From Old Hollywood to Scream: 50 Years of Stories with Joseph Whipp | Ep 278 HTBITY W/ Jamie Kennedy
This week I sat down with Joseph Whipp, who played Sheriff Burke in the original Scream and Sergeant Parker in A Nightmare on Elm Street, and I realized pretty quickly how much of his story I had never heard.
Long before Scream, Joseph was a high school drama teacher in Northern California and spent two and a half years playing Randall P. McMurphy in a San Francisco production of One Flew Over th
We’re Living in a Matrix… And AI Just Made It Worse | Ep 277 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy
This week I’m going down the AI rabbit hole because something about this story is getting seriously weird. An AI researcher leaves Anthropic warning about how dangerous this technology could become, we're hearing claims about rogue bots escaping their sandbox, hacking systems and even leaving self-replicating code around the internet — and I’m trying to figure out how much of this is real and how
Mercedes Javid Gets Real About Friendship, Loyalty & Forgiveness | Ep 276 HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Mercedes “MJ” Javid, and we had a lot to catch up on.

MJ also opens up about someone dropping dime on her during the fir

Back with another solo episode, and this one happened because I came home from the Laugh Factory way too fired up to go to sleep.
I went up on a Monday night, the set was going great, and then I tried one joke
The Squatter Hunter on Fake Leases, Broken Laws & Taking Homes Back | Ep 274 HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Flash Shelton — better known as The Squatter Hunter — to get inside one of the craziest loopholes in the housing system.
Flash breaks down how squatters and “deceptive tenants” use fake leases, tenant protections and civil law to stay in properties they don’t own — sometimes leaving homeowners stuck fighting for months just to get their own hous
Panda Express Exposed, WNBA Chaos, & Coca-Cola Bans Jesus | Ep 273 HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy
This week I’m back with another Worlds on Fire, and this one starts with restaurant stupidity and somehow ends with Coca-Cola, predictive programming, Apple, the end times and a conversation with Hayden Panettiere that I haven’t talked about before.
I start with one of my biggest restaurant pet peeves: people cleaning around your food while you’re still eating. If the restaurant is open, the kitch
Scary Movie, Horror Con Chaos & the Real Doofy with Dave Sheridan | Ep 272 HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Dave Sheridan — the man behind Officer Doofy and the actual Ghostface killer in the original Scary Movie — and I have to say, this is one of those conversations where I barely had to do anything. Dave just goes. He's one of the few people who genuinely makes me laugh without trying, and this episode is proof of that.
We get into how Dave created
Scream 30th Anniversary, Confrontational Fans, and How Con Culture Actually Works | Ep 271 HTBITY
In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into everything that went down at the Scream 30th Anniversary panel at Midsummer Night Scream in Long Beach — one of the most elaborately produced con panels I've ever been part of, with a full union crew, stage set, music cues, and close to 2,000 people in the room. It was incredible. But something happened that I couldn't let slide, and I wan
Drea de Matteo on Almost Losing Everything and the $75k Photo That Saved Her House | Ep 270 HTBITY
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Drea de Matteo — Emmy-winning actress, Queens native, Sopranos icon, and one of the most unexpectedly outspoken voices to come out of the COVID era — and the conversation went everywhere. Drea didn't come in with talking points. She came in with a story, and it's a wild one: a foreclosure notice, a flooded house, a lien she needed to pay off fast
Fauci's Secret Diary Is Finally Public — Here's What It Reveals | Ep 269 HTBITY
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya, I dive into the release of Anthony Fauci's personal diary and why I think it's one of the most overlooked stories of the year. I walk through the entries that caught my attention, the Congressional testimony that followed, the debate surrounding his pardon, and why so many people still have no interest in revisiting what happened during the pandemic.
From ther
Los Angeles Is Actually Falling Apart... And Why I'm Talking About It | Ep 268 HTBITY
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya, I just got back from Galaxy Con, and I'm feeling the effects. I talk about what it's really like working conventions, the fans who make it all worthwhile, the emotional drain that comes with being "on" all weekend, and why I'm starting to rethink how often I do them.
Then I get into something that's been happening right outside my front door in West Hollywood.
Shannon Beador Gets Real: 12 Years of RHOC, the DUI, and Why She's Happy Alone Ep 267 HTBITY

AI Will Kill Your Job, Hollywood Pays to Play, and Celebrity Meltdown Over Autograph | Ep 266 HTBITY
In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the AI and automation wave that is coming for your job whether you're ready or not. By 2030, half the positions that exist today are gone — middle management, drivers, all of it — and if you're still going to baseball games and barbecues like it's 2015, you are going to get hit in the face by reality. I lay out exactly what I think you sho

Corey Feldman's Last Appearance on My Podcast (And His New Music) | Ep 263 HTBITY
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat back down with Corey Feldman — actor, musician, and we went deep. The last episode we recorded together had to be pulled for legal reasons tied to an ongoing fakumentary lawsuit, so this one picks up where that left off.

This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Barry Katz — legendary talent manager, producer, and founder of the Boston Comedy Club — and what started as an interview turned into one of the most honest, wide-open conversations I've had on this show.

Kelly Dodd Gets Real: Getting Fired from TV, Cancel Culture, and Why She Has Zero Regrets | Ep 260
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Kelly Dodd — former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, co-host of The Daily Smash, and one of the most polarizing personalities to ever appear on Bravo — and she came in with absolutely zero filter.

This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Sheriff Chad Bianco — the 14th Sheriff of Riverside County and Republican candidate for Governor of California — and I have to say, this one genuinely blew my mind. I've had a lot of guests on this couch, but when a sitting sheriff starts breaking down the machinery of corruption in plain English, you stop cracking jokes and you start taking note
The Hole Under My Driveway, Spencer Pratt for Mayor, and the Hantavirus Cruise Ship | Ep 258 HTBITY
In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the literal hole that opened up under my driveway — 35 feet deep, undisclosed by the previous owner, and possibly connected to LA's underground tunnel system. Or it's a leech pit. Either way, I'm thinking merch. We're also seeing angel numbers everywhere and the pod is growing, so the universe is clearly on board.
From there I get into
Harland Williams Wrote, Directed & Starred in a Movie — And Ryan Gosling House Sat for Him | Ep 257
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Harland Williams — Canadian-born comedian, cult movie icon, and one of the most genuinely original minds I've encountered in 30 years of this business — and I have to tell you, this one got weird fast and I loved every second of it.

This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Paul Rodriguez — comedian, actor, Air Force veteran, and one of the original Latin Kings of Comedy — and I have to tell you, this one hit different.

Spencer Charnas Breaks Down Horror, Metal & the Ice Nine Kills Cinematic Universe | Ep. 255 HTBITY
Spencer Charnas joins me for a conversation about horror movies, heavy music, fandom culture, and how Ice Nine Kills evolved from a metal band into a full cinematic universe.

This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Jerry O'Connell — actor, TV host, husband, dad, and one of my genuinely old friends from the Hollywood trenches — and we went for almost two hours without coming up for air. That's always a good sign.

From San Fernando to Sold Out: How Concrete Built a Comedy Career
This week on Hate To Break It To Ya I sat down with Concrete, comedian, content creator, and Power 106 morning show host, and we didn't stop talking for almost two hours. That's usually a good sign.

UFOs Nobody's Talking About, Coachella Narcissism, and Who Owns the Green Room | Ep 252 HTBITY
In this solo episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I get into the fireball and UFO footage that keeps showing up on TikTok and disappearing just as fast. Orbs, plasma, fireballs over Indonesia — and nobody's following up. Not CNN, not Fox. I'm starting to think we're right on the edge of the biggest disclosure in human history and everyone's just watching the national championship.
From there I re

The Druski Controversy… Is This Acting or Something Else | Ep 250 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy
In this solo episode, I react to the Druski controversy and get into a bigger question that comedy keeps running into: what counts as acting, what counts as parody, and where people draw the line. I talk about transformation, hidden camera, why I’ve always seen character work as real acting, and why comedy still doesn’t get the same respect as drama.
From there I get into some of my old JKX chara

I’m in the new studio for the first time and had to bring in someone who can go deep right out of the gate. Jay Dyer pulls up and we get into everything from how media used to work in Hollywood to how it works now, and why it feels like the biggest stories in the world barely last a day anymore.

You Ever Heard of These Shows? | Ep 248 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy
In this episode, I open up a bunch of memorabilia that’s been sitting around for way too long—from original artwork tied to Son of the Mask to fan-made pieces and some unexpected surprises. It turns into a weird mix of nostalgia, reflection, and appreciation for how far this journey has come.
But then I start thinking about where things are at right now…
I’m looking at all these shows, all these
Why I Wasn’t at the Scream 7 Premiere & What’s Happening to Hollywood | Ep 247 HTBITY

We’ve Completely Lost Perspective | Ep 245 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy WOF #53
In this World’s On Fire episode, I talk about how completely out of touch everything feels right now.

I get into a situation in Las Vegas that wasn’t about money, but about principle — a casino e

If This Wasn’t Real, They Wouldn’t Be Hiding It | Ep 243 HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy WOF #52
I didn’t plan on making this episode. But after reading what’s been released and more importantly what’s still being hidden, I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
This isn’t about conspiracy buzzwords or internet rabbit holes. It’s about something much simpler: why names keep getting protected, why accountability stops at power, and why the worst people always seem to vanish behind redactions. If this st
