Big Jay Oakerson Reaffirms His Commitment to Legion of Skanks: “This Is My Family, and I’m Not Going Anywhere”
New York, NY – March 20, 2025
After years of leading Legion of Skanks to become one of the most talked-about comedy podcasts, Big Jay Oakerson has shut down any speculation about his future with the show. The stand-up comedian and long-time co-host made it clear that LoS is more than just a podcast—it’s his home.
“I’ve put my sweat and blood into this show,” Oakerson said during a recent live taping. “This is my family, my brothers, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Since launching Legion of Skanks alongside Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith, Oakerson has been at the center of the show’s success. Known for his fearless comedy, quick wit, and ability to push boundaries, he has played a crucial role in shaping the LoS brand into what fans now call “the most offensive podcast on Earth.”
With the rise of cancel culture and controversies surrounding edgy comedy, some wondered whether Oakerson might step away from the podcast or focus on other projects. However, he dismissed the idea, reaffirming his love for LoS and its dedicated fanbase.
“This isn’t just a gig for me,” Oakerson continued. “We started this thing from nothing, built a community, and created a place where comedy can be free. That’s not something I’m ever walking away from.”
His words were met with cheers from fans and support from his co-hosts, with Luis J. Gomez joking, “Yeah, we’re stuck with each other whether we like it or not.”
Beyond Legion of Skanks, Oakerson remains a staple in the comedy world, with stand-up specials, appearances on The Bonfire, and sold-out tours across the country. But for him, LoS will always be home.
“Comedy should be dangerous. It should be raw,” Oakerson said. “And as long as I have a mic in front of me, that’s exactly what I’m going to keep doing.”
With Oakerson reaffirming his commitment, Legion of Skanks isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Fans can expect even more unfiltered laughs, controversial takes, and the signature no-holds-barred style that has made the podcast a comedy powerhouse.
