Janine Hogan (Jazzy the Backup Musician)

Jazzy (Janine Hogan) has been with Big Apple Live since the very first episode in the 70’s, but she has never been on camera…intentionally. Jazzy is an understudy for the BAL band, and has had the wild misfortune of never breaking into the actual band, despite several "accidents" happening to other band members. Billy and TJ have fun reminiscing with Jazzy about the old days, how she wants so badly to be on BAL in any capacity, and how her butt ended up accidentally on screen so many times. Along the way, Jazzy improvises theme songs for our segments, cool!Check out comedian Janine Hogan on instagram @j9_Hogan where you can find her upcoming shows, including live looping shows and with the stage show “Mortified.” Live from the Big Apple is improvised live in front of a studio audience by July Diaz as “TJ Hunterscap” and Ben Cassil as “Billy Rockwell.” You can follow us on instagram @bigapplelive or email us for advice at [email protected], and check out full video of our episodes on YouTube.
