You Ever Heard of These Shows? | Ep 248 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy

About this episode

Jamie Kennedy reflects on memorabilia and discusses the current state of TV shows and cultural impact.

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 nominations, all this “content”—and I can’t help but ask: have you even heard of these shows? Are people actually watching this stuff, or are we just being told what’s popular? We’ve got more shows than ever, but it feels like nothing really breaks through the way it used to. No shared moments. No cultural impact. Just endless options. I talk about building this platform from scratch, what it means to have control over your own content, and why doing your own thing might matter more now than ever. _____________________________ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro & setting up the episode 3:12 Opening fan mail & memorabilia unboxing 12:45 Original artwork and Son of the Mask stories 24:59 Thoughts on creativity, success, and “the doing” 32:50 More memorabilia and fan appreciation 39:25 “Have you even…
