JAMIE KENNEDY VISITS NEW ORLEANS IN A ONE-HOUR SPECIAL
Thursday, June 12, 2003 9:00 PM
"Episode 216" (TV-14, D, L) - (Repeat)
� Jamie Kennedy angers a group of tourists when he leads an expensive tour of a swamp filled with strange �animals.� Also, Jamie plays a cajun waiter whose accent is so thick it is impossible to understand what he is saying. David Franzke directed the episode written by Fax Bahr, Adam Small, Brian Hartt, Garry Campbell, Rob Cohen, Josh Etting, Keith Leslie, Matthew Lawton and John Matta.
General Description
A weekly half-hour comedy series hosted by charismatic film star and stand-up comic Jamie Kennedy ("Scream," "Three Kings"), "JKX: The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" irreverently pushes the sketch comedy and practical joke formats to new extremes. Off-the-wall humor and Kennedy�s disarming personality, versatility and comedic acting skills combine to make this unique new series a sly combination of on-the-street sneak attacks and elaborate practical jokes.
In addition to hosting the show in front of a studio audience, Kennedy can be seen � but maybe not recognized in his disguises � in nearly every prank, playing a variety of character roles from a guy who hires people to be his friend on his birthday to a lifeguard who can�t actually swim. Prosthetics will often take Jamie�s physical transformation one step further, as he creates a wide range of recurring characters including members of the opposite sex.
Each episode poses an "important" social question, thus the "experiment," such as "Just how much will a guy look past in order to be with a beautiful woman?" A lot, apparently, as viewers will see in a future episode when Kennedy busts people in the moment of truth.
From executive producers Jamie Kennedy, Fax Bahr & Adam Small ("MAD TV," "In Living Color"), and Mike Karz ("Max Keeble�s Big Move"), the series is produced by Bahr Small Productions and Karz Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television Production and Big Ticket Television, A Paramount / Viacom Company.
