Tammy Jean Scalfani (née Flanders; born 17 July 1973) is the wife, carer and primary enabler of Jack Scalfani and the mother of Jack Scalfani II. Tammy is the daughter of Carolyn Flanders and Donn R. Flanders II.

She did not appear much during the first years of the show, but later played a bigger role both on the main show and Jack on the Go as the camerawoman and taste-tester. After Jack's third stroke which rendered his right dominant arm useless, Tammy has played a vital role in Jack's everyday functions and often on the show she has to mix, chop and dice ingredients, lift heavy pans, and pour liquids for him.

Early life

Tammy Flanders was born 17 July 1973 in Tennessee. She moved to Los Angeles sometime during the late 80s and worked as an accountant at several different firms; often holding the title of accountant manager. Not much other information is known about Tammy's life before Jack.

Education

Tammy enrolled in university to obtain a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in order to support Jack's unemployment and his fanciful aspirations of achieving stardom.

According to Jack's ex-friend Joe Chavez, Tammy claimed to have obtained her college degree from a small, former college named "Irvine College of Business" in south Orange County which is completely unrelated to the legitimate and much more prestigious UC Irvine college. Jack asserts that this college is now defunct because it allegedly burned down, so there is no way to verify Tammy's educational background.

However, a search on the degree mill website BuyDiplomaOnline reveals that the Irvine College of Business closed in 1996, contrary to Tammy's LinkedIn profile, which states that she attended the institution from 1993 to 1997. As a result, Tammy may have obtained a fake degree, lied about her qualifications, or simply does not recall her own educational history.

Relationship with Jack

Meeting

According to Jack, in May 1992, Tammy was seen by Jack working at a bowling alley when she was 19. Jack, apparently is a "Sucker for baby face" and would repeatedly return to the bowling ally while Tammy was working to request a date from her. Eventually realizing that Jack wasn't going to give up, she conceded and went on a date with him.

First Date

For their first date Jack invites Tammy to his job as an MC at Elizabeth Curtain Call, a now defunct theatre and dinner show room - presumably located somewhere in or around Orange County, California. When Tammy arrives she is ready to leave immediately and is only prepared to give Jack five minutes to meet her before she nopes out. However Jack reveals himself to her over the microphone, with a loud "BABE!"

The show playing that night happens to be "Anything Goes," and even on their very first date Jack complains about the meal they eat complaining about dry chicken and demanding Tammy "review" the Sour Cream - a trend that would continue to structure the next 30 years of their lives.

Marriage

The circumstances of their relationship in its early stages are unclear and conflicting. It is unknown what drew Tammy to Jack, who had made his own child homeless. It is possible that Jack kept these details from Tammy, or that she simply did not care about them.

Shortly after meeting, Tammy brought Jack to Christ and soon the pair married on 29 August 1998 in a gaudy Western-themed wedding, funded entirely by Tammy's family. Jack and Tammy both wore cheap "Colombian Drug Lord" chic wedding rings, which lost their luster in 2015 and had to be re-dipped.

In 2000, she gave birth to Jack Scalfani II.
