Sad Loss of a Good Man

Bob Saget with Jenny Jones

Bob Saget was everything you have seen written about him since he suddenly passed away this week. He was simply one of the nicest people you could meet. I had the good fortune to be his opening act when we were both touring the comedy clubs in the early 1980s. Along with everyone else who ever knew him, I’m so sorry and still shocked at his sudden passing this week. May he rest in peace.

๐ŸŽ„ My Christmas Poem ๐ŸŽ„

Itโ€™s 2021 and Santa got woke
Saying he regrets some things that he spoke
โ€œHo Ho Hoโ€ he will utter no more
Since one woman accused him of calling her a whore.

โ€œHe sees you when youโ€™re sleepingโ€ฆโ€
Is a phrase not to spout.
It seems the very idea
Was freaking people out.

He no longer asks if youโ€™ve been naughty or nice
It got Santa in trouble and heโ€™s paying a price
Seems he kept a secret list of naughty co-eds
And that did not sit well with the Feds.

Santa got a lawyer and then he cut a deal.
He rolled on the elves. S**t got real!
They were stealing candy canes and eating them too.
Now there are cameras, watching everything they do.

So things are back on track, good news for me and you.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022. ๐ŸŽ‰

I’m 75 Today

Jenny-Jones-at-75

Iโ€™m 75 today, thought I looked good & strong

But everyone seems bent on proving me wrong.

I shop for my groceries and feel like a star

Then someone says, โ€œDo you need help to your car?โ€

At the nursery I got plants and am ready to pay

He says, โ€œLucky for you itโ€™s senior discount day!โ€

I tried on some shoes at the mall I could wear

Salesgirl said, โ€œMy grandmother has the very same pair.”

We’re all getting older – this is not big news

So eat well, laugh often, and wear comfortable shoes.

I survived a pandemic so I can survive the scrutiny of posting an un-retouched photo taken on my 75th birthday. And I vow not to retouch the one I post when I turn 80!

They Know Me In Poland ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

I was going through some of my mother’s things and found an old Polish newspaper. Growing up in Canada as Polish immigrants, I remember my parents always got this Zwiazkowy paper by mail and I remember my dad used to give us the section for Dzieci (children) that had cartoons. I wondered why she kept this old paper until I noticed my photo and saw that it featured a front page interview where I was promoting my upcoming talk show.

I never knew about this huge feature in the Polish Daily News and don’t know why she didn’t tell me. For all the Poles who follow my Polish recipes, I thought you might enjoy seeing this Polish newspaper from 1991, the year my talk show premiered. I had no idea they knew me in Poland!ย Jenny Jones Polish Newspaper

R.I.P. Larry King

I was thrilled when I was invited to be interviewed by Larry King.ย  I had just created my new “Girls’ Night Out” comedy show for women only but I never expected to be talking to this legendary talk show host. Rest in peace, Mr. King.

Happy New Year, everyone! It was a challenging year that 2020, but I did learn a few things along the way.

1. I finally know what color my hair is. ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™‚๏ธ

2. I should have invested in jigsaw puzzles. ๐Ÿงฉ

3. Cleaning my own house is rewarding. ๐Ÿงน

4. I should have bought a smaller house. ๐Ÿ 

5. Ten months of 24/7 with my husband and no one was arrested. It turns out we really like each other. ๐Ÿ’

I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.

My “Shopping Cart”

Today I bought a rescue saw, three AEDs, six ice water rescue suits, 5 sets of turnout gear, 7 helmets, 6 pairs of boots, and a rapid deployment craft, all for six volunteer fire departments in Ontario, Canada, my home province. This makes 28 grants so far for the men and woman who volunteer to serve their small communities in Ontario.

This was a happy day for me. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
