The Jerky Boys movie flopped, and probably deservedly. The group soldiered on with three more albums before Ahmed split in 1997 to pursue a career as an independent filmmaker. Even more troubling for Brennan was his father's death, in 2000. "We were very, very close," he says.
Why did Ahmed leave the Jerky Boys?
They starred in a terrifically awful movie and then Ahmed got tired of calling pizza joints and threatening to kill the manager, and left the group. But Brennan has tried to keep going as a Jerky Boy, releasing an album of mostly ringtones, launching two iPhone apps, and hosting a short-lived podcast.Oct 1, 2020
Who did the Jerky Boys?
Most everyone has made a prank phone call or two. But hardly anyone manages to turn juvenile high jinks into a career. Then there's 59-year-old Johnny Brennan, who is reviving his antics as half of the comedic duo the Jerky Boys with a new album for a fresh generation of jerks.
