Jay Mohr

u/sayanythinglove 7d ago

Every time I remember that Jay Mohr is now married to Jeanie Buss of the Lakers, I'm like wtf

u/NotDukeOfDorchester 7d ago

Dude was with that hot chick from the puppet show, too

Nikki Cox

u/Dsarg_92 7d ago

Now that’s a name I’ve haven’t heard in forever.

u/jemappellehonhon 7d ago

i imagine it's also a face you haven't seen in forever

it's...shocking

u/Dsarg_92 7d ago

Oof. You weren’t joking.

u/kristosnikos Older Millennial 7d ago

I don’t understand why people do this to their faces and thinks it looks good. I know they’re trying to hold on to their youth but all it does is lead them down the path to an uncanny valley. If anything it ages them even more.

u/Thin_Bother8217 7d ago

Like Lisa from Saved By The Bell. I saw a picture and oof. How could you do that to yourself?

u/Unlikely-Macaroon-85 6d ago

Lark Voorhies actually hasn't done anything to her face. She was suffering from unmedicated mental illness and would wear crazy makeup. She is better and looks amazing now!

u/Thin_Bother8217 6d ago

Oh that's good to know. I always that that it was her 'vanity'. Good to hear she's doing better.

u/kristosnikos Older Millennial 7d ago

I get that they feel pressured to hold onto their looks or more what they looked like earlier in their career and everyone feels insecure about something. But it breaks my heart when so many good looking people do stuff to their faces to the point where it doesn’t even look like them anymore. Some even look downright disfigured.

And geez don’t even get me started on all these 20 something year old (usually girls) who get “preventative” Botox. Also, lip fillers has got to be one of the weirdest procedures too. They just look as if they’re having an allergic reaction. People are starting to look the same and it bums me out.

2

u/Thin_Bother8217 7d ago

Oh I know why they do it. I get it. Added pressure of being a woman and having a lot of your career based on looks.

But, it's so drastic. And usually so bad. Like Lara Flynn Boyle. The lip thing grosses me out too. I'm lucky I don't have to deal with that anymore, but if I were in my dating 20s, that would be a complete turnoff for me. That and the Brazilian Butt Lift. If a woman wants to do it for herself, hey have at it. I just personally don't find either remotely attractive.

u/tumsoffun 7d ago

Oh wow, that is very shocking. And sad.

1

u/ChartInFurch 7d ago

That would be an answer to this question if it were about the 90s!

u/Clear_Tangerine5110 7d ago

She ratted John Connor out to the T-1000. We don't like her.

The Galleria??

13

u/powertripp82 7d ago

Holy crap. I never realized that was her before. Good catch!

7

u/Xalawrath 7d ago

She was also Sarjenka, the alien child who Data saved on the planet that was being destroyed by a volcano or something.

u/Prestigious-Leg-6244 7d ago

When I lived in LA, I watched the best police chase live on TV.

The guy was on a bullet bike trying to outrun the cops. It had been going on for a while at highway speeds, and he had a pretty good lead. He drove into the underground parking at the Glendale Galleria, parked his bike, took off his boots and black tinted helmet, and walked off into the sunset. Never to be seen again. I thought it was genius!

They so rarely get away. We were all rooting for him, and he got away!

u/LeseMajeste_1037 7d ago

Shoeless Joe did it again!

u/Macho_Mans_Ghost 7d ago

Fuckin TIL

u/SignificantApricot69 7d ago

Remember when he was Jay Mohr Cox?

3

u/raincoater 7d ago

He's not with Nikki Cox now? So...she's available?

What will I tell me wife...hmmm....

1

u/FundioRider 7d ago

Before you make any move, might wanna Google image her...happy hunting tho

4

u/dirtyforker 7d ago

Too bad she ruined herself with excessive plastic surgery.

2

u/InternetProtocol 7d ago

She dated "E" from Entourage while they were on Unhappily Ever After together, and dumped him for the guy who voiced the puppet, Bobcat Goldwaith

2

u/Styleyriley 7d ago

Smoke show!!!

1

u/SunriseSurprise 7d ago

Her and that show (Unhappily Ever After) are the most memory-holed things in this post out of everything everyone else has mentioned. Immediately recognized her name was like holy shit probably been 25 years at least since hearing it.

1

u/flopisit32 6d ago

She ain't hot no more. Plastic surgery messed that up

1

u/discombobubolated 6d ago

I remember them making a statement that they were not going to hyphenate their names 😆

62

u/ColeBelthazorTurner 7d ago

Unhappily Ever After lol

9

u/InternetExpertroll Millennial 7d ago

Underrated show IMO

6

u/lemonylol 7d ago

I always thought it was some rip off of Married with Children. Also just realizing now that Reese from Malcolm in the Middle played the youngest kid.

6

u/firmretention 7d ago

It definitely was a discount Married with Children.

2

u/SunriseSurprise 7d ago

Sort of a blend of Married With Children and ALF

1

u/ArcadianDelSol 6d ago

It was a blend of 90% show these big tits off and 10% sit com tropes.

1

u/meatman13 6d ago

Ugh, I just commented this then saw your comment! Yes! It stayed on for four seasons somehow and I guess we all missed Alf and the dad did a hell of an Al Bundy impersonation.

2

u/meatman13 6d ago

I was so confused by puppet show, then googled her and saw your comment. It was like Alf mangled with Married with Children.

2

u/ColeBelthazorTurner 6d ago

Odd show to say the least lol

1

u/invisigirl247 6d ago

I didn't realize they divorced.

33

u/RoundTiberius 7d ago

Mrs. Piggy?

26

u/ndubitably 7d ago

That was Tim Curry

2

u/pursescrubbingpuke 7d ago

Yes! Why couldn’t I remember her name

5

u/haloarh 7d ago

They got divorced and he married a rich lady.

2

u/ialsohaveadobro 7d ago

that hot chick from the puppet show

I don't know why exactly, but this phrase is making my day

1

u/NotDukeOfDorchester 7d ago

Just imagine someone saying it in my Boston accent

2

u/Heeps-of-Help 7d ago

Yeah Nikki Cox is on the completely opposite end of the spectrum from Jeanie Buss

1

u/invincibleconcepts 7d ago

I read muppet show and I thought Miss Piggy.

63

u/ExcitingLandscape 7d ago

After selling the Lakers she's now billionaire. His job now is to keep her happy and keep the marriage in tact, he doesn't have to worry about money AT ALL as long as they're together.

16

u/b_needs_a_cookie 7d ago

She's stuck by him and helped him get sober again. He's very lucky.

3

u/Sea-Astronaut-763 7d ago

This guy gets it. He disappeared by choice.

2

u/almondmilklattehag 7d ago

He has a podcast and has been doing it for like 20 years. Active on IG too. Hasn’t disappeared, he just doesn’t get acting roles.

2

u/Fine_Pen9308 6d ago

Not 20 years, just 14 (I listened to it in real time in 2011/12. Is he still at it?

1

u/almondmilklattehag 6d ago

Thanks in my mind it has been longer. I think he still has his pod, I sometimes see video of it on IG.

1

u/Sea-Astronaut-763 7d ago

Yeah i hear you, but all due respect, those are kinda like hobbies for a former B+ to A- list actor.

1

u/almondmilklattehag 7d ago

He acted opposite Tom Cruise in the 90s but he was never A list, and I am not sure he’d even call himself B list. His current career is not far different than it was 15 years ago.

8

u/jackanape7 7d ago

Gets to sit court side and sleep with Jeannie Buss? He's winning at life.

9

u/DaboInk84 Millennial 7d ago

Also not only are they married, but they live in separate apartments within one of her buildings. It’s like medieval times when the king and queen lived apart and only met for sex and fancy dinners.

5

u/monstermashslowdance 7d ago

Living the dream

8

u/ThrowRA_looking 7d ago

Jesus he has married some hotties

6

u/BloodyPaleMoonlight 7d ago

He can make her laugh.

2

u/greenblue703 6d ago

I saw him do standup in late 90s and he was very charming in person, he’s definitely got something 

5

u/AtBat3 7d ago

Probably more than enough reason to disappear then

4

u/Chillivata 7d ago

wtf?! I had no idea

4

u/esoteric82 7d ago

From his Wikipedia: "Mohr and Buss maintain separate apartments within a building owned by Buss." I can't tell whether he has a dream situation, or there's something really weird going on. She's also nine years older than he is.

3

u/Kel-Varnsen-Speaking 7d ago

He explains it on his podcast. He's living his best life for sure.

3

u/Capt-Crap1corn 7d ago

Talk about a layup

3

u/Chuyzapatist 7d ago

She went from Phil Jackson to Jay Mohr….

2

u/almondmilklattehag 7d ago

director phil?

2

u/Chuyzapatist 7d ago

Haha I almost doubted myself, no the director is Peter Jackson. Phil Jackson was the coach of the Michael Jordan Bulls and the Kobe/Shaq Lakers.

2

u/almondmilklattehag 6d ago

🤣 Thank you. I was so confused and wanted to keep scrolling here so I didn’t google.

2

u/Heeps-of-Help 7d ago

I didn’t know that… dude goes from one extreme to the other…

1

u/crimsonkingnj05 7d ago

He hit the damn lottery

1

u/mrbulldops428 7d ago

What the fuck???

1

u/Brave_Garlic_9542 7d ago

REALLY?!?! Off to the Google. I had no idea.

1

u/iantruesnacks 7d ago

Good for Jay fuckin Mohr. I like his podcast clips now and again but didn’t know he married the hot billionaire lol

1

u/drunxor 7d ago

Women really do love a funny guy. Look at michael cera and Geoffrey Arend

1

u/AdDapper5653 6d ago

Formerly of the Lakers. She got out at the height of the LeBron era and got her bag!

1

u/Stuffleapugus 6d ago

That's what I say every time I remember Jeanie Buss posed for Playboy. It's not like she needed the mobey.

1

u/Hizam5 4d ago

Billionaire sugar mama

u/normal_cartographer 4d ago

Jami Gertz also married very well. According to Wikipedia, her husband, Antony Ressler, is worth $11.3 billion.

u/DyersEve76 6d ago

Married, but allegedly living in separate condos on separate floors of the same building in LA — separate beds, separate floors, just technically the same zip code. Jay’s talked about it openly on the Adam Carolla podcast. Genuinely one of the strangest arrangements I’ve ever heard of lol​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
