In 2001, Jason Nash left his hometown and arrived in Hollywood in order to start a career in acting and writing.

Around 2006, when the internet was booming, MTV recognized its ability to connect well with the youths and bought Atom.com, a digital entertainment company, which also provided the first big break for Jason.

Jason then made a switch to stand up comedy and when Atom.com saw his performance on one of his shows, his comic brilliance was immediately noticed and the company offered him to create another web series for them, titled ‘Jason Nash is Married’. The show made its debut on the site in 2010 and in the show, Jason and his on screen wife Busy Philips entertained the audiences with their domestic antics.

YouTube was becoming a favorite among the youth and some big brands wanted to cash in on that. Jason Nash was already an internet celebrity, when GQ approached him to create something for them and the result was ‘How to be a Man’, a parodied show where Jason would interview celebrities in his classic unapologetic comedic style. He was eventually approached for the second season of ‘Jason Nash is Married’, but this time around, Jason wanted to be serious about his filmmaking career and made a movie titled ‘Jason Nash is Married 2’ for comedy central.

Excited over the warm reception from the audiences for his movie Jason started writing more screenplays and sent them out for the studios to consider. His second movie IFC is ready, starring him and his friend Brandon. During that time, he kept appearing in different sketches on the internet and his fan base kept growing. Until now, he has been associated with CBS, IFC and Oxygen. He is also known as the co-creator of a popular podcast titled ‘Guys with Feelings’.
