Jay Johnston (born October 22, 1968) is an  American actor and comedian best known for his work as a writer and cast member on the  HBO sketch comedy series  Mr. Show and for playing the role of Officer Jay McPherson on  The Sarah Silverman Program.

Career
Jay Johnston's contribution to  Mr. Show were generally of the "evergreen" variety, dealing with more or less universal themes as opposed to the more political/socially satirical material that his fellow writers/performers contributed to the series. As such, Jay was responsible for many of the show's memorable sketches and characters. Johnston often incorporated physical comedy into the show, most notably in the "The Story of Everest" sketch, which features Johnston performing an astounding number of comical pratfalls.
