Jack E. Jett hospitalized. Needed: prayers, tasteless jokes
May 3rd, 2009
Dallas Rational Radio jock and Instant Tea’s star commenter Jack E. Jett has had a dramatic week. In a recent Planet Out NYC travel guide, his old co-hostess Sandra Bernhard just name-checked him in a list of entertainers she worships — Jett’s name was placed between Paul Mooney’s and Lily Tomlin’s.
But he was also feeling some chest pain. And it looks like his ticker is in need of a major overhaul.
On Monday, he’s scheduled to have bypass surgery. Understandably, he’s a little worried. But Jett knows that humor is the best medicine. And the more offensive, the better (but be a little gentle, please — we don’t want him laughing too hard).
Post what you’d like in the comments section below. I hear Jack has computer access, so he’s probably scouring the blogoshere 24/7.
Get well!

Know that Bruiser, Karma, Cowboy, and John all wish Daddy Jack a quick and speedy recovery.
We love you!!!

Jack has one of the biggest hearts of anyone that I know. So it needs a little tune-up. Here’s to a quick recovery and another 200,000 miles! Can you tell I’m a lesbian?!? haha

I’m surprised Jack has a heart. I assumed his species propelled a form of blood through a series of bladders, and he respirates via gills under his arms so he can talk longer without breathing. (Hope you got a laugh! Best of luck tomorrow, Jack!)

From me and Derek and all of our Friday Night Flower Mound Social Group, our prayers are with you and we wish you a speedy recovery ASAP. Since you are temporarily out of ear shot we will strive to keep all of our jokes and dry humor at it’s upmost pace to fill in until your return.
We Love Ya Big Guy,
So Hurry back to your natural place in Society. Or Else!

Oh, Jack E boy — I’m sorry you are going through this. Perhaps you should put down that Bloody Mary. It isn’t going to help in this case.

Jack….hope all goes well with your surgry. John and I have a mutual friend who just underwent triple bypass surgey and he is doing very well. I know you will do equally well. Prayers and thoughts are with you and John. Remember ‘A heart is not measured by how much you love…but by how much you are loved by others’ L.Frank Baum

Thinking of you during this difficult time. Wish I had a dirty joke I could recall to cheer you up. I’ll have to check my smut files. Hang in there, Buddy. We need you back in the spotlight!

He has a heart?
Oh, I’m kidding! I hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly. I’ll be bored otherwise.

See, now…I know exactly what happened.
Jack E. told me he was on his way to meet a guy he found on craigslist with an ad that read “YOU WON’T BELIEVE YOUR EYES” Next thing I know… his heart is giving him problems.
Damn…it must’ve been true! ; )
I’ll be sending positive vibes your way, Jack E. Jett.

Jackie, my Dad had quintuple bypass 23 years ago and is still going strong. Of course, he’s living just out of pure meaness, but I digress…..
Guess this means no Chicken Fried Steak or Whataburger during recovery.
Hang in there, buddy!

An East Texas woman had 2 chickens. One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well.

The Big Guy says – get well soon, sir!

All of us at The Richard Hunter Show wish JEJ a speedy recovery so as to get him back to 1360 Rational Radio as quickly as possible. The blow torch of truth doesn’t blow quite as passionately without him.

I pray you a speedy recovery Jack and a big warm hug to comfort you and your family.
May 4th, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Jack it’s been awhile since I have seen you. It always seems you were eating something fried at Cindy’s. Can you believe we were room mates over 30 years ago!. You are always in my prayers. I know John will take care of you. Let’s us know if you need anything.

The surgery went well. The good news is that the surgeon only had to perform a quadruple instead of a quintuple bypass. Jack is now in ICU. They let us in for five minutes to see him, but then we had to leave as visiting hours are over until 8:30. During the five minutes we got to spend with him, he was completely out of it and not at all alert, however, he did move his hand and it looked like he tried to open his eyes. Knowing Jack, he was trying to let us know that he’s there and that he knew we were there.
They plan on weaning him off the respirator tonight (Jack will be thrilled as that was his biggest concern).
