Editing Just Shoot Me! (section)

===Jack Gallo===
The character of Jack Gallo, portrayed by [[George Segal]], is the owner and publisher of ''Blush''. During his daughter Maya's childhood, Jack was an absent workaholic. The relationship between the two of them develops throughout the series, reaching its pinnacle when he hands the magazine over to Maya in the series finale after retiring. When extolling the virtues of an assistant to Maya, he notes that an assistant (in his case, Finch) can even become one's "best friend," although the sentiment was slightly dulled by his use of the pronoun "it" to refer to the hypothetical assistant (and therefore to Finch).

Jack is four times divorced, although he was married to Maya's [[Secondary school|high school]] classmate Allie for the first half of the series. They have a daughter (Maya's half-sister) named Hannah who was born in the first episode, "Back Issues." Jack showers Hannah with affection, prompting Maya's jealousy. This resentment disappears when Jack explains that he does not want to repeat with Hannah the mistakes he made with Maya. Jack has a running contest with [[Donald Trump]] as to who is, among other topics, the smartest, the richest, and the best gift giver.

In The Book of "Jack," Finch refers to Jack as 'Jackson Gilbert Gallo'; however, in "La Cage" Nina refers to Jack as 'Jackson H. Gallo'.
