"We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jacklyn Smith, known to the world as Jacky Oh, a talented Wild N' Out family member whose impact will be forever treasured and missed," read a statement shared to the show's social media pages June 1. "Jacky Oh was a loving friend and beloved colleague of the Wild N' Out cast throughout five seasons."

Jacky Oh first joined Wild 'N Out in 2014 for its sixth season, assisting other stars in sketches. According to the star, she landed the part after being invited to audition by Nick through his assistant.
"I guess he liked me," Jacky Oh told ThisIs50 of the process, "and he liked my look, and he put me on the show."
She first met DC Young Fly at a hotel lobby in 2015, the same year he became a cast member on Wild 'N Out. Jacky Oh thought the comedian was "so cute" during the encounter, though she admitted it was not love at first sight.
"I liked him," she recalled in a 2017 interview with DJ Smallz Eyes. "I was vibing with him."
After leaving Wild 'N Out in 2020, Jacky Oh started her own lip gloss business and pursued a career in real estate. However, her favorite role was being a mom of three.
