As a gamer and a self-proclaimed binge-watcher of TV shows, I must say that the arrival of Shrinking Season 2 has been a breath of fresh air amidst the monotony of my gaming sessions! The new episodes promise more laughter, more drama, and, of course, plenty of “Jimmy-ing.” If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it refers to Jason Segel’s character Jimmy Laird’s unethical practice of telling his therapy patients what he really thinks and interfering in their lives.
Following a long spell of anticipation, Season 2 of “Shrinking” has made its grand entrance within the 2024 TV lineup, and as an enthusiast, I couldn’t be more elated! Fresh episodes bring along an abundance of chuckles, challenges, and plenty of instances where Jimmy Laird (played by Jason Segel) inappropriately shares his thoughts with therapy patients or interferes in their lives. This term is frequently used during the second season, so TopMob inquired from Segel what “jimmy-ing” would mean if it were a verb.
In the initial season of one of Apple TV+’s top shows, there was much “messing around” or “meddling,” which we called “Jimmy-ing.” Now, the actor Laird himself is getting more comfortable with this concept as he continues to interfere in situations that don’t concern him. Our very own Riley Utley interviewed Jason Segel during the press day for Shrinking, and asked the actor about the term and how it could relate to his name. The cheerful Segel offered a heartwarming interpretation of what “Jason-ing” would signify if it were an actual word.
That’s a lovely question you’ve asked! To answer it, I suppose I might react much like Big Bird from Sesame Street when people are facing difficulties – a mix of empathy and optimism, saying something along the lines of “Don’t worry, we’ll get through this together.” This is quite similar to how Jason Segel’s characters often respond. It could be seen as unfortunate or fortunate, depending on your perspective!
If you don’t find that description suitable for him, then I’m at a loss for what would be. The former cast member of “How I Met Your Mother” certainly exudes a charming, lovable vibe when he appears on screen. Many might say this is a significant factor in making us easily fall for the characters he portrays. Although I don’t know the actor personally, I believe that his ability to comfort others is an appealing trait. Therefore, it may be something we should strive to emulate not only in our words but also in our actions – let’s try to incorporate a touch of “Jason-ness” into our lives as well.

I shared an intriguing tale with you all about how my water bottle started accumulating more accessories, mysteriously shrinking along the way.
Fans involved in medical or mental health fields might prefer not to emulate Jimmy’s behavior, often referred to as “Jimmy-ing,” due to the potentially harmful consequences seen throughout the first season. For instance, Jimmy’s blunt honesty led Grace, his patient, to push her abusive boyfriend off a cliff unintentionally. As a result, Laird now faces the repercussions of such actions, causing frustration for his colleague Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford), who strongly dislikes the term “Jimmy-ing.
Despite Jimmy’s disorderly behavior adding an intriguing layer to the dramedy series, it seems remarkable that productions like “Shrinking” and “Ted Lasso” can thrive in today’s entertainment industry. Bill Lawrence, one of the show’s creators, expressed astonishment about this fact during his interview with TopMob. He elaborated on how today’s creative landscape allows for more freedom, leading to nuanced narratives and well-rounded characters that captivate audiences like us.
As a gamer, I can’t wait to delve deeper into Jason Segel’s complex character, Jimmy, in this upcoming season. I know there might be moments where I wince as he slips into his signature “Jimmy-ing,” but when that happens, I’ll remind myself of Segel’s charming explanation of the term “Jason-ing.
With Shrinking Season 2 now in full swing, keep your eyes peeled for fresh episodes airing every Wednesday. Don’t forget, you can catch these new episodes by subscribing to Apple TV+.
