Jonathan Jackson

I want to do my serious newscaster voice here.

When I announced that Lib representative Jonathan Jackson, I can't, I can't get through it.

This is unbelievable.

In response to the, in response to the Smithsonian story that we did last segment, Libs are obviously big mad because Libs are big.

So that's the kind of stuff we're talking about.

We also had a great interview last week when we talked with Jonathan Jackson.

Joan had an opportunity to talk with him.

On her show.

And every now and then, dreams lead to other creations.

And this one, in this particular dream, I was somehow sitting at a piano with Jonathan Jackson.

And he was teaching me to play this song.

And as long as he was there, I could sing it.

here.

Yeah.

The song was Let There Be Lonely by Jonathan Jackson.

And yes, the character named Jackson was a nod to him.

when, like, she had actual adults playing teenagers around her.

You know, Jonathan Jackson was a child on this show, and he became a teen when people playing teens were actually adults.

Like, famously, like, and Becky Hurst has said this, that, like, LNL2 was actually quite awkward for her because he was 16, so Jonathan Jackson was 16 years old when that started, and she was 21.

And so she's a 21-year-old having to make out with a child.

And I get what she's saying, that it's awkward.

We don't need any more names like that.

[clears throat] Uh, can you rank from hood of them, Josh Johnson, Jake Johnson, Joshua Jackson, Jack Johnson, Jonathan Jackson, Jeremy Jordan, and Jordan Jensen? Thank you.

Crunch, crunch, gagga, googie.

[laughs]

A com- a comedian playing MSG period is incredible to me.

Especially, it just, that's crazy.

This list, Josh Johnson, Jake Johnson, Joshua Jackson, Jack Johnson, Jonathan Jackson, Jeremy Jordan, and Jordan Jensen needs to be ranked, and I think Jordan Jensen is at the bottom because I've literally never heard of her in my entire life.

[laughs] I've never heard of her.

Yesterday was a busy day.

Spent time meeting with friends, family members, and also a couple of members of Congress, including Jonathan Jackson out of the First District, I think it is, in Illinois.

Just busy having conversation and preparing for what's called a shadow hearing on the issue of the genocide that is taking place in Cuba.

That's the first time I've heard you use that word genocide.

well okay his name's really avery barkley that's after the wire barkley that's insane

um and that's jonathan jackson who was one of those 90s teen heartthrobs You asked me where I knew him from, and the true answer is like Bop magazine.

Jonathan Jackson was sixth on the cost sheet.

Yes.

And Reese actually had a really good version of Reese, 'cause it's Jonathan Jackson of Camp Nowhere fame.

That's right.

Oh.

Twins Maximo and Finbar portrayed Aiden in 2011.

Titus Jackson, the real-life son of Jonathan Jackson, portrayed Aiden from 2011 to '12.

I love when they do that.

I know.

On May 2nd, 2024, Aiden was recast with Tristan Riggs.

On September 30th, 2024, he was recast again with Colin Cassidy.

On July 11th, 2025, Colin Cassidy departed from the show with Jonathan Jackson.

When Aiden left town with his father, Lucky, Aiden returned to Port Charles at the end of the summer for his senior year of high school, but has not been seen on-screen since he left a year ago.
