Summary: these people respect Jay but don't know him. They had no indication he believes these things. They basically have no more information than anyone else. Also, there's some jokes that I just found annoying and they took forever to talk about it.

Thanks for sharing. No one provides any actual information. How does this guy know it’s true? His evidence is “he’s trending on Twitter”. And people on Twitter are like “some comedians with verified accounts said it’s true” but like who?

Tim Heidecker confirmed it but deleted the tweet because he said he was answering a question and didnt want to be used as a news source. But that is literally a clear photo of Jay Johnston’s unmistakable entire face. It’s major “fake news” vibes to act like there’s any possibility that what we can physically see with our own eyes is not happening.

Yeah, I agree with both of you though- that's 99.99% Jay. But I would love to hear from someone close to him whether he's doing OK, how "far gone" he is, if they ever had any indication he may be sucked into some extremist thing, etc. The fact that even people who have worked with him are just sharing around the same three bits of information is frustrating.
I love Jay :(

I think a lot of people kept these views quiet for a while, and my guess is he kept his mouth shut in mixed company and a lot of his friends are feeling very upset and disappointed. They all have to deal with it emotionally and I don’t expect them to be coming forth with information. But I totally feel you, he was always one of my favorites and I’ve crushed on him for years. RIP :’(

I agree. I've actually been really struggling with this news. Trying to find any "signs". From what I've heard, he's been struggling with some substance abuses. Add in misinformation (and being buddys with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes) and there we have it.
But shit man... Choo-Choo... say it ain't so?

Yep, I love everyone on Mr. Show but Jay was always a stand-out.
Also, I've never been able to understand the Gavin connection. I saw a video of them laughing together, but in the recommended videos, David Cross was with Gavin... and he's not an insurrectionist. Are they buddies?
