No Joke, Jackie “The Joke Man”
Martling Debuts The Jackie Button for iPhone
Pull Something Funny Out of Your
Pocket
What do you get when you cross an
iPhone developer with legendary joke teller Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling? You
get more jokes and infamous Jackie sounds on your phone than you ever thought
possible for $0.99.
Bolt Creative, the team behind
best-selling app Pocket God, today announced the release of The Jackie Button,
the first app featuring the very funny jokes and sounds of Jackie Martling. Head
writer of The Howard Stern Show for 15 years (1986-2001), and now host of his
own show on Sirius Satellite Radio, Jackie’s Joke Hunt, the stand-up comedian
has partnered with Bolt, bringing his content and voice to The Jackie Button for
iPhone and iPod touch.
Of his decision to work with Bolt
Creative’s Dave Castelnuovo, Martling remarked: "With his Pocket God one of the
best-selling iPhone apps of all-time, if anything can be called the best of
all-time when the whole platform has only been around a few minutes relatively
speaking, the whole world wants to work with Dave Castelnuovo. But I got him.
Why? Simple. Dave wanted me because he’s a huge Howard Stern fan and he knows I
once met Howard Stern. And he got me because I was dying to meet someone with
the last name ‘Castelnuovo.’"
At launch The Jackie Button will
feature 68 PG-rated jokes and 68 wacky sounds and phrases reminiscent of
Jackie’s many years on The Howard Stern Show. New jokes and sounds will be added
every few weeks, so the fun will never stop! The Jackie Button will literally
grow in your pocket into the ultimate collection of jokes to read, howl at, and
re-tell.
A few simple, customizable buttons
put the library of jokes and sounds at your fingertips, so you can easily find
and play your favorites. Other apps have jokes for you to read, but only The
Jackie Button has Jackie Martling telling you jokes.
The Joke Man added: "The bottom
line? I like fun. I like to have fun, I like to cause fun, and I like to share
fun. And the essence…in fact, all The Jackie Button is…is fun. If you don’t
believe me, go nuts and risk the 99 cents. If it doesn’t make you laugh out
loud, there’s something wrong with me."
Available now for download at the
iTunes App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch, The Jackie Button retails for
$0.99
