Jack and Dean of All Trades
Jack and Dean of All Trades, often shortened to JADOAT, is a British television series created, co-written by, and starring Jack Howard and Dean Dobbs. The series follows fictionalized versions of Howard and Dobbs, who resign from the bank and become temps, taking on a variety of different jobs which all end badly.
The first episode released in 2016. The series has 2 seasons and 12 episodes fully released on Fullscreen as of April 2017. Howard and Dobbs have a YouTube channel, in which they make comedy sketches that often end on a darker note. Both also have their own individual channels. It has been confirmed by Jack that there will not be a third season of JADOAT. However, Jack and Dean were able to reclaim the rights to release the two seasons of the show on their YouTube channel, broadcast through December 2018. This run ended with the premiere of an exclusive final episode on Christmas Day, wrapping up the show without the need for a third season.
