• Catching Up With Deep Roy: JKX Stories, Star Wars Secrets, and Total Chaos | Ep 231 HTBITY

  This week on Hate To Break It To Ya with Jamie Kennedy, I'm joined by my old friend Deep Roy! From the moment he sits down, it feels like reconnecting with an old friend who’s lived ten lifetimes in Hollywood. We talk about everything from his early days in London comedy to becoming one of the most iconic performers behind the masks of Star Wars, Doctor Who, Tim Burton films, and of course, his legendary run with me on JKX. Deep has one of the wildest resumes in the industry, and hearing him break it all down with that sharp wit of his is something special. We also revisit some of our classic pranks, behind the scenes moments, and the chaos we caused together. This episode is funny, honest, and a reminder of how underrated Deep really is. About Deep Roy: Deep Roy is an actor, stunt performer, and puppeteer known for his work across some of the biggest franchises in pop culture. He appeared in Star Wars as both Yoda’s double and multiple Ewoks, performed in classic Doctor Who episodes, played the entire Oompa Loompa cast in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and worked on several Tim Burton and JJ Abrams films.

• Hollywood’s Star System Is Dead: Logic Over Labels | EP 230 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy

  In this solo episode, I take a hard look at what’s really happening in Hollywood, from the collapse of the traditional movie star system to how social media and short-form content have changed what it means to be famous.

• The Cost of Childhood Stardom and Staying Sane in Hollywood with Raven-Symoné | Ep 229 HTBITY

  Raven-Symoné stopped by the studio, and from the moment we sat down it felt like two people comparing notes on the same Hollywood madness. We talk about what it was like for her to grow up in the spotlight, from The Cosby Show to That’s So Raven, and how she’s managed to stay grounded while navigating fame, identity, and creativity in an industry that rarely makes it easy. She opens up about what fame does to your sense of self, what she’s learned from decades on set, and how Hollywood has changed for better and for worse. It’s a funny, honest, and real conversation with someone who’s lived through the extremes of fame and somehow came out with more wisdom than ego. About Raven-Symoné: You know her from The Cosby Show, That’s So Raven, Dr. Dolittle, and The Cheetah Girls. She’s been acting since she was a kid and now co-hosts Team Time ( @RavenAndMiranda ) with her wife, Miranda. Beyond being a TV icon, Raven’s got perspective — and she brings it here in a way that’s both hilarious and grounded. 🔗 Follow Raven: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ravensymone/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/ravensymone/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RavenAndMiranda _________________________________ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.c... 📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@jamiekennedycomedy _________________________________ Raven Symoné interview, That’s So Raven, Disney Channel stars, Cosby Show, Jamie Kennedy podcast, child actors in Hollywood, Raven Symoné biography, Raven Simone, behind the scenes Disney, Hollywood stories, creative freedom, women in entertainment, Raven Symoné 2025, celebrity interviews Learn more about your ad choices.

• The Macabre Mind of Bill Moseley: Horror, Philosophy & the Spirit of Darkness| Ep 228 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy

  In this episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, I sit down with horror legend Bill Moseley, the man behind Chop Top. Bill’s not your average horror icon — he’s a Yale graduate, journalist, and musician who brings intellect and wit to the darkest corners of cinema. We talk about his time with Rob Zombie and Tobe Hooper, what it’s like being a calm mind in a chaotic genre, and the spiritual side of acting, from “the spirits of the theater” to his real-life friendship with Timothy Leary. We also dive into everything from Repo! The Genetic Opera with Paris Hilton to true-crime influences, philosophy, and why Bill believes even his most twisted characters are “happy in their work.” This one’s eerie, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful — the perfect peek inside the macabre mind of a horror master. About Bill: Bill Moseley is an acclaimed actor, writer, and musician known for redefining horror’s most disturbing roles. His credits include The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, and Repo! The Genetic Opera. A graduate of Yale and former journalist, he’s also fronted the experimental rock group Cornbugs with guitarist Buckethead. ⸻⸻⸻⸻ Follow Bil: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/choptopmoseley IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607820/ ⸻⸻⸻⸻ Discussed in This Episode: 00:00 – “Chop Top Kicks Candyman’s Ass” 05:42 – Meeting Bill Moseley at Conventions & Rob Zombie’s Devil’s Rejects Legacy 11:18 – Jamie’s German Convention Story (William Forsythe Saves the Day) 17:04 – Horror Icons & Serial Killers: Gacy, Rooker, Otis, and the Line Between Evil & Art 23:05 – Kids and Horror: When Your Dad Is Chop Top 28:49 – Numerology, Angel Numbers & Bill’s 11/11 Birthday 34:16 – Working with Paris Hilton on Repo!

• Are We Being Harvested by Our Own Outrage? | Ep 227 HTBITY with Jamie Kennedy

  In this episode, I catch up on everything that’s been going on — the travel, the burnout, and how wild this business has become. From the chaos of Hollywood’s collapse to the strange new world of streaming, AI, and outrage culture, I dive into what it’s been like trying to stay grounded in a system that feels designed to keep everyone fired up. I talk about the “energy” behind all of it — how every emotion, every controversy, and every online argument seems to fuel the machine — and what that means for comedy, creativity, and staying human in a business built on reaction. ______________________________________________ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch/ 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/JamieKennedyComedy Mentioned in this episode: jamie kennedy podcast, are we being harvested by our own outrage, hollywood collapse, comedy industry rant, ai in entertainment, outrage culture, attention economy, louche theory, emotional burnout, stand up comedy truth, hollywood agents, streaming bubble, outrage addiction, independent artists, rant about hollywood, creative burnout, future of stand-up, modern comedy, hollywood hypocrisy, energy harvesting metaphor Learn more about your ad choices.
