The Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame is excited to share audio from an exclusive Q&A at a screening of the documentary, JACKIE MARTLING: JOKE MAN at the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame.

Long Island's Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling may just be America's last great joke teller. His savant-like ability to remember every joke he's heard since he was eight years old, combined with his lightning-fast wit and infectious laugh, helped establish him as a comedy icon. 

Famous for being the head writer of the Howard Stern show for 15 years and infamous for leaving that position, Jackie's story is fascinating, funny, and heartwarming. In an age of political correctness, Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling helps us belly-laugh at ourselves with kindness and sincerity that defuses his unfiltered punch lines.

In his feature documentary we learn Jackie’s improbable story, from the fledgling days of comedy on Long Island, through his time as one of the "Beatles of Radio”, to his success as an author and actor. Willie Nelson, Penn Jillette, Billy West, Artie Lang, Marc Cuban, Sean Young and a bunch of former Stern show staffers give us their take on what makes him truly unique. 

Listen to the conversation of Jackie Martling and Tom Needham here on the Long Island Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame Podcast.
