During the recent launch of Coca Cola Bila Sukari in Meru, Jessy highlighted:

He (Churchill) is the messiah of comedy for us. He is the one who got us from Egypt and we are on a journey.

Churchill has made his legacy and left a mark in the comedy industry as far as Kenya is concerned. But someone needs to pick up and continue the legacy.

Speaking on the same, MC Jessy explained:

We are yet to get to Canaan. But maybe God will send a Joshua. Maybe me, MCA Tricky, Professor Hamo or anyone of us will be the Joshua to take us to Canaan. That´s the respect and honor I have for my brother Churchill and I love him so much.

Despite the backlash Churchill has received in regard to mistreating and underpaying his comedians, Jessy still praised:

This guy (Churchill) has done tremendously well. I thank God for him everyday. For 10 years, I have never stayed a week without work. I don´t need to go to Churchill to pay me. And I forget sometimes about my salary because I will be paid in my other jobs. Because they first saw me at Churchill show.

Being at Churchill Show had already created a name for MC Jessy. He was getting deals from local gigs, to corporates to media establishments.
