Jay is an aspiring playwright and actor. In one episode, he put on a performance of his one-man show Bedroom for a small audience in the house (primarily since his visa forbade any work related activity). Jay spent most of his time in the house, either sleeping or interacting with whomever happened to be passing through, mainly Mike, who found himself in a similar predicament during his time in London. Because of their habit of staying up late at night watching TV and playing pool, and then sleeping during the daytime, Mike, Jay and Sharon were labeled "The Night Crew" by the other cast members.
