Jay London (born September 12, 1966, in The Bronx) is an American stand-up comic whose one-liner jokes made him a favorite on NBC's second and third seasons of Last Comic Standing. He had a thing for saying "Thank you" after some of his one-liners, depending on crowd reaction. He also acted very self-conscious and would randomly badmouth himself, especially if the crowd was left dumbstruck by a joke and didn't laugh much. It was all part of the act.

Take my life, please.
Thank you.

It'll be over soon, miss.
Let me move over here. (Jay would then move barely a few inches to the left or right. He generally repeats this a few times per show)
Sir, would you please come up here and kick the shit out of me?

Well, I'd like to leave you with a joke.
