JAMIE KENNEDY BIOGRAPHY: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW ON ‘STOOPID SMART’ 

In an exclusive talk with uInterview, Kennedy revealed some details about his new stand-up special Stoopid Smart, and what he thinks the job of a comic is. Stoopid Smart includes some of Kennedy’s meditations on fame, thoughts about robots, and even college scams.

Kennedy noted the difficulty of 2020 and shared that he hoped comedy could provide relief for watchers who might be feeling overwhelmed. “I think a comic’s job is to let some airs out of tires,” he told uInterview. What, for Kennedy, is the role of a comic? “A good comic is a voice of society to hold a mirror up to itself. This special has a little bit of that, but it’s a lot more fun escape.”
