Morgan Jay's passion for comedy stemmed from his innate communication skills. The desire of a little boy for affirmation soon transformed into concrete artistic ambitions. According to his own account, he was the class clown in high school. "I think I just wanted attention at first, and that the girls would like me," he says. "But there was definitely a shift in how I thought about my craft when my motivation actually became clear to me, and I began to look deeper for ways to elevate a regular comedy show."
