The Jamie Kennedy Experiment - S2 - E23
This is the second season finale, a 90-minute extravaganza from Austin, Texas! Jamie plays an old man who hired the Southwest Texas cheer leading squad for his equally old, former-cheerleader wife's birthday party. How will the cheerleaders react when they learn that what was supposed to have been the lady's birthday party is now her funeral? (Jamie did three variations on this skit, showing all of one and some of the other two.) We're on Orange Alert Status! What does that mean? Well, in the world of JKX, it means that the marks have to go through an extreme security check at a nightclub, practically getting strip-seacrhed in the process. (For the record, the marks were male.) Jamie presented two variations on this skit in this episode. Jamie finds a bunch of wild Texans who are willing to appear in "Guys Gone Nuts"...sort of a male version of "Girls Gone Wild." What will happen when these dudes find out that the tape is being marketed to gay guys? Jamie gives a tour of Austin.
