He held various jobs in the entertainment industry while in Los Angeles; among them, he was the Talent Agency Representative for the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA).

Through a fluke meeting at The China Club in the early 1980s, Mr. Jett was offered a contract to model for Cinq Deux Un ("521"), an agency in Tokyo, Japan.

Then known as "Jhett," he became one of the highest paid male models in the world in 1982, with contracts in Milan, Paris, Los Angeles, and Barcelona.

Jett developed projects for these stations to produce, in addition to finding new programs from the United States for them to broadcast.

The show became a local cult classic, and soon became available on cable access stations in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and Austin.

In early 2002 Chris Rentzel replied to an ad in the Dallas Observer that Jack had placed requesting quirky short films.

When radio DJ Jagger bowed out of a new program on Q Television called On Q Live, the hosting job was offered to Jett.

Co-hosts included Charo, Kim Coles, Butch Patrick (The Munsters), and Randy Jones (The Village People).

The show featured a cavalcade of quirky celebrities such as Judy Tenuta, Alan Cumming, Donald Trump acolyte Omarosa Manigault Newman, and Keegan-Michael Key to name a few.

The shows can be seen on TLA Video On Demand, as well as Jett's own online channel, FUTV in JetTVision, operated in conjunction with World of Wonder.

In the year of 2001, Jack E. Jett released a DVD through TLA Video entitled The Gayest Show on Earth.

In the newspaper's blog posting announcing the show, Jett was quoted as saying I don't just go in and talk on the mike while I'm jacking my cock.
