Whether you're binge-watching TV or scrolling social media, you may recognize John Franklin, a comedian from West Caldwell.

News 12 New Jersey's Lauren Due interviewed Franklin about his latest comedy special “The Specialist." The special, released on Amazon Prime, was filmed in Asbury Park.

Franklin says he's thankful to be a part of New Jersey culture.

“I’m a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. He was like one of my biggest inspirations growing up. So, to go back to Asbury, film a special in front of my friends and family, and to have it be on Amazon Prime is pretty special," Franklin said.
