Jackie the Joke Man Martling joined the show in February of 1983, Howard said he didn’t remember exactly how it came about but he and Fred thought it would be cool to have Martling come in and do something once a week. Fred said that they had the Stump the Joke Man thing that they did and that Jackie would get almost every joke right when the listeners would call in with them. Martling would come in and he’d write jokes for Howard and pass the notes to him. Jackie said that he wasn’t sure when that started happening but he remembered Howard doing the “Mama Lookaboobooday” character on the show. Al Rosenberg said that if Martling laughed at a joke during the show, you knew that he wrote it, if he didn’t laugh, it was something Fred or Howard wrote.
