This article has been deemed GUD.

Regardless, consider contributing if you have more information.

A non-exhaustive collection of lost media involving Jack or other Scalfaniverse figures, roughly sorted chronologically.

"Lost media" refers to any type of media that was once viewable but has since become unavailable, or media that was known to be produced but never received a public release.

DJ Jack Attack tapes

In the early 1990's, Jack worked as a radio host at the Orange County-based 94.3 KIK FM under the moniker DJ Jack Attack. He hosted a show titled Loving, Losing or Leaving. Jack claims that he was fired after mocking Disney's The Mighty Ducks franchise in a segment, with all master tapes of his shows being destroyed in the process.[1] While Jack working at the station can be verified, his story of being fired is dubious.

Uberstink

Main article: Uberstink

Uberstink was a blog ran by Jack and Paul around 2008. The pitch for the blog was for viewers to request troublesome corporation leaders for the two fat men to go harass on camera. While a introduction video for Uberstink was found and preserved,[2] the blog itself and any potential "Uberstink busts" were not.

Cooking with Jack Community

In February 2011, as part of the 100th Cooking with Jack Show episode, Jack launched a forum at CookingWithJack.net with the help of his German friend Andy. To encourage users to sign up, Jack held a week-long giveaway of merch and sauce to three winners.[3] There are no known archives of this forum, with the first capture of the URL at the Wayback Machine from 2013 already showing it being changed to a blog.[4]

Best Sauces pitch for Shark Tank

See also: West Texas Investors Club

In 2012, Jack made a pitch video for his line of sauce in hopes to be invited onto the ABC show Shark Tank. Jack claims the show's producers "loved" the pitch and scheduled Jack for filming in July, before delaying it to September and ultimately cancelling everything. For a blog post explaining what had happened, Jack published the pitch video on Vimeo, which has since been deleted. Eventually, this same pitch video was picked up in 2015 by the rival CNBC show West Texas Investors Club, which Jack infamously appeared in.[5]

80's Rogue Party

The 80's Rogue Party was a pop-up dance event held by Jack and Paul on 13 July 2012, at the Torch restaurant in Buena Park, California.[6][7] It was a successor to a previous event held at Knott's Berry Farm on 1 April 2011.[8] Jack posted a number of promotional videos for the event on Vimeo, which have been since deleted.[9][10] An Eventbrite page for the event was also discovered in June 2022, which has since disappeared without an archive.[11]

A commercial for the 2011 event.

YouNow/Periscope livestreams

From November 2012, Jack hosted a number of livestreams on a site called YouNow.[12][13] He later moved to Periscope up to around January 2016, when he switched to Facebook Live as he got more viewers there.[14][15] All of the livestreams on YouNow and Periscope have since become lost.

"Nicer Dicer Plus - As Seen On TV"

Sometime in early 2013, Jack reviewed the Nicer Dicer Plus kitchen gadget.[17][18] In June 2024, Jack complained that the video was removed by YouTube staff "two years ago",[19] supposedly as he cut himself and bled during the video.[20] No archive is known to exist.

"CookingWithJack" Vidme

"CookingWithJack" was a troll account on Vidme owned by Kiwi Farms user "hats",[21] which was active from December 2015 to around 2017 when Vidme was shut down.[22] It was notable for a February 2016 video of "hats" having tricked Jack into an interview for "a high school project" before immediately confronting him for choking his son Garrett.[23][24] This video has since become lost, with "hats" becoming inactive on Kiwi Farms since January 2017, and the video has been confirmed to not be inside the Archive Team's Vidme archive.[25]

NewsChannel 5 Nashville appearance

In May 2016, Jack presented a "Lazy Man's Peach Cobbler" live for the Southern Woods and Waters program on NewsChannel 5 Nashville.[26] Jack included a quick clip from the broadcast on a Cooking with Jack video,[27] however the full segment has since become lost. Attempts at contacting the show staff for the segment have been unsuccessful.[28]

JOTG Mexico mission trip

In 2016, Jack participated in a mission trip to Mexico. The corresponding Jack on the Go was originally going to be a five-part series, however Jack aborted the idea due to the "lengthiness" of the trip, deleting the already-published first part and instead uploading a "final cut."[29] Some comments on the video rebuked Jack over his explanation, stating he actually deleted the first part from backlash over his constant complaining, which was removed from the "final cut." Jack denied this and insisted any backlash was instead from the mission being religious.[30] Regardless, the original cut has since become lost.

"Low Carb Red Lobster Biscuits"

A Cooking with Jack video from August 2018 making KETO-style Red Lobster biscuits was taken down in a copyright claim by Low Carb Yum LLC,[31][32] presumably due to the stolen thumbnail. No archive is known to exist.

Jimmy "Test Stream"

In 2020, Jimmy livestreamed himself on Facebook wandering aimlessly around Jack's mother-in-law Carolyn's messy house. The stream was discovered by Aunt Myrna's Parlour in March 2024.[34] Jimmy eventually deleted the stream, and a MEGA mirror was found to be also deleted, with its creator having since left the server.[35]

Italian beef sandwich

On 16 September 2022, Jack posted a preview photo of a particularly horrific open face Italian beef sandwich due for a Cooking with Jack video.[37] Ultimately, the video never came out, with Jack dodging questions as to why.

Dishwasher salmon

On 12 October 2022, Jack uploaded a preview clip on his otherwise unremarkable TikTok account, showing him preparing to cook salmon in a dishwasher (and getting annoyed at Hope).[38] Preparation involves wrapping the salmon in tinfoil and placing it for a regular dishwasher cycle.[39] The full video ultimately never came out, and upon fan pushback, Jack explained: "Went very bad. Not good on all dishwashers." This likely means the salmon either came out raw, or exploded and caused a huge mess everywhere.[40]

"Christmas 2024" livestream

Jack held a remarkably disastrous livestream on 16 December 2023 that was deleted almost immediately upon completion.[41][42] The most infamous moment was a troll doxing Tammy's workplace CEVA Logistics, claiming she was being investigated for tax fraud, which particularly rattled Jack. Other highlights include Jack throwing white knight The Wolfe Pit under the bus, Jack claiming Baldur's Gate 3 had "mixed reviews" (It did not, they are overwhelmingly positive), and Jack denying Junior saying "nigga" in the background of a Cooking with Jack video (Which he did).[43] No archive is known to exist.

Shaping Truth

Shaping Truth was a podcast run by Jack's brother Jim from August 2025 to January 2026. Jim largely treated the podcast as his therapy sessions, going into uncomfortable details about his life, plus a series confronting Jack for having banned stealth-troll Ken Blazek. Jim suddenly deleted the channel around March 2026, and when Jack was asked about it, he stated Jim simply was not motivated to continue posting.[44] Only one video is known to be fully archived on PreserveTube,[45] and the audio/transcripts of the videos featuring Jack are available on FatFatGo.[46]
