Post Description

The Jamie Kennedy Experiment is a half-hour-long American television show that was broadcast on The WB. The host and star of the show was Jamie Kennedy, a comedian who presents a reality format which combines a hidden camera with sketch comedy.

The show's format vaguely resembled that of earlier TV shows like Candid Camera.

In the show, Kennedy travels across the U.S. and finds people to participate in on-camera practical jokes ("experiments"). Usually there is at least one person (who is in on the joke) and the "mark" or victim of the prank (usually a friend or relative of the accomplice). Kennedy dons one of several disguises and assumes a character of his own creation to be part of the gag, often using a different voice. The mark then finds himself in some bizarre, unbelievable situation. When it appears that the mark has had as much nonsense as he can tolerate, Kennedy delivers his punchline: "You've been X'ed!".
