About Jackie Martling

Jackie The Joke Man Martling is a comedian/radio personality/actor/author/singer-songwriter. For eighteen years (1983-2001) he was Head Writer and a fixture on radio & television's Howard Stern Show. In March 1979 to promote the fledgling Long Island comedy scene and the stand-up shows he was producing he created a dirty joke line Use Your Finger! Dial (516) 922-WINE! which has been in uninterrupted operation ever since 516-922-9463. In 1982 after founding Governor's Comedy Shop in Levittown on Long Island and touring as a national headliner on a suggestion from a Washington DC comedy club owner he blindly sent his three self-produced LP's to Howard Stern upon Howard's arrival at WNBC-AM in New York City. Howard called him to make a guest appearance on his radio show. In 1986 Jackie became a full-time cast member and the head writer of Stern's radio and TV shows and as they say the rest is history. Born and raised in East Norwich NY a tiny hamlet on the glorious North Shore of Long Island New York he graduated in 1966 from Oyster Bay High School and earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University in 1971. Jackie still works all around the country performing his solo act of rapid-fire jokes and his classic finale Stump the Joke Man. Jackie is a guest on many of the top national radio shows and podcasts. You can follow him on Twitter @JackieMartling.
