I’m back with a new solo episode, and the world feels like it’s getting stranger by the day. From bizarre street behavior in Studio City to demon bees in Australia, to airports charging seventeen bucks for pistachios, I’m starting to wonder if something bigger is going on. I dive into why everything feels upside down, how comedy has changed, why real people online are funnier than Hollywood right now, and why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a comedian. We also get into conspiracy talk, UFO theories, demons, nostalgia, and the lost art of originality.

This one is all over the map in the best way. Think wild viral clips from my FYP, memories from the golden era of stand up, bizarre real-world moments, and some big questions about where society is heading. Grab a coffee and hang with me.

This week on Hate To Break It To Ya with Jamie Kennedy, I'm joined by my old friend Deep Roy! From the moment he sits down, it feels like reconnecting with an old friend who’s lived ten lifetimes in Hollywood. We talk about everything from his early days in London comedy to becoming one of the most iconic performers behind the masks of Star Wars, Doctor Who, Tim Burton films, and of course, his legendary run with me on JKX. Deep has one of the wildest resumes in the industry, and hearing him break it all down with that sharp wit of his is something special. We also revisit some of our classic pranks, behind the scenes moments, and the chaos we caused together. This episode is funny, honest, and a reminder of how underrated Deep really is.

Raven-Symoné stopped by the studio, and from the moment we sat down it felt like two people comparing notes on the same Hollywood madness. We talk about what it was like for her to grow up in the spotlight, from The Cosby Show to That’s So Raven, and how she’s managed to stay grounded while navigating fame, identity, and creativity in an industry that rarely makes it easy. She opens up about what fame does to your sense of self, what she’s learned from decades on set, and how Hollywood has changed for better and for worse. It’s a funny, honest, and real conversation with someone who’s lived through the extremes of fame and somehow came out with more wisdom than ego. About Raven-Symoné: You know her from The Cosby Show, That’s So Raven, Dr. Dolittle, and The Cheetah Girls.

Bill’s not your average horror icon — he’s a Yale graduate, journalist, and musician who brings intellect and wit to the darkest corners of cinema. We talk about his time with Rob Zombie and Tobe Hooper, what it’s like being a calm mind in a chaotic genre, and the spiritual side of acting, from “the spirits of the theater” to his real-life friendship with Timothy Leary. We also dive into everything from Repo! The Genetic Opera with Paris Hilton to true-crime influences, philosophy, and why Bill believes even his most twisted characters are “happy in their work.” This one’s eerie, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful — the perfect peek inside the macabre mind of a horror master.

In this episode, I catch up on everything that’s been going on — the travel, the burnout, and how wild this business has become. From the chaos of Hollywood’s collapse to the strange new world of streaming, AI, and outrage culture, I dive into what it’s been like trying to stay grounded in a system that feels designed to keep everyone fired up. I talk about the “energy” behind all of it — how every emotion, every controversy, and every online argument seems to fuel the machine — and what that means for comedy, creativity, and staying human in a business built on reaction.
