Jason Roberts fury drives him...

Not much is known about Jason Roberts, although he is rumored to have come from somewhere in the Santa Cruz mountains, and has been sighted repeatedly in and around the Silicon Valley. Record shows he was part of the cast and crew of The Variety Extravagance Festival , a six-man sketch comedy show that ran for 3 episodes in 2000. He allegedly wrote and directed a half-hour film called The Hand of No Return in 2001, and wrote and directed the feature-length Chuck and the Chair in 2002. Some have said he can go weeks without sleeping, although others say he sleeps 12 hours a night. Loyola Marymount University records show he graduated from there with a degree in screenwriting. We know for sure he edited the first episode of Too Young to Be Funny , a sketch comedy show on campuse m, and he may have also been in the cast of Catholic Guilt , a live improv group on campus and in the cast of We'll Keep You Posted , LMU's weekly news show.
