Uncle Jay, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for all the joy and laughter you’ve brought to me and mine. You are truly inspired. Hugs, kisses, more hugs, and only appropriate behavior — to your family. XO Carol
I don’t normally submit a comment, however I look forward to not only learning about the previous week’s news from your unique perspective, but to posting your link at my blog. My prayer is that all will ‘work to the good’ and that, no matter how dark or troubling your emergency is, the fullness of why it is happening will be revealed to the benefit of all. God bless you and keep you and yours. Looking forward to you getting back to what you were meant to do: Explain The News for all us little minds…..
Oh, Uncle Jay, I am so sorry for your loss, and do take all the time you need. We so appreciate your humor and how you brighten our pathetic little lives, and if it takes you longer than a week, that’s okay by us.
Dear Uncle Jay, There’s a time and place and reason for everything… so like many other loyal fans, I’ll be here waiting, hoping the best for you and your family. I pray for you to have the peace that passes all understanding. Sincerely, Barry
Dear Uncle Jay,
I am praying for comfort for you and your family during this difficult time. I will ask for prayers for you from the prayer chain at my church. For all the other boys and girls out there who go to Sunday School, I would request that you do the same.
Uncle Jay, hope all works out for the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please take all the time you need for your family; they are what is important.
Stay strong Uncle Jay. I am sorry for your troubles. Please know how much fun you bring to other people’s lives. I am sure that your family is proud of you.
My thoughts are with you. I am also dealing with a family situation with my mom. Hopefully, we both find strength in ourselves. Thank you for many years of entertainment. I wish you the best.
It’s quite remarkable to see so many comments that, for once, are positive and sincere. Too many blogs and news stories are followed by countless, mindless drivel and attacks.
Not one here. Just love and respect for you during this trying time.
No doubt, a reflection on you and the goodness you bring through your humor and wit. Take strength in knowing that a multitude of others recognize and appreciate what you do for so many.
I am sorry for your family emergency and I hope all is well with your family. I know how it is. Take as long as you need. All your fans will wait for you!!!
Dear Uncle Jay,
I have only recently become a reader/watcher, and it “makes my Monday” to do so! You are blessed with many talents to do the news for us big kids with little minds. I am definitely a big fan already and have encouraged many friends to check you out.
I will pray for your family emergency to be a somewhat small one, but I fear it is BIG. Please know I feel sure that all your fans, old and new, have you prayerfully in their hearts and minds. Nancy
As others have posted, it appears something serious has happened involving your Father. Whatever the situation, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. When it would be appropriate, please thank your family for sharing you with us! While you take the time to prepare and share, they give up time with you.
From the image at the end of the clip and the reference to an emergency I assume that it is related to Uncle Jay’s father (assuming that this is who is reflected in the picture). My condolense if such a loss.
Uncle Jay,
Naturally my first impulse upon seeing this week’s post is to send you the best possible wishes and expressions of support. It still is. But having reviewed the multitude of posts with similar sentiments, I was quite struck by the great goodwill you engender. It is my hope that the knowledge of this brings you such comfort as you need.
Respect and admiration, Paul
First time blogger (for anything!) but long time admirer of Uncle Jay Explains. You have brightened my Mondays whether at home or on the road in Germany, France, Iraq, etc.

I just looked you up after a year or so. I missed your shows and wanted to see what was new. Sorry to hear of your family emergency. I will pray for you and your family. Take care.
Uncle Jay,
I know that this time has been hard for you and your family. But be encouraged with what you read here. You are loved and your work is cherished and celebrated. We have come to love and care for you and we ask God to strengthen you and lift you high during this troubling time.
I am saddened to see someone who gives such happiness to others is saddened by events beyond control. I ditto the comment that in most blogs there’s always someone negative with something demeaning to say – but not here – not even one. I so enjoy your tongue in cheek commentary on controversial news of the day. Take all the time you need and then hurry back to us – we miss you!
My sincere condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers to you all in this time of your bereavement. This is such a critical time in so many ways and on so many levels, so take all the time you need to feel, experience and process this.
Hugs, kisses and only any other appropriate behavior to you and yours
. . .and Peace be with you all.
Don’t know what the emergency was, but know that many of your loyal “boys and girls” are thinking loving thoughts of you and praying for you and your family. We miss you and hope to see you back explaining the news to our ‘little minds’ very soon. Til then, may God comfort you and give you the strength you need to face difficult days ahead.
