Tammy 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, Tammy has played a vital role in Jack's everyday functions and often on the show she has to mix 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
According to Jack, in May 1992, the two met when Tammy called into KIK-FM's late night call-in show, "Loving, Losing or Leaving" which was hosted by Jack from 1990 to 1993.[2]
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.
