“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jack Carey both personally and professionally for the past five years

From the moment we met, I knew I wanted to work with him. I could tell instantly that he had the constitution, drive, warmth, kindness and brain to be an excellent team member in any capacity. During my tenure as Executive Producer at “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” one of our colleagues was diagnosed with ALS. Since he loved his job and it energized him, he wanted to continue working as long as he could. I knew the best way for him to keep up his invaluable contributions would be if we paired him with an associate who could jump in wholeheartedly as his partner. We needed someone who would support without hesitation, reservation or ego. I immediately thought of Jack.

Jack successfully co-existed in both our fast-paced TV production as well as gently ingratiated himself into our colleague’s personal life as needed. His responsibilities included handling administrative duties, research, interfacing with agents/managers and professional sports figures but quickly grew intoso much more as our colleague’s needs developed due to his disease. This particular job was extremelysensitive and rare, requiring tremendous emotional maturity, professionalism and grace. He needed tobe a personal champion for our colleague as well as represent him honestly and fully as his liaison in life.

In Jack, we found the perfect partner.I have countless examples of how Jack rose to the occasion of any responsibility he was thrown. No task was too big or too small. He was deeply appreciated by everyone he worked with during his four years on the job - internally and externally. His humanity, heart and positivity are rare to find in this business and he exhibited all three traits consistently on a daily basis.

It would be my pleasure to work with Jack again at any time. I highly recommend him since I know he is capable of accomplishing whatever he sets his mind to do. He would be a great asset to any organization”
