Jackie will be performing at McGuire’s in Bohemia, on Long Island slated for Saturday, June 14th, 2025. He also has a role in the new Amazon Prime mystery drama The Better Sister, starring Jessica Biel.

Ahead of his Long Island gig, we caught up with our hilarious friend—and this was our favorite moment from that conversation.

Lou: What's up man?

Jackie: "I was on TV for the first time in a long time, in a show called The Better Sister, which is a new Amazon Prime murder mystery. I've got a very small role—but there are no small roles, only crummy actors—and that was me. Also, my house is in it. Of course, I'm not in it until Episode 7, and my house doesn't show up until Episode 8, so you really have to sit through the whole damn thing to get to me. But it's a really good show. It's really mysterious, and there are a lot of people who could be guilty of the murder. It's that kind of interesting."

Lou: I already was going to watch this, that is a great cast, Jessica Biel, Elizabeth Banks, Kim Dickens, that is a pretty cool cast, that is a good show. 

Jackie: "It's a great cast—Matthew Modine is in it, Gloria Reuben—it's really good. It twists and turns; you're going to get a kick out of it, I promise you."

Lou: Now I read, they said your house was in a show again, what other shows has your house been in? 

Jackie: "This is the fifth time. My house makes a lot more money in show business than I do. There was almost an entire episode of The Affair—do you remember that show? It’s so funny, because they shot nearly a whole episode here. It was a 5-year-old’s birthday party with pony rides and everything. So the place is packed, this huge episode with all these extras, and I have an hour-long tape of a massive party at my house. The only problem is, I don’t know a single person at the party. It’s really funny. But then the house was also in a show called Instinct, and it was in The Other Two, and in the series finale of Blue Bloods."
