The Twist Podcast #231: SCOTUS Gone Wild, Food Mashups, a Guest Listicle, and an Interview with Actor and Comedian Jason Stuart
Join co-hosts Mark McNease and Rick Rose as we consider the Supreme Court’s recent flame throwing, debate what to call a ketchup mustard hybrid, and enjoy an interview with actor and comedian Jason Stuart.
JASON STUART is a prolific character actor & stand-up comic. Born in the Bronx and raised in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, and now residing in Palm Springs and lives next door to his 85 year old Jewish mother Gloria, but does not live with her! Stuart is a self-described insecure Jewish kid who turned to theatre and performing to mask his emerging sexual identity. He confesses, “Barbra Streisand in “Funny Girl” saved my life”.
Hollywood began to take notice by casting him in films like “Kindergarten Cop,” “Vegas Vacation,” and TV shows like “The Closer” and “My Wife & Kids.” Frustrated by years of living in the closet, Jason chose to come out publicly on an infamous episode of Geraldo Rivera focused on “Unconventional Comedians.” He went on to guesting on shows as “Goliath” opposite J.K. Simmons, “Love” from comedy guru Judd Apatow, and indie films like “Tangerine” from filmmaker Sean Baker and “Love is Strange” opposite John Lithgow and Alfred Molina.
Stuart hit comedy gold with his co-star & co-creator Mitch Hara for their Amazon comedy series “Smothered” for which won the Indie Series Awards for Best Actor In A Comedy, which lead to a wave of interest for Stuart & Hara as “Content Creators”, hitting a nerve in the zeitgeist and giving his them new material, energy, and a purpose. Their motto is “we do not wait for permission to create”. They are now in post production on season 2 which will drop in the fall.
These days, Jason keeps his comedy chops polished through stand-up gigs all over the country with his recent comedy album “I’m The Daddy And I Have Candy” that’s been featured on Sirius XM Radio. Jason’s also an in demand speaker on diversity in the workplace with his autobiography “Shut Up, I’m Talking!”. In addition, he serves as the National Co-Chairman of the SAG-AFTRA LGBTQ Committee, which he co-created in 2004. He’s also recently completed a number of projects that are streaming with diverse roles such as the thriller “Immortal” opposite Sam Levine & starring Dylan Baker & Tony Todd, the action film “Abducted” on Showtime (playing detectives in both) and a starring role in the indie drama “Hank” from director Hongyu “Neo” Li, about a couple who consider an open relationship, which continues to earn high praise at numerous festivals, including winning the Best LGBTQ Short at The Los Angeles International Film Festival and was also nominated for Best Actor at the Glendale International Film Festival.
