Josh is an old college buddy of mine, he has done some awesome random stuff for me just while we were hanging out. He is the shizzle and should definitely not be deleted.Youaredj 03:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Networks?[edit]

I don't think Good Morning America or The Today Show are networks. I think they're programs featured on major networks. Bddmagic (talk) 20:00, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Really dubious[edit]

"Jay appeared at the 2008 Inaugural Ball for former President Barack Obama,"

I decided to see if this, seemingly easily verified piece of information was valid. I started looking for information and a lot of people say this but it just seems like they are quoting his website. Skimming the results, it hit me that Obama was actually inaugurated in 2009 though he was elected in 2008. But every site that references this performance says it was in 2008. That doesn't mean it is a lie but it is suspicious. Trying to find information about "the" inaugural ball made it clear that there is no such thing. There are many inaugural balls. I found no information about Joshua Jay performing at any of these balls.

I tried to confirm other claims but turned up with nothing.

Instead of going through each case I would argue that everything which has no citation should be scrubbed in its entirety. Óli Gneisti (talk) 12:41, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
