futurama, legendary voice actor Billy West was a member of the The Howard Stern Show, providing the voices to a wide assortment of hilarious characters. One of my favorite characters that West performed on the Stern show was that of Stern writer and on-air personality Jackie "the joke man" Martling. The voice West provided was for the Jackie Puppet, which was an actual puppet that was used in the show and was supposed to represent the rude, crude, and loud side of Martling - saying things Martling himself would never say on air. If one of the Jackie Puppet's corny jokes failed to get a laugh, it would angrily demand "Laugh, Damnit, laaaaugggh!" in a wheezy yell that was a comedically exaggerated interpretation of the real Martling's voice.

The Jackie puppet










How cool would it be to have a puppet for the exclusive purpose of making fun of one of your coworkers? Of course, Martling and West have said in many interviews that it was a strange dynamic with the Jackie Puppet, as Martling would often be the one writing the vicious humor directed at himself and feeding it to West via notes in real time. 

The Jackie Puppet was hard drinking and partying, and was high all the time, which contributed to one of the best bits with Billy West as the Jackie Puppet - when the puppet got high on Jimsonweed. Enjoy.

  8. I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content
    as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  10. I leave a comment each time I especially enjoy a post on a website or if I have something to contribute to the
    discussion. Usually it's a result of the passion communicated in the article I read. And after this post "Youtube Flashback: Billy West on the Stern Show Vol. I". I was actually excited enough to post a thought :-) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it's
    allright. Could it be simply me or do some of these remarks
    come across like coming from brain dead people?
    :-P And, if you are posting on other online social sites, I would like to
    keep up with you. Could you make a list the complete urls of your social pages like your Facebook
    page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
