Jay Jurden

Famous Bis

Jay Jurden is a New York-based comedian, writer, and actor.

He has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (2014-) and was selected as one of the New Faces of 2019 at the Just for Laughs festival. He worked as a staff writer for Apple TV’s The Problem with Jon Stewart (2021–2023), for which he earned three Writers Guild of America Award nominations.

Jurden is openly bi, telling an interviewer for Vulture in 2019,

I think that bi erasure is very real. I identify as bi or queer (cue the laughter from Gay Twitter), and one way to combat that is coming up with new stereotypes about bisexuality: the NBA of sexualities (in terms of current popularity and being fun to watch).[1]

He also talks about his sexuality in his incredible stand-up routines. In April 2021, Jurden was the host for Gag Reflex, the first-ever comedy special produced by the hook-up app Grindr.
