For fans who want more than just audio, he also provides video versions of his episodes via Patreon.
The actor/comedian explained how the entertainment business is a lot ‘different’ now
Jamie Kennedy took to Instagram in September 2025 to explain how business in Hollywood isn’t anything like it used to be. “It’s still the best business in the world, but it’s different,” he said.
“Colbert got canceled,” Kennedy explains while speaking to the camera. “He had an amazing run — hilarious dude. There’s going to be other things taking its place. One of the reasons Colbert got canceled is the budget. It was losing $40 million a year, they’re saying.”
He then explained that he was working on a show that’s likely to serve as Colbert’s replacement. “I did it with no agent, no manager. I did it with my lawyer and my assistant,” he said. “I’ll be making more money than I would’ve if I was on Colbert. … And I love Colbert! I’m just trying to tell you the economics.”
Kennedy also gave insight into where he shops. He held up a bag from Ross, noting that he had shopped there for the first time ahead of shooting episodes of this new show.
