” episode, Jay, whose father was in the Air Force, described a childhood where he hopped around to different places because of his dad’s career. So it’s fitting that he landed a role in the hotly anticipated summer blockbuster: ““My mom is in the background. She’s screaming,” he told me. “My dad is real quiet and he’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, that’s cool. But that’s the Navy, right?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.

“I felt like I was showing up every day and was in this boot camp, like I was getting learned from these craftsmen who had amazing comedic timing … And they were all so gracious and just like wrapped their arms around me. And we went into that season, I had no idea what I was doing, but we came out of it and the ratings were so crazy.
