Jake
Shane
is
ready
for
his
close-up.

The
internet
personality,
known
as
“Octopusslover8”
online,
announced
his
role
in
the
upcoming
fourth
season
of

Hacks
with
a
behind-the-scenes
photo
of
his
appearance
on
the
Max
comedy.

“It’s
not
every
day
you
fall
in
love
with
a
TV
show,”
Jake
wrote
alongside
the
pic
in
an
April
2
Instagram
post,
“and
then
get
to
guest
star
in
it.”

The
25-year-old
went
on
to
thank
the
creatives
behind
the
Emmy-winning
series—which
stars

Jean
Smart
as
a
legendary
comedian
seeking
to
reinvent
herself—for
“trusting
me
with
their
vision,”
saying
he
was
“so
grateful
to
be
a
part
of
this
masterpiece
of
a
show.”

Jake
first
gained
prominence
as
a
TikTok
creator
in
2023
with
his
humorous
historical
reenactments,
later
launching
his

Therapuss
podcast
which
has
featured
notable
interviews
with
stars
like


Glen
Powell,


Joe
Jonas
and

Tate
McRae.
But
the
influencer

has
also
been
candid
about
the
intrapersonal
effects
of
his
meteoric
rise.
