MY FRIENDS IN TOOBWORLD - JASON YOUNG



One of my NYC friends whom I met through "That Place" (TVXOHOF member the Edison Hotel) where I worked is Jason Young.  Originally from Kansas, he made the rounds of several of the major cities in the USA (all three of them the settings for some TV classics) and is now apparently back in Kansas where he and his wife Zhulekha are raising a beautiful baby girl.

And this past Friday was his birthday!

So this is sort of my little birthday present....

Every so often I run a post that borders on fanfic, featuring the televersions of my friends in what I think might have been their lives in one of the various Toobworlds.

In Jason's case, I think he might be in the alternate Toobworld in which we would find Dr. Dylan Reinhart, author of "Freaks".  (As the noted 
author, university professor, and former CIA paramilitary officer - now working with the NYPD - answered to a black woman who was the mayor of New York City, we have to place Reinhart's series 'Instinct' in another Toobworld.  The main Toobworld's current mayor, Bill De Blasio, has appeared in 'The Good Wife' and been mentioned in several other shows like 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit', 'Constantine', and 'Intelligence'.  So Mayor Meyer has to preside over an alternate Big Apple.)

Therefore, this picture of TV's Jason Young with Dr. Reinhart has to be from that Toobworld. 

And I don't see any reason why it can't be the Toobworld of 'The West Wing'.  Even if Trump has been mentioned as the President of that United States, that world's timeline might have realigned itself with that of Earth Prime-Time... and Earth Prime. 

Why was Reinhart with Jason?  Could be a social situation
 - for Reinhart - with Jason as the hospitality manager of the establishment, similar to what he does now.  Or maybe it was a selfie taken while Reinhart was investigating a case in which Jason had vital information.

NEVER would cast him as the bad guy!

Happy birthday, Jason!
