Social media personality and author Jovian ‘Markie’ Markland says

he’s bringing back his viral

The online show, inspired by his “man clown days done”

tagline, popularised in 2019 and saw Markland acting as a millennial “Dear

Pastor” of sorts, giving advice to female callers about their

relationships. He also dished on hot topics involving celebrities.

But the show eventually dissolved later that year, and Markland

went on to other ventures like a sex toy store, an online boutique, a podcast

and a book.

The personality, who is currently in Jamaica, explained why the

show came to an end.

“Man Clown Mondayswas a mess enuh; sometimes mi embarrassed fi watch Man Clown Mondays – it was a mess, pure war,” he said.“People always a ask mi, ‘Markie, why you don’t keep Man Clown Mondays?‘. I had to stop Man Clown Mondays because y’all never knew what was happening inNew York. I never talk about it but ManClown Mondays used to cause whole heap a war… I’m gonna start back Man Clown Mondays but I’m gonna do it ina more decent (way). Mi a go still be careless but mi a go just help females asweh mi used to do.”

Having a hot talk show didn’t come as a surprise to the Bull Bay

native as he said he’d always had ambitions of having a platform like veteran

broadcaster Wendy Williams. Interestingly, Markland’s mother thought he’d

become a pastor.

“My mother well waan me fi be a pastor, she well waan me fi

go back inna church but I am in the church,” he said. “Me used to

teef out and go dance and then get up and go church. Even a foreign, every

Saturday night we go dance and Sunday morning a me dat inna church a praise God

and a enjoy myself. Mi never forget God still but mi know mi did born fi go

party.”

He added, “None a mi family nuh party. My brother a deacon, my mada a di president fi di women’s ministry and me just grow up fi be different so mommy haffi just understand seh God give everybody a different blessing.”

A graduate of the University of Technology, Markland migrated and

earned a real estate license but hasn’t actually sold any property.

“Mommy mi nah sell nuh house but mi sell confidence. Mi tell

the girls dem seh man clown days done, a it pay me… I’m technically a pastor

mommy… I am a councillor mommy.”
