The story behind the phrase
Where did "Ladies and gentlemen, my co-host, Andrew Jackson" come from?
The earliest use in the transcripts is episode 37, where the name "Andrew Jackson" is announced as "ladies and gentlemen, my partner" after an awkward moment. By episode 43 James is using it as a ready-made cue.
It is a mock-formal introduction played whenever Jimmie lets slip an accidental racial gaffe. In episode 43 James says that in the first 25 or so episodes he used to cut moments like that out, but now they just joke about it because accidents happen.
How is "Ladies and gentlemen, my co-host, Andrew Jackson" used now?
James still pulls it out for the odd slip, as in episodes 56, 73, 76 and 92, where Jimmie admits the blood rushed to his head. In episode 585 James brings it back with "it's been a long time" after Jimmie says something that sounds like a new slur. It is always a bit of teasing, with Jimmie usually taking the joke against himself.
When was "Ladies and gentlemen, my co-host, Andrew Jackson" first said?
It was first heard in episode 37, "A Deviously Hypocritical Killer", on 27 September 2017, at about 0:27:28.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Andrew Jackson, my partner."
Jimmie, having just said 'Andrew Jackson' by accident, does the introduction himself, mocking James's line; the bit was already established from earlier episodes, where James called him 'my partner Andrew Jackson'.
