Matt Shakman

For our 9th anniversary – which of course means a Just the Ten of Us-related Ping – I thought we should take a look at one of the younger Lubbock kids: J.R., played by Matt Shakman.

The biggest thing worth noting from Matt’s iMDB entry is that he hasn’t done one lick of acting since JTTOU. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. So what has he been doing? Ah, scroll down on that entry my friends; Matt has been directing just about every TV show on the air today. Or at least every show I watch… and some I don’t. Psych, House, Ugly Betty, Six Feet Under, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia… the list goes on. It’s impressive!

It’s weird that his landmark stint on JTTOU isn’t mentioned here. Huh.

Anyway, Matt, I applaud your splendid television career. Just don’t forget where you came from, okay?

I wonder if he’s a little ashamed of his work on JTTOU?

I think i’m the ONLY person besides you guys that posts on January 6th, lol

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
