In 2011, Patriots running back Jonas Gray tried his hand at stand-up comedy and opened up for Saved By the Bell’s Screech (also known as Dustin Diamond) at a South Bend, Ind. bar, CJ’s Pub where he joked about reality TV, politics and more. At the time, the bar couldn’t advertise that he was performing because of his student-athlete status but according to reviews in local newspapers at the time, he stole the show.

From The Observer:

When Danson introduced Gray, many stood and cheered as he ran out and high-fived friends and fans in the front row. Gray kept the audience roaring with laughter for the next 20 minutes as he talked about his experiences with online dating, Valentine’s Day and his pet peeves. Many of his jokes hit home with audience members. When Gray turned the attention on one man who was laughing uncontrollably in the corner, the man explained his laughter: “’cause you’re telling the truth!”

Gray had four rushing touchdowns in the Patriots win over the Colts on Sunday.
