George the Assistant, part 3

How a funky monkey helps out around Jackpot!, crashes a comedy taping, and sometimes gets in trouble. -by Larry Crane

At some point George the Assistant became George the Intern. This seems like a demotion, and maybe we stopped paying him for a while. I feel really bad about this, but he’s still with us so I guess it all went okay.

Trouble returns! George the Intern is back.

George the assistant wants to live in a grand piano. Why?

How are you gonna get down from there with that mic?

Hey George, how’s it sound in the cans?

Goddamn George thinks he’s a junior producer now. Darn assistant!

For a few years, pre-pandemic, Jackpot!’s co-owner,

Jenna Zine

, was putting on Keep It Like A Secret comedy shows, with many of them at Jackpot!.

We also recorded a few comedy albums around then as well, like Dax Jordan’s #1 Grandson.

Our pals at the now-defunct Royale Brewing used to provide free beer samples to our audiences as well. We miss them!

George, leave that Royale beer alone.
