Jackie Career
Kassian discovered his love for performing while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison and soon began performing five nights a week at a club run by Sam Kinison’s brother, Bill Kinison. She also appeared in the TV series “Murphy Brown” (1988) and in films such as “Bam Bam and Celeste” (2005) and “Looking Ahead: 2016” (2018). Kashian has produced half-hour specials on Comedy Central and appeared on CBS, NBC and the national radio/TV show Bob And Tom Tom. She travels the world, spending approximately 25 weeks of the year on the road and hosting U.S. troops in Africa and the Middle East at various times.

He has a close personal and professional relationship with Maria Bamford, and they are often together in Los Angeles and on the road.
In August 2006, Kashian began hosting the podcast Dork Forest Radio (later Dork Forest), releasing new episodes once or twice a week. Originally co-hosted by comedian Joe Wilson on the BlogTalkRadio network, the program has been broadcast from his home in Van Nuys for many years and was first recorded from his living room after he left BlogTalkRadio. The program features “incredible conversations” between Kashian and her guests about their feelings in what Kashian often refers to as her “dorm room.” Guests included Paul F. Tompkins, Jen Kirkman, James Urbaniak, Jimmy Pardo, Aisha Tyler, and Mary-Lynn Rajskub. Fans of the series refer to themselves as the “Rangers of the Dockland Forest.” In 2010, the podcast changed from a live to a pre-recorded format, featuring superior audio quality and a new “Welcome to the Dork Forest” theme created by Mike Ruekberg.
Kashian recorded the first Dork Forest in 2011 with a club or theater audience in attendance, and subsequent “live” episodes include those broadcast on August 12, 2016, and September 7, 2016. In early 2016, Kashian and comedian Laurie Kilmartin began work on a new podcast produced by Nerdist Industries called “The Jackie and Laurie Show”. The podcast later became independent and moved to The Greatest Entertainment. In addition to frequently performing in Los Angeles and on the road, the duo occasionally discussed harassment and unequal treatment of female comedians, Kilmartin’s work as a writer on the evening circuit, and what life was like for Kilmartin’s multiple generations.
