      Joke Man

      2023 1h 15m Biography Documentary List
      Reviews Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling may just be America's last great joke teller. His savant-like ability to remember every joke he's heard since he was eight years old, combined with his lightning-fast wit and infectious laugh, helped establish him as a comedy icon. Famous for being the head writer of the Howard Stern show for 15 years, and infamous for leaving that position, Jackie's story is fascinating, funny, and heartwarming. In an age of political correctness, Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling helps us belly-laugh at ourselves with kindness and sincerity that defuses his unfiltered punch lines. Read More Read Less

      Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It’s a valentine to Martling, who’s still in the mix when it comes to performing and hustling, eager to perform for audiences and Karr’s camera, doing a fine job guiding the story of his life. Rated: B Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Patrick McDonald HollywoodChicago.com Jackie Martling is living history, having gone thru the heights of the 1970s stand up era & the Howard Stern Show b/f satellite. The doc does a decent job breaking it all down, up to and including JM's insights on why he was "laid off" from the HS show. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review I wish Joke Man had tried a little less hard to steer the conversation toward the positive and more time admitting that even the best life has its letdowns. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 19, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
