Back in August the original cast of Studio C announced they would be leaving BYUtv to start their own venue called JK! Studios. Matt Meese and Jason Gray told BYU-Idaho Radio this is something the group has thought about for a while.
“We wanted to be able to do more than what we were doing with Studio C,” Meese said. “All we were doing was sketch comedy and while we loved that we wanted to do more: sitcoms, reality shows, podcasts. Family Friendly comedy but just outside of the realm of sketch specifically.”
Many of the members of JK! Studios are married and have families. Gray is one of those and despite leaving a full-time job, the opportunity presented was too good to pass up.
