Our Conversation with Jay Jackson (PERD HAPLEY!)

1 hour 24 minutes

HOLY MOLY SURPRISE!!!!!! WE PARTIED WITH PERD! Today we talk to the amazing, incredible, multi-talented, smart, enigmatic Jay Jackson, or I don't know, as you might know him, PERD FREAKIN' HAPLEY! You know he's an actor but did you know he's a jazz musician, news reporter, novelist, teacher, short film producer, sommelier trainee, business owner and the list goes on?! You'll just love learning about him! Jay was beyond generous with his time and knowledge for us. We had so much fun chatting with him about Parks and Rec, his news reporting career, how he learned from the great Amy Poehler, Chris Pratt and Mo Collins on the show, his weight loss journey, his studies in political science, his song called Porn Star (not a joke), and just so much more including his first passion jazz music!
We can't handle how much we loved talking to him. We basically partied because he was drinking wine since he is studying to be the best sommelier you ever did see. Can we get a spinoff of him and Ron playing jazz music and him and April/Craig being sommeliers at Tom's Bistro please?
THANK YOU JAY SO MUCH! Please follow him and all of his life adventures below! Get a cameo video for a loved one, tell your friends who want to be a reporter about his clinic, spread the word everywhere you know how :)
