Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeStill not enough? In March, Peacock debuted the comedy series “Bust Down,” which Jay co-created and stars in alongside Chris Redd, Langston Kerman and Jak Knight. With so many gigs all at once, at this year’s WGA Awards, Jay pulled off a triple nomination in the comedy/variety sketch series category for her work on “SNL,” “Michael Che” and “Pause.” But here’s the thing: This all happened mostly during an age of lockdowns, social distancing, quarantines and masks.
So it’s only now that Jay is finally starting to experience the effects of this success.“Weirdly, when the [Netflix] special came out, we were in the pandemic,” she says. “So it wasn’t like one of those things where I got to go outside, and people were like, ‘Oh, I saw your special!’ I made it in this bubble where I didn’t really know who saw it, or what it was actually doing in the world.
I couldn’t tour immediately after to get a sense of whether more people were coming out to shows. Because there were no shows.
So it took maybe a whole year before I would go out to the Cellar and be on stage, and notice that people would clap louder than they did before.”There will be plenty of stories in the years to come of projects delayed or even canceled due to the pandemic and the work stoppage — followed by the emergence of a world consuming content in different ways. But then there are also the positive stories of talent whose star power coincidentally rose during that same time frame.And that is clearly Jay, who grew up in Boston and worked in other fields before trying her hand in stand-up comedy in her late 20s.
