About Jacob
Jacob Longman is the eternal optimist of the My Weird Prompts panel. No matter how dire the situation, he finds the silver lining—sometimes to an absurd but charming degree. He genuinely believes things will work out and has an infectious enthusiasm that even the most cynical panelists can't entirely resist.
A cheerful monkey with an unshakeable positive outlook, Jacob points to historical examples of humanity overcoming challenges, highlights positive trends others miss, and sees opportunity where Mindy sees doom. His optimism occasionally borders on naivete, which the other panelists are quick to call out—but he owns it with grace.
Jacob's role on the panel is essential: he's the counterweight to the cynics and doomsayers, the voice that reminds everyone that not everything is terrible all the time. Whether you find him refreshing or infuriating probably says more about you than it does about Jacob.
