Trivia

Is a songwriter as well as a comedian. Among his best known songs are "Flies", "The Pot Song", "The Beer Song", and "Fool's Gold." Most of his songs are either about beer or pot.

Graduated from Michigan State University as a mechanical engineer, Class of '71.

He has been a stand-up comic since 1979, and started on the radio with Howard Stern when Howard was at WNBC-AM in 1983.

Left the 'Howard Stern Show' in 2001.

Had his toenails removed by a doctor he found in the Pennysaver.

He was Howard Stern's head writer, and although he was poked fun at on the show, he didn't say much. Ironically, after he quit, he was replaced by comedian Artie Lange, who was Howard's very verbal co-host (along with Robin Quivers).

Has for decades maintained a jetty in Long Island Sound off the coast of Bayville, N.Y.

Went on to host his own radio show on Terrestrial Radio, "Jackie Martling's JokeHunt".

Although he was made fun of for supposedly not being important to the Howard Stern Show, when he left, the show went into a tailspin, desperately seeking to find a replacement... not a writer, ironically, but a co-host, and Jackie was never a co-host. Before Artie Lange was chosen there was a year of various in-studio "auditions" (so to speak), from comedian Craig Gass to AJ Benza.
