E43: A Live Jamie Kennedy Experiment with Co-Host Bob Menery
Manage episode 407294278 series 3559303
This week John shares his hosting duties with friend of the pod Bob Menery, sitting down with the one and only Jamie Kennedy for a freewheeling roundtable about LA real estate, the realities of showbiz finances, and the state of social media. Jamie is best known for his wildly popular TV show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment and his role in the iconic Scream franchise. In addition to being a podcaster and producer through his production company, Wannabe Producers, Jamie continues to tour doing stand-up at clubs and venues around the world.
Celebrity culture is full of shallow personalities and zero talent hacks, but over the years Jamie has proven time and again to be the real deal. His belief in his talents landed him major stardom in the early 2000’s and he has never stopped working in the entertainment industry. In this super sized show Bob and John get the full Jamie Kennedy experience as they shoot the shit about everything from the stupidity of dating apps, Bob’s mysterious Saudi investments, Jamie’s concerns over censorship, and why trusting banks with all your money might not be the best idea these days.
This is a must listen episode for anyone who is a fan of Jamie’s unique brand of comedy, social commentary, and classic pranks. The enduring relevance of his work is even judged by John’s 15 year old son who has recently (thanks to Youtube) become a huge fan of The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, proving the debt that today’s TikTok wannabes and “internet comics” owe to an OG of sketch/prank format!
